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.
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    
						

							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.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.  FIRST USE4.1  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.5.  DAILY USEWARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.5.1  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.5.2  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.www.aeg.com6       
						

							6. HINTS AND TIPS6.1  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.6.2  Hints for energy saving
• Do not open the door frequently or
leave it open longer than absolutelynecessary.
6.3  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 it6.4  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.
• Bottles: close with a cap and place on the door bottle shelf, or (if available)
on the bottle rack.

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.7.2  Periodic cleaningCAUTION!
Do not pull, move or damage any pipes and/or
cables inside the cabinet.CAUTION!

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.
7.3  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 (F) situated
under the salad drawers to prevent the
water overflowing and dripping onto the
food inside. Use the special cleaner provided (P), which you will find already
inserted into the drain hole.
7.4  Cleaning the air channels
1. Remove the plinth (A), then the
ventilation grid (B).
2. Clean the ventilation grid. (Refer to
"Cleaning the ventilation filter ". )
3. Carefully pull the air deflector out (C),
checking that there is no water left from the defrosting.
4. Clean the lower part of the appliance
with a vacuum cleaner.
7.5  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. Clean the appliance and all
accessories.
4. Leave the door/doors open to
prevent unpleasant smells.

tray.The temperature in the ap-
pliance is too low/too high.The temperature regulator is
not set correctly.Set a higher/lower tempera-
ture.The door is not closed cor-
rectly.Refer to "Closing the door".The food products' tempera-
ture is too high.Let the food products tem-
perature decrease to room
temperature before storage.Many food products are
stored at the same time.Store less food products at
the same time.The door has been opened
