Refrigerant  
Reversing the door  
The refrigerant isobutane (R600a) is contained within the refrigerant circuit  
of the appliance, a natural gas with a high level of environmental compat-  
ibility, which is nevertheless flammable.  
• During transportation and installation of the appliance, be certain that  
none of the components of the refrigerant circuit become damaged.  
• If the refrigerant circuit should become damaged:  
– avoid open flames and sources of ignition;  
– thoroughly ventilate the room in which the appliance is situated.  
The side the door opens can be changed from the right side (factory fitted)  
to the left side.  
Warning! When changing the side the door opens, the appliance must not  
be connected to the mains. Remove plug from the mains before reversing  
the door.

There is a risk of an explosion! Do not store any containers with flamma-  
ble materials such as, for example, spray cans, fire extinguisher refill car-  
tridges etc in the refrigerator/freezer.  
• Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer compartment. They can  
burst when the contents freeze, high carbonate content drinks can even  
explode! Never store lemonade, juices, beer, wine, sparkling wine etc. in  
the freezer compartment.  
Installation Location  
The appliance should be set up in a well ventilated, dry room.  
Energy use is affected by the ambient temperature. The appliance should  
therefore  
– not be exposed to direct sunlight;  
– not be installed next to radiators, cookers or other sources of heat;  
• Ice cream or ice cubes can cause “frost/freezer” burns if consumed strai-  
ght from the freezer.  
– only be installed at a location whose ambient temperature corresponds to  
the climate classification, for which the appliance is designed.  
• Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could freeze to the  
food.  
The climate classification can be found on the rating plate, which is locat-  
ed at the left on the inside of the appliance.  
• Do not operate any electrical appliances in the refrigerator/freezer (e.g.  
electric ice cream makers, mixers etc.).  
The following table shows which ambient temperature is correct for each  
climate classification:  
• Before cleaning the appliance, always switch off the appliance and  
disconnect from the electricity supply.

Service  
• Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the appliance your-  
self. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or  
serious malfunctioning. Contact your local AEG Service Force Centre.  
Your appliance needs air  
Air flows in from under the door,  
at the front, and flows out  
upwards, over the back. For cor-  
rect air circulation, it is important  
that the ventilation openings are  
not covered or obstructed.  
Important: If the appliance is  
positioned under a kitchen wall  
unit, a minimum clearance of 10  
cm must be left between the top  
of the appliance and the over-  
hanging wall unit.

necessary.  
The food is too warm.  
• The temperature in the freezer compartment must be –18 °C or colder  
before freezing food.  
A large quantity of warm food  
was placed in the appliance  
within the last 24 hours.  
Turn the temperature regulator  
to a colder setting.  
• Please observe the freezing capacity given on the rating plate. The  
freezing capacity is the maximum quantity of fresh food that can be  
frozen within a period of 24 hours. If you wish to freeze food several  
days in a row, please observe a maximum capacity of only 2/3 to 3/4  
of that on the rating plate. The quality of the food is best preserved  
when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible.  
• Allow warm food to cool down before freezing. The warmth will cause  
increased ice formation and increase the power consumption.  
• Please note the maximum storage times specified by the manufacturer.  
The appliance is near a heat  
source.  
Please look in the "Installation  
location" section.  
Please look in the "Changing  
the Light Bulb" section.  
Interior lighting does not work. Light bulb is defective.

bly after reversing the door).  
• Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into meals)  
may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time.  
• Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at low temperatures.  
There is a risk of an explosion! Do not store any containers with flamma-  
ble materials such as, for example, spray cans, fire extinguisher refill car-  
tridges etc in the refrigerator/freezer.  
• Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer. They can burst when  
the contents freeze, high carbonate content drinks can even explode!  
Never store lemonade, juices, beer, wine, sparkling wine etc. in the free-  
zer.  
• All foods must be packed air tight prior to freezing, so that they do not  
dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination of  
other frozen goods occurs.  
Important! Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could  
freeze to the food.  
Appliance is not level.  
Readjust the feet.  
Unusual noises.  
The appliance is touching the  
wall or other objects.

If after all these checks your appliance does not operate correctly, contact  
your local AEG Service Force Centre.  
Please note that it will be necessary to provide proof of purchase for any in-  
guarantee service calls.  
In-guarantee customers should ensure that the above checks have been  
made as the engineer will make a charge if the fault is not a mechanical or  
electrical breakdown.  
1.  
To achieve faster freezing of food or to freeze the maximum allowed quan-  
tity, depress the ambient switch 12 hours before loading the food without  
modifying the thermostat setting.  
Place the food to be frozen in the top drawer. Unfrozen food must not tou-  
ch items already frozen, otherwise the frozen food could begin to defrost.

Frozen food Symbols/Freezing Calendar  
Energy Saving Tips  
• The symbols on the drawers show different types of frozen goods.  
• Do not install the appliance near cookers, radiators or other sources of  
continuous warmth. High ambient temperatures cause longer, more fre-  
quent operation of the compressor.  
• Ensure sufficient air circulation at the appliance base and at the back wall  
of the appliance. Never cover air vent openings.  
• The numbers indicate storage times in months for the appropriate  
types of frozen goods. Whether the upper or lower value of the indi-  
cated storage time is valid depends on the quality of the foods and  
pre-treating before freezing. The lower value applies to foods with  
high fat content.  
• Do not place warm foods into the appliance. Allow warm foods to cool  
first.  
• Do not leave the door open any longer than necessary.  
• Do not set temperature any colder than necessary.  
• Put frozen food in the fridge to defrost. The cold in the frozen food will  
then be used to cool the fridge.  
Accumulation of dust on 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. Ensure the appliance is  
switched off.  
Preparation of Ice Cubes  
1.  
Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water, place it in the freezer com-  
partment and leave to freeze.  
2.  
To loosen the frozen cubes, either bend the ice cube tray or hold it under  
running water for a few seconds.  
Important! Never try to free an ice tray that is frozen to the freezer com-  
partment using pointed or sharp edged objects. Use the ice scraper supplied.  
Something Not Working
