Starting up and temperature regulation

Insert the plug of the connection lead into the plug socket with protective earth contact.
When the refrigerator compartment door is opened, the internal lighting is switched on.

The temperature selector knob is located on the RH side of the refrigerator compartment.
Setting 0 means:
Off.
Turning clockwise in direction Refrigerating unit on, the latter then operating
automatically.
Setting 1 means:
Highest temperature, warmest setting.
Setting 7 (end-stop) means:
Lowest temperature, coldest setting.
At a low ambient temperat

ure of around 16 ℃, setting 1 should be selected. At ambient

temperatures of around 25 ℃, select setting 2. If you require a lower temperature, select
setting 3 or 4.
Important!
High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer days) and a cold setting on the
temperature regulator (position 6 to 7) can cause the compressor to run continuously.
Reason: when the ambient temperature is high, the compressor must run continuously to
maintain the low temperature in the appliance. The fridge will not be able to defrost since
automatic defrosting of the fridge is only possible when the compressor is not running
(see also“Defrosting” section). The result is the build up of a thick layer of frost on the
fridge rear wall.
If this happens, turn the temperature regulator back to a warmer setting (position 3 to 4.
At this setting the compressor will be switched on and off as usual and automatic
defrosting recommenced.
Interior accessories
Various glass or plastic storage shelves and wire trays are included with your appliance -
different models have different combinations. You should always slide one of the full size
glass storage shelves into the lowest set of guides, above the fruit and vegetable
containers, and keep it in this position.
The height of the storage shelves can be adjusted:
To do this, pull the storage shelf forward until it can be swiveled upwards or downwards
and removed. Please do the same in reverse to insert the
shelf at a different height. 1

Tip:
Food in the fridge should always be covered or packaged, to prevent drying and tainting
of other food.
The following are suited for packaging:
z Polyethylene airtight bags and wraps,
z Plastic containers with lids;
z Special plastic covers with elastic,
z Aluminium foil.
Defrosting
The fridge defrosts automatically. The rear wall of the fridge covers with frost when the
compressor is running, and defrosts when the compressor is off. The water from the
thawing frost evaporates by itself.
Switching off the appliance
To switch off the appliance, turn the temperature regulator to position ”0”.
If the appliance is not going to be used for an extended period:
Remove all refrigerated packages.
Switch off the appliance by turning the temperature regulator to position “0”.
Remove the mains plug or switch off or disconnect the electricity supply.
Clean thoroughly (see section: Cleaning and Care)
Leave the door open to avoid the build up of odors.
Door reversal
The side at which the door opens can be changed from the right side (as supplied) to the
left side, if the installation site requires. Tilt the appliance slightly towards the rear and
prop it securely. Unscrew the door hinge screws and remove the hinge pin bracket. Open
the door a little way and take it out downwards.

Unscrew the upper pin and screw it into place on the opposite side. Fit the door into the
upper pin and close it. Screw the hinge pin bracket securely into place on the opposite
side using the screws.

Warning!
When changing the side at which the door opens, the appliance must not be connected to
the mains. Remove plug from the mains beforehand.

Cleaning and Care

For hygienic reasons the appliance interior, including interior accessories, should be
cleaned regularly.
Warning!
The appliance may not be connected to the mains during cleaning. Danger of electrical
shock! Before cleaning switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains, or
switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse.
Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner. Moisture could accumulate in electrical
components, danger of electrical shock! Hot vapors can lead to the damage of plastic
parts. The appliance must be dry before it is placed back into service.
Important!
Ethereal oils and organic solvents can attack plastic parts, e.g. lemon juice or the juice
from orange peel, butyric acid, cleanser that contain acetic acid.
Do not allow such substances to come into contact with appliance parts.
Do not use any abrasive cleansers.
Remove the food from the refrigerator. Store it in a cool place, well covered. Switch the
appliance off and remove the plug from the mains, or switch off or turn out the circuit
breaker or fuse. Clean the appliance and the interior accessories with a cloth and
lukewarm water. Commercially available dish washing detergents may also be used. After
cleaning wipe with fresh water and rub dry. Accumulation of dust at the condenser
increases energy consumption. For this reason carefully clean the condenser at the back
of the appliance once a year with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner. Check the water drain
hole on the rear wall of the fridge. Clear a blocked drain hole with the aid of the green peg
in the pack of accessories included with the appliance. After everything is dry place
appliance back into service.
Energy Saving tips
Do not install the appliance near cookers, radiators or other sources of warmth. High
ambient temperatures cause longer, more frequent operation of the compressor. Ensure
sufficient air circulation and exhaust at the appliance base and at the back wall of the
appliance. Never cover air vent openings. Do not place warm foods into the appliance.
Allow warm foods to cool first. Only leave door open as long as necessary. Do not set
temperature any colder than necessary. Keep the heat emitting condenser-the metal
grille on the rear wall of your appliance, always clean.
Changing the light bulb
Light bulb data: 220-240 V, max. 15 W
1. To switch off the appliance, set the temperature regulator to position “0”.
2. Unplug the mains plug.
3. To change the light bulb, undo the screw.
4. Press the light bulb cover as shown and slide it backwards.
5. Change the defective light bulb.
6. Refit the light bulb cover and the screw.
7. Put the refrigerator back into operation.
Warning!

-8-
Before changing the light bulb, switch off the appliance and unplug it, or pull the fuse or
the circuit breaker.

Trouble shooting

Noises during Operation

The following noises are characteristic of refrigeration appliances:
z Whenever the compressor switches on or off, a click can be heard.
z As soon as the compressor is in operation, you can hear it humming.
z When refrigerant flows into thin tubes, you can hear bubbling or splashing noises.
z Even after the compressor has been switched off, residue noise can be heard for a
short time.
Correcting Malfunctions
Spare parts:
The following spare parts can be ordered from your local AEG Service Force Center. You
can fit these yourself without any special skill or training, e.g.:
Butter/cheese compartment; Egg holders,
Door racks; Fruit and vegetable drawers,
Storage racks.
A malfunction may be caused by only a minor fault that you can rectify yourself using the
following instructions. Do not perform any other work on the appliance if the following
information does not provide assistance in your specific case.

Important!
Repairs to refrigerators/freezers may only be performed by competent service engineers.
Improper repairs can give rise to significant hazards for the user. If your appliance needs
repairing, please contact your specialist dealer or your local Service Center.

PROBLEM SOLUTION
Check that it is properly plugged in, that the fuse has not blown
The freezer does not operate or that the circuit-breaker has not tripped.

Check the thermostat and set it to a more appropriate

The freezer is too cold/ not cold enough temperature.

Check the bulb and change it if necessary. Also check that the
plug is correctly inserted, that the fuse has not blown or that the
The fridge light does not come one
circuit-breaker has not tripped.

The fridge vibrates or makes noise Check that it is perfectly level. Adjust the feet.

The compressor does not restart after a This is normal, as the compressor only restarts after a certain
temperature change time.

There is water on the floor or the racks The drain hole is blocked. Unclog it with a knitting needle.
