3.  OPERATION3.1 
Switching on
1. Insert the plug into the wall socket.
2. Turn the Temperature regulator
clockwise to a medium setting.3.2  Switching off
To turn off the appliance, turn the
temperature regulator to the "O"
position.
3.3  Temperature regulation
The temperature is regulated
automatically.
1. Turn the Temperature regulator
toward lower settings to obtain the minimum coldness.
2. Turn the Temperature regulator
toward higher settings to obtain the
maximum coldness.A medium setting is
generally the most suitable.
However, the exact setting
should be chosen keeping in
mind that the temperature
inside the appliance
depends on:
• room temperature,
• how often the door is opened,
• the quantity of food stored,
• the location of the appliance.ENGLISH5    
						

							CAUTION!
If the ambient temperature
is high or the appliance is
fully loaded, and the
appliance is set to the lowest
temperatures, it may run
continuously causing frost to
form on the rear wall. In this
case the dial must be set to
a higher temperature to
allow automatic defrosting
and therefore reduced
energy consumption.4.  DAILY USEWARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.4.1  Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period
out of use, before putting the products
in the compartment let the appliance run
at least 2 hours on the higher settings.
In the event of accidental
defrosting, for example due
to a power failure, if the
power has been off for
longer than the value shown
in the technical
characteristics chart under
"rising time", the defrosted
food must be consumed
quickly or cooked
immediately and then re-
frozen (after cooling).4.2  Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to
being used, can be thawed in the
refrigerator compartment or at room
temperature, depending on the time
available for this operation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still
frozen, directly from the freezer: in this
case, cooking will take longer.
4.3  Positioning the door
shelves
To permit storage of food packages of
various sizes, the door shelves can be
placed at different heights.
1. Gradually pull the shelf in the
direction of the arrows until it comes
free.
2. Reposition as required. 
This model is equipped with a
variable storage box which can be
moved sideways.
www.aeg.com6     
						

							4.4 Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are
equipped with a series of runners so that
the shelves can be positioned as desired.Do not move the glass shelf
above the vegetable drawer
to ensure correct air
circulation.4.5  Ice-cube production
This appliance is equipped with one or more trays for the production of ice-
cubes.Do not use metallic
instruments to remove the
trays from the freezer.
1. Fill these trays with water
2. Put the ice trays in the freezer
compartment.
5.  HINTS AND TIPS5.1  Normal operating sounds
The following sounds are normal during operation:
• A faint gurgling and bubbling sound from coils sound when refrigerant is
pumped.
• A whirring and pulsating sound from the compressor when refrigerant ispumped.
• A sudden cracking noise from inside appliance caused by thermic
dilatation (a natural and not
dangerous physical phenomenon).
• A faint click noise from the temperature regulator when the
compressor switches on or off.5.2  Hints for energy saving
• Do not open the door frequently or
leave it open longer than absolutelynecessary.
• If the ambient temperature is high and the Temperature Regulator is setto low temperature and the appliance
is fully loaded, the compressor may run continuously, causing frost or ice
on the evaporator. If this happens, setthe Temperature Regulator toward
warmer settings to allow automatic
defrosting and so a saving in
electricity consumption.5.3  Hints for fresh food
refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
• do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator
• do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour
• position food so that air can circulate freely around it
5.4  Hints for refrigeration
Useful hints:
• Meat (all types): wrap in a suitable packaging and place it on the glass
shelf above the vegetable drawer. Store meat for at most 1-2 days.
• Cooked foods, cold dishes: cover and place on any shelf.
• Fruit and vegetables: clean thoroughly and place in a special
drawer. Bananas, potatoes, onions
and garlic must not be kept in the
refrigerator if not packed.
• Butter and cheese: place in a special airtight container or wrap in an
aluminium foil or a polythene bag to exclude as much air as possible.
ENGLISH7    
						

							• Bottles: close with a cap and place onthe door bottle shelf, or (if available)
on the bottle rack.5.5  Hints for freezing
To help you make the most of the
freezing process, here are some
important hints:
• the maximum quantity of food which can be frozen in 24 hours is shown onthe rating plate;
• the freezing process takes 24 hours no further food to be frozen should
be added during this period;
• freeze only top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned, foodstuffs;
• prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely
frozen and to make it possible
subsequently to thaw only the
quantity required;
• wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene and make sure that the
packages are airtight;
• do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to
touch food which is already frozen,
thus avoiding a rise in temperature of the latter;
• lean foods store better and longer than fatty ones; salt reduces the
storage life of food;
• water ices, if consumed immediately
after removal from the freezer
compartment, can possibly cause the
skin to be freeze burnt;
• it is advisable to show the freezing in date on each individual pack toenable you to keep tab of the storage
time.5.6  Hints for storage of frozen
food
To obtain the best performance from this
appliance, you should:
• make sure that the commercially frozen foodstuffs were adequatelystored by the retailer;
• be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the foodstore to the
freezer in the shortest possible time;
• not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely
necessary;
• once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and cannot be refrozen;
• do not exceed the storage period
indicated by the food manufacturer.
6.  CARE AND CLEANINGWARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.6.1  General warningsCAUTION!
Unplug the appliance before
carrying out any
maintenance operation.This appliance contains
hydrocarbons in its cooling
unit; maintenance and
recharging must therefore
only be carried out by
authorized technicians.The accessories and parts of
the appliance are not
suitable for washing in a
dishwasher.6.2  Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first
time, the interior and all internal
accessories should be washed with
lukewarm water and some neutral soap
to remove the typical smell of a brand- new product, then dried thoroughly.
CAUTION!
Do not use detergents,
abrasive powders, chlorine
or oil-based cleaners as they
will damage the finish.www.aeg.com8      
						

							6.3 Periodic cleaningCAUTION!
Do not pull, move or damage any pipes and/or
cables inside the cabinet.CAUTION!
Take care of not to damage
the cooling system.CAUTION!
When moving the cabinet,
lift it by the front edge to
avoid scratching the floor.
The equipment has to be cleaned
regularly:
1. Clean the inside and accessories with
lukewarm water and some neutral
soap.
2. Regularly check the door seals and
wipe clean to ensure they are clean
and free from debris.
3. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
4. If accessible, clean the condenser
and the compressor at the back of
the appliance with a brush.
This operation will improve the
performance of the appliance and save electricity consumption.
6.4  Defrosting of the
refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from the
evaporator of the refrigerator
compartment every time the motor compressor stops, during normal use.
The defrost water drains out through a trough into a special container at the
back of the appliance, over the motor
compressor, where it evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the
defrost water drain hole in the middle of the refrigerator compartment channel to
prevent the water overflowing and
dripping onto the food inside.
6.5  Defrosting the freezerCAUTION!
Never use sharp metal tools
to scrape off frost from the
evaporator as you could
damage it. Do not use a
mechanical device or any
artificial means to speed up
the thawing process other
than those recommended by
the manufacturer. A
temperature rise of the
frozen food packs, during
defrosting, may shorten their
safe storage life.About 12 hours prior to
defrosting, set a lower
temperature, in order to
build up sufficient chill
reserve for the interruption
in operation.
A certain amount of frost will always form
on the freezer shelves and around the
top compartment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer
reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.
1. Switch off the appliance, or pull out
electrical plug from the wall socket.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in
several layers of newspaper and put
it in a cool place. 
WARNING!
Do not touch frozen
goods with wet hands.
Hands can freeze to the
goods.
3. Leave the door open.
In order to speed up the defrosting process, place a pot of warm water in
ENGLISH9        
						

							the freezer compartment. In addition,
remove pieces of ice that break away before defrosting is complete.
4. When defrosting is completed, dry
the interior thoroughly.
5. Switch on the appliance.
After three hours reload the previously
removed food into the freezer
compartment.6.6  Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long
periods, take the following precautions:
1. Disconnect the appliance from
electricity supply.
2. Remove all food.
3. Defrost (if necessary) and clean the
appliance and all accessories.
4. Clean the appliance and all
accessories.
5. Leave the door/doors open to
prevent unpleasant smells.WARNING!
If you want to keep the
appliance switched on, ask
somebody to check it once
in a while to prevent the
food inside from spoiling in
case of a power failure.7.  TROUBLESHOOTINGWARNING!
