Installation Installation Location The appliance should be installed 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; –...
The freezer needs air 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, for example, a hanging cabinet, a clearance of at least 10 cm between the top of the appliance and the cabinet...
Installation 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.
Opening the door If the door is closed when the appliance is in operation, it cannot be immediately opened again, because a vacuum occurs which holds the door closed until pressure has been equalised. The door can be opened again after several minutes. If your appliance is equipped with a QUICK door opener - an opening mechanism integra-...

Description of the appliance View of the appliance Freezer tray with ice cube trays and cold accumulation block Compartments with lids and drawers (for storage and freezing) Drawer (for frozen food storage only) The bottom drawer also serves as a water collector when defrosting Freezer tray A freezer tray with two ice cube trays and one cold accumulation block is inserted at the very top of the freezer compartment.
Cold accumulation block There is one cold accumulation block in the freezer tray. Refer to the section “Prior to Initial Start–Up” concerning freezing of the cold accumulation block. In the event of a power failure or malfunction, the cold accumulation block will increase the hold over period by several hours, providing it is placed in the uppermost drawer, at the front, above the frozen food.
Initial use 1 Warning indicator light (red) 2 WARNING OFF button 3 Fast freeze indicator light (yellow) 4 Fast freeze button 5 Pilot light (green) 6 Temperature regulator and ON/OFF-switch The temperature regulator is also the ON/OFF-switch. A coin is needed to turn the temperature regulator. This makes it more difficult to change the temperature setting accidentally (child protec- tion).
Page 19
0 Insert plug into mains socket. 0 Turn the temperature regulator to the desired setting with the aid of a coin. The green pilot light illuminates. The compressor starts and then runs automatically. A warning tone sounds and the red warning light flashes indicating that the required storage temperature has not yet been reached.
Switching the Appliance Off 0 To switch off, turn the temperature regulator to position "0". The green pilot light goes out. If the appliance is not going to be used for an extended period: 0 Turn the temperature regulator to position "0". The green pilot light goes out.
0 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. Caution! Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could freeze to the food.
Preparation of Ice Cubes 0 Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water, place it in the freezer and leave to freeze. 0 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 compartment using pointed or sharp edged objects.
Defrosting During use and when the door is opened, moisture is deposited as frost inside the appliance, particularly on the evaporator. This frost must be removed from time to time using a soft plastic scraper. Under no cir- cumstances use hard or pointed objects for this purpose. The freezer compartment should always be defrosted when the layer of frost has reached a thickness of approx.
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 com- pressor.
Maintenance and Cleaning Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried out DISCONNECT the appliance from the ELECTRICITY supply. Internal Cleaning 0 Defrost the freezer compartment (see section: "Defrosting"). 0 Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water).
Noise The compressor does not start immedia- tely after changing the temperature set- ting. If after the above checks there is still a fault, call your local AEG Service Force Centre. Solution Check there is power at the socket Check there is not a power cut by checking the household lights.

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 mechani- cal or electrical breakdown. Please note that proof of purchase is required for in-guarantee service calls.
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.
