Frequently Asked Questions - SU 960436 AEG-ELECTROLUX

How to reverse the door opening direction of the refrigerator?

To reverse the door, remove the lower grille by cutting the appropriate side (A for left opening, B for right). Then follow the door reversibility instructions provided in the manual. After modification, check that the magnetic gasket adheres perfectly to the body.

How to adjust the height of the refrigerator?

The appliance is equipped with 4 adjustable feet. To set the desired height (up to 870 mm maximum), adjust the 4 feet by turning them. The minimum height is 820 mm.

How to install the refrigerator under a worktop?

Installation requires a niche of height 820 to 890 mm. Attach the supplied brackets to the appliance, then position it ensuring the wall socket is outside the niche. Apply the seals (B) and screw the appliance. Then mount the cabinet door and the joint cover (A).

How to reverse the freezer compartment flap?

Use a small screwdriver to press the spring in the lower hinge and remove the hinge with the flap. Move the cover (M), turn the flap and replace it on the upper left hinge by engaging the lower hinge in the square hole. Positioning is facilitated by raising or lowering the flap.

What to do if the door gasket does not adhere properly?

If the ambient temperature is too low (in winter), the gasket may not adhere perfectly. To speed up its adjustment, heat the affected area with a hair dryer until it returns to its natural shape. Also check that the door is properly aligned.

What plinth height is required for my installation?

The plinth height depends on your niche height: if the niche is 820 mm, the plinth should be 100 mm; if the niche is 890 mm, the plinth should be 170 mm. For intermediate heights, cut the plinth to the appropriate height without covering the ventilation grille.

How to fix the plinth correctly?

The plinth must be fixed to the kitchen unit after being cut to the correct height. Ensure it does not cover the ventilation grille and is positioned at least 25 mm from the refrigerator door.

Where should the power socket be located for installation?

The wall socket must be located outside the built-in niche of the appliance. This allows easy access and avoids any risk of overheating or damage.

How to check proper gasket adhesion after reversibility?

After reversing the door, close it and check that the magnetic gasket adheres uniformly to the body. If not, adjust the door or slightly heat the gasket with a hair dryer to improve adhesion.

How to clean the refrigerator?

For cleaning, use a soft cloth dampened with soapy water. Avoid abrasive products or solvents. Clean the ventilation grille and door gasket regularly. Be sure to unplug the appliance before any deep cleaning.

USER MANUAL SU 960436 AEG-ELECTROLUX

When changing the side at which the door opens, remove plug from the mains.

Left door opening:

Remove the left side (A) of the grid cutting it from the rear (see figure)

Right door opening:

Remove the right side (B) of the grid cutting it from the rear (see figure)

Re-install the grid to the base of the appliance by pushing on to the clasps (a) until they click.

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.

To reverse the opening direction of the door, proceed as shown in the figures:

Warning!

After completion of the door reversing operation, check that the door gasket adheres to the cabinet. If the ambient temperature is cold (i.e. in Winter), the gasket may not fit perfectly to the cabinet. In that case, wait for the natural fitting of the gasket or accelerate this process by heating up the part involved with a normal hairdryer on a low setting.

Changing over the freezer compartment door (not on all models)

1. Open the freezer compartment door a little way.
2. Using a small screwdriver, press the spring in the opening of the lower door bearing slightly upwards and take the door bearing out complete with the door.

1. Position the covering cap (M) on the opposite side.
2. Turn the freezer compartment door through 180^ and fit the lower door bearing into the lower bearing cavity of the freezer compartment door.
3. Lift the freezer compartment door a little way upwards, fit it into the upper door bearing, and at the same time insert the lower door bearing into the square hole. Small upwards and downwards adjustments of the freezer compartment door will make fitting easier.

Building the appliance in under a worktop

Fitting the plinth

Important!

For the efficient operation of the appliance, it is important that the original ventilation grid is used.

• If the opening height dimension is A = 820 mm , the plinth height must be a = 100 mm .
  If the opening height dimension is B = 890 mm , the plinth height must be b = 170 mm .
• For intermediate heights cut the plinth to a requested height, but pay attention that it does not cover or exceeds the ventilation grid.
• Attach plinth to the kitchen units.

Important! The plinth must be positioned at a minimum distance of 25mm from the door.
