Disposal Appliance Packaging Information All materials are environmentally friendly. They can be dumped or burned at an incinerating plant without danger. About the materials: The plastics can be recycled and are identified as follows: >PE< for polyethylene, e.g. the outer covering and the bags in the interior.
Climate classification If the refrigeration appliance is installed next to another refrigerator or freezer a clearance of 5 cm at the sides is required, in order to prevent the formation of condensation on the outside of the appliance.
Reversing the door 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. Warning! When changing the side at which the door opens, remove plug from the mains. Left door opening: Remove the grid from the appliance by pulling it towards.

Remove covering and adjust the bracket locking nuts. Push the appliance into place. The plug socket necessary for connection of the appliance to the electricity supply should be positioned, so that the plug is not placed in the recess. Adjust height.
Fitting the plinth Important! For the efficient operation of the appliance, it is important that the original ventilation grid is used. • For an opening height dimension A=820 mm and a plinth height dimension a=100 mm, the plinth may be fitted without adjustments. The same applies to an opening height dimension B=870 mm and a plinth height dimension b=150 mm.
The mains cable may only be changed by a qualified electrician or competent person. If your appliance needs repairing, please contact your local AEG Service Force Centre. Electrical Connection Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person.
Description of the appliance View of the appliance Butter/cheese compartment Sliding shelf Bottle shelf Vegetable drawers Storage shelves Thermostat Frozen food storage/freezing food, icemaking. Prior to Initial Start–Up Please clean the appliance interior and all accessories prior to initial start-up (see section: “Cleaning and Care”).
Starting up and temperature regulation Connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply. When the refrigerator compartment door is opened, the internal light- ing is switched on. The temperature selector knob is located on the right hand side of the refrigerator compartment.
Interior Accessories Storage shelves/wire trays 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 drawers, and keep it in this position.
Freezing and storing frozen food The freezer compartment is for freezing and storing food. Important! • The temperature in the freezer compartment must be –18°C or col- der before freezing fresh food or storing food already frozen. • Do not freeze too large a quantity at any one time (max. 2 kg per 24 hrs).
Preparation of Ice Cubes Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water, place it in the freezer compartment and leave to freeze. 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, since you may damage the refrigerating circuit.
Remove frozen food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and store it, covered, in a cool place. Switch off the appliance and unplug it, or disconnect from the elec- tricity supply. Remove the stopper from the meltwater outlet and place a bowl underneath it to catch the meltwater.
