General Instructions, Choice Of Location; Appliance Packaging Information - AEG Automatic Refrigerator Operating Instructions Manual

IMPORTANT
If your new appliance has been bought to replace
an older model, please make the old appliance un-
usable at once: pull the plug out of the socket, cut
the connecting lead off, and dispose of the plug to-
gether with the remaining lead in an environmentally
friendly manner.
Any snap catch or lock on your old appliance
should also be made unusable before you put the
appliance away or hand it over to be disposed of in
an environmentally friendly manner.
In this way you can prevent children from locking
themselves in when playing and thus endangering
their lives.
Please make sure that the pipelines of your fridge-
freezer are not damaged before collection for envi-
ronment-friendly disposal.

General instructions
You have just purchased a home refrigerator which
has been produced according to the standards
applicable to these appliances.
During manufacture, the necessary measures have
been taken as required by the Appliance Safety Act
(GSG), the Accident Prevention Regulations for
Refrigerating Installations (VBG 20), and the Specifi-
cations of the Institute of German Electrical Engi-
neers (VDE).
The refrigeration circuit has been checked for
leakage.
This appliance complies with the following EC
Directives:
- 73/23/EEC of 19.02.1973 - Low-Voltage Directive
- 89/336/EEC of 03.05.1989 (including Amendment
Directive 92/31/EEC) - EMC (Electromagnetic
Compatibily) Directive.
Before starting up, we recommend you to read th
following Operating Instructions, since only by doing
so can you benefit from all the advantages offered by
your refrigerator. These Operating Instruction are
intended for several technically comparable models
with different equipment. Please only follow the
instructions corresponding to your appliance version.
Removing the adhesive tapes
The door is secured to the housing with adhesive
tapes. Remove any adhesive tape residues with a
suitable petroleum-based cleansing agent.
Choice of location
If possible, your refrigerator should be installed in a
dry, well-ventilated room.
Its installation in a damp room or the occurrence of
weather-dependent high air humidity may tempo-
rarily lead to precipitation of moisture (dew forma-
tion) on the outside of the freezer compartment.
Ambient temperature has an effect on the power
consumption of the unit. The appliance should
therefore:
– not stand in the direct sunshine, or close to a radia-
tor or cooker
– stand in a position where the ambient temperature
corresponds with the climate category for which
the appliance is designed.
You will find data on this on the rating plate, which is
in the interior of the appliance on the left hand side.
It will consist of one of the following:

If installation beside a heat source is unavoidable,
the following minimum distances at the sides are to
be complied with: To electric cookers 3 cm, to oil or
coal fired cookers 30 cm.
Install a heat protection panel between the two
appliances.
The appliance should be installed on a firm, hori-
zontal surface. Correct any floor irregularities by
twisting the adjustable feet in or out.
