Important Safety Instructions These warnings are provided in the interests of your safety. Ensure that you understand them all before installing or using this appliance. Your safety is of paramount importance. If you are unsure about any of the meanings of these warnings contact the Customer Care Department.
• Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunctioning. Contact your local AEG Service Force Centre. Environmental Information Packaging material The packaging materials are environmentally friendly and can be recy- cled.
Old appliance The symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that this product may not be treated as household waste. Instead it shall be handed over to the applicable collection point for the recycling of elec- trical and electronic equipment. By ensuring this product is disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health, which could otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste handling of this product.
Before Use Packaging 1. Remove all adhesive tape and packaging from the interior of the appli- ance. Any remnants of adhesive can be removed with white spirit. 2. Remove the transport protection pieces and pull off the adhesive tape. 3. Wash the inside of the appliance with lukewarm water with a little bicarbonate of soda added (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water).
Installation The position of the freezer part and the fridge part in the combination fridge-freezer can be decided by the customer. However the final assembly of the appliance or a later change in the position of the freezer and fridge must be carried out by your local Service Force Centre.
Installation The Refrigerator needs Ventilation Air is fed under the door through the vent slots in the base and is exhausted upwards along the back wall. To ensure proper air circulation never cover or alter the vent openings. Important! If the appliance is installed under a hanging cabinet, a clearance of at least 10 cm between the top of the appliance and the cabinet above it must be maintained.
Electrical Connection Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person. WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety measures not be observed. Before switching on, make sure the electricity supply voltage is the same as that indicated on the appliance rating plate.

Description of the Appliance Temperature Display • During normal operation, the temperature currently present in the refrigerator (ACTUAL temperature) is displayed. • When the temperature is being adjusted a flashing display indicates the fridge compartment temperature currently set (DESIRED temper- ature).
Quick chill The quick chill function can be used for the fast cooling of drinks in cans or bottles in the fast cool storage tray or of larger amounts of room-temperature food. The built-in charcoal filter reduces the development of any smell. Chilling of cans/bottles Place cans or bottles in the holder on the quick chill shelf in front of the fan...
Prior to Initial Start–Up Before connecting the appliance to the mains and putting it into operation for the first time, leave the appliance to stand for 30 minutes if was transported upright. After transport on its side, the appliance must be left to stand for 2 hours before putting it into operation. This is necessary to allow the refrigerant to flow back into the compressor.
Note: From a food safety point of view, +5 °C for the refrigerator compartment should be considered cold enough as a storage temperature. When the buttons are not further pressed after an adjustment has been made, after a short period (approx. 5 sec.) the temperature display swit- ches over and again displays the ACTUAL temperature in the refrigera- tor.
Holiday Mode In the holiday mode the temperature for the refrigerator is approxi- mately +15 °C. In the holiday mode it is therefore possible to leave the door of the empty refrigerator closed during periods of extended absence. Advantage: Unintentional closing of the door, or accidental closing of the door by persons who have access to your home during your absence, is no longer possible.
Control and Information Systems The control and information systems consist of the temperature display, an optical warning display and an acoustic warning. The system warns if: – if the appliance door remains open for longer than 5 minutes; – if the temperature in the fridge compartment is too warm; –...
Interior Fittings Storage Shelves The shelf in the lowest runners over the fruit and vegetable drawer must always remain in this position, so that fruit and vegetables stay fresher for longer. The remaining storage shelves can be adjusted to various heights: 1.
The ventilation grille above the salad bin improves air circulation so that groceries keep for longer. Bottle Rack Place bottles in the rack with the bottleneck to the front. Important: Only store unopened bottles horizontally. The bottle rack can be tilted for storing opened bottles.
Interior Fittings Bottle and Can Holder The side of the bottle and can hol- der is moveable to enable a more flexible placement of cans and bottles in front of the grid. To alow the holder to be moved easier when moving sideways, press the shelf backwards.
Proper Storage The cooling fan ensures an even tem- perature distribution in the fridge. There is a max. temperature differ- ence of 1 °C. Foods with different lengths of storage time can therefore be arranged on the shelves as you like, without having to take into account the different temperature zones which usually occur.
Hints and Tips Normal Operating Sounds • You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or tubing at the rear, to the cooling plate/evaporator. • When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped round and you will hear a whirring sound or pulsating noise from the compressor.
Defrosting The Fridge defrosts automatically Maintenance and Cleaning Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried out DISCONNECT the appliance from the ELECTRICITY supply. Internal Cleaning 1. Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water). Rinse and dry thoroughly. Warning! •...
When replacing the lamp only fit a lamp of suitable diameter, that is at least 18 mm, this will ensure a good seat on the rubber seal. Where to purchase: specialist retailer or AEG Service Force Centre. 818 35 69-02/2...

Temperature memory While the current freezer temperature is above -11 °C, the warmest temperature the freezer has reached during the alarm period is stored and can be called up as often as wished by pressing the ALARM OFF button. If the temperature in the freezer compartment drops to under -11 °C and the ALARM OFF button has not been pressed prior, the warning tone will switch off automatically.
Freezing Except for the bottom drawer, which serves for storage purposes, all compartments and drawers are suited for freezing small quantities of fresh food. The two upper compartments are suited for freezing of large quantities of food. Important! • The temperature in the freezer compartment must be –18 °C or colder before freezing food.
Tips: • The following are suited for the packaging of frozen goods: – freezer bags and polyethylene wraps; – plastic containers for frozen goods; – extra–thick aluminium foil. • The following are suitable for sealing bags and wrap: plastic clips, rubber bands or tape. •...
Storage Goods Symbols/Freezing Calendar (not on all models) • The symbols on the drawers show different types of frozen goods. • The numbers indicate storage times in months for the appropriate types of frozen goods. Whether the upper or lower value of the indicated storage time is valid depends on the quality of the foods and pre-treating before freezing.

What to do if ... Malfunction The appliance is over- cooling. The freezer compartment temperature is insufficient. Interior illumination does not function. Accumulation of frost at the door seal. Unusual noises. The compressor does not start immediately after pressing the FROSTMATIC button, or after changing the temperature setting.
Replacing the light bulb Warning! Danger of electrical shock! Before replacing the light bulb switch appliance off and remove the mains plug, or switch off or disconnect from the electricity supply. Light bulb specifications: 220-240 V, max. 25 W, socket: E 14 1.
Technical Terminology • Refrigerant Liquids that can be used to a generate a cooling effect are known as refrigerants. They have a relatively low boiling-point, indeed so low, that the warmth from the food stored in the fridge or freezer can cause the refrigerant to boil and vaporise.
