IMPORTANT!

If the refrigerator you have purchased is replacing an older model, you should immediately render the older model unserviceable:

Pull out the mains plug, cut the connection lead, and dispose of the plug with the remainder of the lead in an environment-friendly manner.

If the older model is still fitted with a snap catch or lock, you should also render this lock unserviceable before throwing the appliance away or putting it out for environment-friendly refuse collection. In this way, you can prevent children locking themselves in when playing and thus endangering their lives.

Please make sure that the pipelines of your refrigerator are not damaged before collection for environment-friendly disposal.

Appliance packaging information

All used materials are environmentally compatible! They can be safely disposed of or burnt in a refuse incinerator!

Regarding the materials: The plastics can also be recycled and are marked as follows:

PE< for polyethylene e.g. as used in the outer wrapping and bags inside

PS< for polystyrene foam e.g. as used in the packing; this material is basically CFC-free

The cardboard parts are made of waste paper and should be put back into the waste paper collection system.

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) and the Accident Prevention Regulations for Refrigerating Installations (VBG 20).

The refrigeration circuit has been checked for leakage. The appliance is radio-interference suppressed in accordance with EC Directive 89/336/EC of 3.5.89 (including Amendment Directive 92/31/EC) on electromagnetic compatibility.

Before starting up your refrigerator, we recommend you to read the following Operating Instructions, since only by doing so can you benefit from all the advantages offered by your refrigerator.

These Operating Instructions are intended for several technically comparable models with different equipment. Please only follow the instructions corresponding to your appliance version.

Please unfold the illustration pages on the cover to enable you to compare the text and pictures alongside.

Removing the adhesive tapes and safety packing

To ensure safety during transport, the door is secured on the housing with adhesive tapes. Depending on model, plastic safety packing or a polystyrene foam insert is interposed between the appliance door and housing under the adhesive tape to ensure safety during transport.

You should remove this transport safety packing. Wipe off any possible adhesive tape residues with a petroleum-based cleanser or similar solvent.

Commercial use

Should you use your home refrigerator commercially or for purposes other than refrigeration, freezing, and deep frozen storage of food and drinks, you must observe the legal requirements applicable to your area.

Location

The most suitable location is a dry, well ventilated room.

The ambient temperature has an effect on the amount of current the refrigerating unit consumes. The appliance should therefore:

• not not be placed in the direct sunlight or next to a radiator or the oven, and
• stand in a place where the ambient temperature is in line with the climate category for which the appliance is designed.

You will find the relevant data on the rating plate located on the left inside the interior of the appliance.

The following are the possible climate categories:

Climate category	Ambient temperature from ... to ...
SN	+10 to +32 °C
N	+16 to +32 °C
ST	+18 to +38 °C
T	+18 to +43 °C.

If there is no avoiding a position next to a source of heat, the following are the minimum side-to-side distances that must be observed: electric ovens: 3 cm; oil or coal fired boilers: 30 cm. Otherwise it will be necessary to fit a heat-insulating panel. If this

appliance is to be positioned alongside another fridge or freezer, the distance between them must be at least 2 cm for technical reasons connected with ventilation and to avoid "sweating".

The appliance must stand on a firm, horizontal surface. Compensate for any unevenness in the floor by screwing the adjustable feet inwards or outwards.

Adjustable feet – working height 85/86 cm

Fig. 1

Your appliance is equipped as standard with four adjustable feet which you can twist in or out to correct any floor irregularities.

If your refrigerator is installed under a continuous worktop, all 4 adjustable feet must be screwed down to the low-lying position (A).

Special accessory: Adjustable feet – working height 90/91 cm

Fig. 2

If your refrigerator is intended for a working height of 90/91 cm, four 6 cm long adjustable feet (B) (E-No. 621 833 004) should be ordered and screwed in.

Rehingeing the door

Figs. 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7

Before connecting your appliance to the power supply, you should check whether the door hinge should be changed over from right (as delivered) to left if required by the installation site and operability.

Incline the appliance backwards.

To remove the door, unscrew the pivot (A) (Fig. 3).

Lift the door off the bearing and remove downwards.

Place the door aside and protect against damage. Keep pivot (A) in a safe place.

Fig. 4

Unscrew the screws on the plinth screen and remove the plinth screen. Then unscrew the screws of the lower door bearing. Change over the front feet and lower door bearing as illustrated. Screw in the screws into the door bearing. Change over the plinth screen and refit the plinth screen.

Unscrew the pivot (E) and insert above on the LH side (Fig. 5). Mount the door in the pivot above. Close the door and insert the pivot (A) below, fitting it with a washer (Fig. 6).

Place the appliance upright again.

Change over the door handle and fix (Fig. 7).

Plug the screwholes with hole seals.

Aligning the appliance door

Fig. 8

Remove the door (see "Rehingeing the door").

Remove the lower bearing bushing (F) from the door. Twist as necessary to adjust and refit.

When fitting the bearing bushing (A), raise the upper LH door edge. When fitting the bearing bushing (B), lower the upper LH door edge.

If the door is mounted on the left, proceed in the reverse sequence.

Refit the door.

Your refrigerator needs air

The refrigerating unit of your refrigerator is designed for maintenance-free operation. What it should never lack is good ventilation. Air is supplied under the door through the ventilation slot. Air is extracted through the upper ventilation grille. Never obstruct these openings by plinth screens or crockery.

If your refrigerator is built-in or surmounted by other units, good ventilation is also to be ensured.

The air outlet openings into the free space must each be at least 200 cm ^4 .

The minimum distance between the upper edge of your appliance and any surmounting furniture (e. g. wall unit) should be 10 cm.

Mounting under a continuous worktop

Figs. 9, 10 a/b, and 11

After removal of the storage panel, your appliance can be installed under a continuous worktop (Fig. 9).

For this purpose:

1. Open the door.
2. Unscrew the Phillips screws (A). Keep them in a safe place.
3. Lift the worktop slightly at the centre near the ventilation grille, slide forwards, and lift upwards.
4. Unscrew the panel holder (B).
5. Seal the drillholes with a moisture-resistant adhesive tape to prevent penetration of moisture.
   In the worktop at the rear, an air outlet opening of at least 200 cm² and a ventilation grille (A/B) matching the worktop design should be provided (Fig. 10a).

Please also use this ventilation grille even if the continuous worktop is already fitted with a ventilation grille with bracket (D) (Fig. 10b); otherwise, under certain circumstances, there may be no certainty that air can be expelled in sufficient quantities. To this end, remove the old ventilation grille including the bracket (D) from the worktop and then fasten the new ventilation grille in position.

Varnish the cut surfaces of the worktop (C) to prevent penetration of moisture (Fig. 10a).

Special accessories:

A = ventilation grille, brown (E-No. 621 814 002)

B = ventilation grille, white (E-No. 621 825 004)

(For UK only: ventilation grilles are not stocked by AEG as they are readily available from builders merchants or DIY shops.)

The appliance-wall distance must be at least 30 mm and should be checked before the ventilation grille is inserted.

Before inserting the appliance, screw down the adjustable feet to the low-lying position (A) (Fig. 1).

The refrigerator is fastened with 2 mounting screws (A) under the continuous worktop (Fig. 11). The front mounting screws of the removed worktop can be used for this purpose.

Changing the freezer compartment door

Figs. 12–15

With the door closed, press the pivot upwards with a screwdriver (Fig. 12).

Open the door ajar, lift below, and remove downwards (Fig. 13).

Change over and fix the lower bearing (A) (Fig. 14). Transfer the pivot (B) and clip (C) to the opposite side (Fig. 15).

The clip (C) can be readjusted of necessary.

Mount the freezer compartment door with the pivot above, press down, and press down the pivot with a screwdriver.

Decorating the appliance door

Figs. 16–18

The door front of your appliance can be visually matched to surrounding kitchen units with a decorative trim of up to max. 4 mm thickness using a decor frame retrofitting kit as a special accessory. Decorative trim dimensions (Fig. 16).

To establish the dimensions of the decor panel, re-check the dimensions of your appliance door to make doubly sure.

To fit, please proceed as follows (Fig. 17):

1. Remove the door (see "Rehingeing the door").
2. Unscrew the handle and hole seals of the screwholes.
3. Locate the frame strips (1), (2), (3), and (4).
4. Mark the hole pattern as per sketch (Fig. 18), arranging the hole pattern in the front part of the slot.
5. Drill the hole pattern with a 2.1 mm dia. drill.
6. Loosely arrange the lower frame strip (3) and side strips (2) and (4) with screws.
7. Slide in the decorative trim from above.
8. Stick double-sided adhesive tape (6) under the upper frame strip (1).
9. Fix the upper frame strip (1) with screws.
10. Press on the strips and handle and tighten the screws.
11. Insert the cover (7).
12. Refit the door (see "Rehingeing the door").

Important:

If an especially thin decorative trim is being fitted, please additionally fix the appliance door with double-sided adhesive tape. This will prevent the decor panel from sagging or warping.

Electrical connection

WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

Please ensure that the voltage and current indicated on the rating plate agree with the voltage of your electricity supply.

220/240 volts (i. e. 220/240 V AC).

If your appliance has been equipped with a mains lead with a moulded-on type plug, you must comply with the following regulations: The plug moulded on to the cord incorporates a fuse. For replacement, use a 13 amp BS 1362 fuse. Only ASTA approved or certified fuses should be used. The fuse cover/ carrier must be replaced in the event of changing the fuse. The plug must not be used if the fuse cover/ carrier is lost. A replacement cover/carrier must be obtained from an electrical goods retailer. If the socket outlets in your home are not suitable for the plug fitted to the appliance, then the plug must be cut off and an appropriate one fitted. When fitting the plug please note the following points:

Important

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Green and Yellow

Earth

Blue

Neutral

Brown

Live

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

1. The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the earth terminal in your plug, which is marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol 12 or coloured green, or green and yellow.
2. The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the live terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.
3. The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the neutral terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.

When wiring the plug, ensure that all strands of wire are securely retained in each terminal. Do not forget to tighten the mains lead clamp on the plug.

Warning! A cut-off plug inserted into a 13 amp socket is a serious safety (shock) hazard. Ensure that the cut-off plug is disposed of safely.

Voltage 220/240 V AC

Fuse rating 13 amps

See rating plate for further information.

The rating plate is inside, on the left.

If your appliance is installed under a continuous worktop, the plug socket should be provided as shown in Fig. 19.

Cleaning before using for the first time

Like all new appliances, your refrigerator will smell "new". For this reason, the interior of the refrigerator and all accessories should be cleaned before use (see also "Defrosting and cleaning").

Automatic refrigerator without star compartment Starting up and temperature regulation

Fig. 20a

Plug the connection lead into the plug socket.

The knob for temperature selection is located in the refrigerator compartment on the RH side.

Setting "0" means: Off.

Rotation in direction "1": Lighting on, refrigerating unit on, the latter then operating automatically.

Setting "1" means: highest refrigerating temperature, warmest setting.

Setting "7" means: lowest refrigerating temperature, coldest setting.

At a low ambient temperature of around 10–16 °C, you are recommended to use setting "1" to "2". At ambient temperatures of around 25 °C, you should select setting "3" to "4". If you want a lower temperature, choose setting "5", "6", or "7".

A high room temperature (25–32 °C) and colder setting of the temperature regulator (setting "6" or "7") may lead the refrigerating unit to operate continuously. If the refrigerating unit runs continuously, the evaporator behind the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment will no longer automatically defrost.

Reset the temperature regulator to a warmer setting ("3" or "4") to regulate the refrigerating unit and re-establish automatic defrosting.

The ambient temperature, loading, and frequent door opening affect the internal temperature. When the setting is changed, the refrigerating unit does not start immediately if defrosting is then in progress.

Automatic refrigerator with star compartment Starting up and temperature regulation

Fig. 20b

Plug the connection lead into the plug socket.

The knob for temperature selection is located in the refrigerator compartment on the RH side.

Setting "0" means: Off.

Rotation in direction "1": Lighting on, refrigerating unit on, the latter then operating automatically.

Setting "1" means:

highest temperature, warmest setting.

Setting *** (end-stop) means:

lowest refrigerating temperature, coldest setting.

The temperatures in the refrigerator compartment and freezer compartment cannot be separately regulated.

At a low ambient temperature of around 10–16 °C and without the freezer compartment being used, you are recommended to use setting "1". At ambient temperatures of around 25 °C, you should select setting "2". If you want a lower temperature, choose setting ***. When making this setting, you also make sure that fresh food is reliably frozen and that the storage temperature in the freezer compartment is -18 °C or below.

For fast freezing of fresh food, you should choose setting ***. Make sure that the temperature in the

refrigerator compartment does not drop below 0 °C, and reset the temperature regulator promptly. A high room temperature (25–32 °C) and colder setting of the temperature regulator (setting ⚗*) may lead the refrigerating unit to operate continuously. If the refrigerating unit runs continuously, the evaporator behind the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment will no longer automatically defrost. Reset the temperature regulator to a warmer setting to regulate the refrigerating unit and re-establish automatic defrosting.

The ambient temperature, loading, and frequent door opening affect the internal temperature. When the setting is changed, the refrigerating unit does not start immediately if defrosting is then in progress.

Correct storage

Figs. 21 and 22

① = Butter and cheese
② = Eggs, tubes, preserves
③ = Drinks
4 = Cheese, fruit
5 = Vegetables
6 = Meat, salami, cooked meats, dairy produce
⑦ = Ready meals, pastries, preserves
8 = Frozen food, ice-cream, ice-cubes

*** = The marking tells you that frozen food can be stored in this compartment for one month. The storage time depends on the type of food. See the manufacturer's directions on the pack.

Small amounts of fresh food, however, can also be frozen. See the section on "Freezing fresh food in the freezer compartment".

For safety reasons (such as the risk of an explosion!) containers containing inflammable liquids or gases, e.g. aerosol cans or cigarette lighter refills, must never be placed in the freezer or the refrigerator compartment.

Variable inner door

Depending on the height of the food stored, the door racks can be placed in other holders or removed.

Height-adjustable storage shelves/racks

Depending on model and equipment, glass or plastic storage shelves or storage racks are supplied.

Clamping lugs for plastic storage shelves

Before arranging the plastic storage shelves at the correct level, you should insert the clamping lugs supplied in the bag (as per assembly docket) in the 4 pockets provided on the underside of the storage shelves. The storage shelves will then be held gently and safely in position.

Inserting and adjusting the storage shelves/racks

Fig. 23a

One storage shelf must be placed in the lowest guides above the fruit and vegetable trays. It must always remain in this position.

To match the available storage space to your own individual needs, the other storage shelves or storage racks should be repeatedly adjusted depending on the height of the food stored. To do this, pull the storage shelf/ rack slightly forwards until it can be swivelled upwards or downwards and removed. To insert at another level, please proceed in the reverse sequence.

The storage racks can be inclined for storage of opened bottles. To do this, pull the rack around half-way out of the guides, swivel it upwards slightly, and insert it one level higher with the front brackets.

Make sure that the brackets always point up on the back of the storage racks so that the food stored does not rest against the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment.

Adjusting the VARIO glass storage shelves or VARIO storage racks

Fig. 23b

If you want to store bottles, cans, or jars in the upright position, please move the front half of the VARIO glass shelf to a different level. On appliances without a freezer compartment, you can also "park" the front half of the storage shelf on the appropriate guides above the temperature regulator. When moving storage racks, slide the front half under the rear half.

You will thus gain the necessary space to store tall items on the shelf below.

VARIO tray set

Your refrigerator is equipped with two differently sized vegetable trays. Some models are also sup-

plied with half-trays. The half-trays can be individually or vertically stacked or used as a closed box. One half-tray can also be inserted in the RH vegetable tray. This gives you the further option of e.g. storing fruit and vegetables separately from each other.

Making ice-cubes

Fill the ice-tray three-quarters full with water, place it in the freezer compartment, and allow it to freeze.

The ice-cubes can be loosened from the tray by twisting or by briefly holding the ice-tray under running water.

If the ice-tray sticks to the freezer compartment floor, never use sharp or pointed objects to loosen it, or you may risk damaging the refrigerating circuit.

Freezing fresh food in the freezer compartment

You can freeze fresh food yourself. To achieve the best results, please observe the following instructions:

Never freeze too much food all at once. Up to max. 1.5 kg in 24 hours is appropriate. You will achieve better quality if the food is quickly frozen through to the core.

Make sure that frozen food remains separated from that not yet frozen (minimum distance of 4 cm), or it could start to defrost.

Firmly close the freezer compartment door.

The do's and don'ts of storing frozen food

When storing food that is already frozen, make sure you note the storage time indicated by the manufacturer. You should only store packed food in the freezer compartment, since the low-temperature conditions will otherwise cause it to dry out. Do not store carbon dioxide-containing soft drinks, juices, beer, wine, etc. in the freezer compartment, since, when the contents freeze, the glass bottle may crack or even burst. Spirits and other alcoholic drinks containing a high percentage of alcohol, however, may be stored in the freezer compartment.

For reasons of safety (danger of explosion), no flammable gas containers, such as e.g. spray cans, cigarette lighter refill cartridges, etc., may be stored in either the freezer compartment or refrigerator compartment. Never touch the frozen food with wet hands, or your hands could freeze on.

Defrosting

Defrosting of the evaporator on the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment occurs automatically. The water evaporates automatically. The frost encrusting the freezer compartment can be removed from time to time with a plastic scraper – never with a knife or other sharp or pointed objects.

Should the refrigerator compartment evaporator no longer automatically defrost under specific appliance operating conditions, please read the instructions on continuous operation of the refrigerating unit in the section on "Starting up and temperature regulation".

The freezer compartment need not be defrosted very frequently. To do this, unplug the appliance (or otherwise disconnect it, e.g. by removing the fuse), and leave the door ajar.

During defrosting, wrap the frozen food in several layers of newspaper and store in a cool place.

You can accelerate the defrosting process by placing a bowl of hot water in the appliance and keeping the door closed.

For reasons of safety, never use any additional heat sources – radialor, heating appliances, or other aids – for defrosting.

When the layer of frost has melted, wipe the surfaces well dry.

Cleaning and care

During cleaning, a refrigerator must basically not be connected to the mains supply (pull out the mains plug or remove the fuse).

For reasons of safety, the refrigerator should basically not be cleaned with steam cleaning appliances. Moisture could find its way into the electrical components, and hot steam could damage the plastic parts.

Make sure that the drain opening of the gutter is always free. The gutter is located on the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment. If the water drain opening becomes choked, it should be cleaned with a wire.

Some organic solvents as well as essential oils (e.g. juice from lemon and orange peel, butyric acid), attack the plastic parts.

Do not forget that, even in a refrigerator, food stored too long may spoil. To prevent any odours from forming, the contents should therefore be checked from time to time (including accessories) and

thoroughly cleaned with lukewarm water to which a mild, non-abrasive cleaning agent containing no acetic acid can be added. Finally, wash with clean water and wipe dry. After cleaning the refrigerator compartment, promptly reconnect the appliance to the power supply (see the section on Starting up).

When not in use

If your refrigerator is to remain unused for any length of time, it must be disconnected (unplugged) from the electricity supply. The refrigerated and frozen food as well as the ice-trays should then be taken out, the refrigerator compartment thoroughly cleaned, and the appliance doors left ajar to prevent any odours from forming.

Faults and servicing

In order to keep your appliance in perfectly safe condition, you should arrange for repairs, particularly to the "live" parts, to be carried out only by qualified electricians.

In the event of a break-down you should therefore contact your electrical dealer or our Customer Service Centre.

Before calling the Service Centre, please check whether there is power in the mains socket (e.g. by plugging a lamp in). Your local electrician will repair any defects in the mains supply.

If the defect lies in the appliance, please inform the nearest Service Centre. In order to avoid unnecessary travel or expense, please state:

• Model description
• E-number
• F-number of your appliance.

You will find these data on the rating plate on the left inside your appliance. We recommend that you enter them here:

• Model description ....
• E-number ....
• F-number ....

Please note: We have to make a charge if our Customer Service technician is called in for no adequate reason, even if the guarantee has not yet expired.

Minor repairs that you can carry out yourself

- Interior lighting

If the bulb is defective, you can easily replace this yourself. For this purpose, unplug the appliance from the mains. The bulb is freely accessible from the rear in the lamp housing.

Only replace with a 15 watt bulb.

- Spare parts

Spare parts can be ordered from the service centre. You can fit these yourself without any special skill or training, eg.:

• Butter/cheese compartment
• Eggholders
• Fruit and vegetable drawers
• Storage racks
• Door handles.

- Storage compartments and bottle holders in the door

Hints on correct use

Store your food, depending on what kind and how easily damaged it is, in the appropriate refrigerating zones. This will enable you to achieve an optimum storage time (see Figs. 10 and 11, "Correct storage"). Wrap the food up or cover it very well to retain aroma, colour, moisture, and freshness.

Clean the refrigerator compartment regularly to ensure hygienic storage of food and to prevent undesirable odours from forming.

Note the storage duration of deep-frozen food in the freezer compartment to avoid quality impairment.

Never place hot food in the refrigerator compartment or freezer compartment for cooling.

Hints on energy saving

One or two additional hints on energy saving are given below:

• Do not install your fridge-freezer next to a radiator, oven, or in direct sunlight, since, through high ambient temperature, the temperature regulator switches on the refrigerating unit more frequently and for longer.
• Never place any hot food in the refrigerator compartment or freezer compartment – first allow the food to cool to room temperature.
• Do not open the doors unnecessarily and close them again as quickly as possible.
• Set the most energy-saving storage temperature for both refrigerated and frozen food (see "Starting up and temperature regulation").
• Ensure good ventilation.
