1 Important Safety Instructions
The safety aspects of our refrigerators comply with accepted technical 
standards and the German Appliance Safety Law. Nevertheless, we con-
sider it our obligation to make you aware of the following safety infor-
mation:
Intended use
 The refrigerator is intended for use in the home. It is suitable for the 
storing of food at low temperature. If the appliance is used for pur-
poses other than those intended or used incorrectly, no liability can 
be accepted by the manufacturer for any damage that may be 
caused.
 Alterations or changes to the refrigerator are not permitted for rea-
sons of safety.
 If you use the refrigerator in a commercial application or for pur-
poses other than the cooling of foods, please observe all valid legal 
regulations for your application.
Prior to initial start–up
 Check the refrigerator for transport damage. Under no circumstance 
should a damaged appliance be plugged in! In the event of damage, 
please contact your retailer.
Refrigerant
The refrigerant isobutane (R600a) is contained within the refrigerant 
circuit of the appliance, a natural gas with a high level of environmen-
tal compatibility, which is nevertheless flammable.
Warning - During transportation and installation of the appliance, 
be certain that none of the components of the refrigerant circuit 
become damaged.
 If the refrigerant circuit should become damaged:
– avoid open flames and sources of ignition;
– thoroughly ventilate the room in which the appliance is situated.
Safety of children
 Packaging (e.g. wraps, polystyrene) can be dangerous for children. 
There is a risk of suffocation! Keep packaging material away from 
children!
 
						

							Important Safety Instructions
6818 35 64-01/5
 Please make old appliances unusable prior to disposal. Pull out the 
mains plug, cut off the mains cable, break or remove spring or bolt 
catches, if fitted. By doing this you ensure that children cannot lock 
themselves in the fridge when playing (there is risk of suffocation!) or 
get themselves into other dangerous situations.
 Often children cannot recognise the hazards present in household 
appliances. It is therefore important that you ensure adequate super-
vision and never let children play with the appliance!
Daily Operation
 Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at low tempera-
tures. There is a risk of an explosion! Do not store any containers with 
flammable materials such as, for example, spray cans, fire extin-
guisher refill cartridges etc in the refrigerator.
Warning - Do not operate any electrical appliances in the refrigera-
tor (e.g. electric ice cream makers, mixers etc.) unless they have been 
authorised by the manufacturer. 
Warning - In order not to impair the function of the appliance, never 
cover or obstruct the ventilation openings.
Warning - Do not use any mechanical devices or other artificial 
means to speed up defrosting unless they are recommended by the 
manufacturer.
 Before cleaning the appliance, always switch off the appliance and 
unplug it, or pull the house fuse or switch off the circuit breaker.
 When unplugging always pull the plug from the mains socket, do not 
pull on the cable.
In case of malfunction
 If the a malfunction occurs on the appliance, please look first in the 
What to do if ... section of these instructions. If the information 
given there does not help, please do not perform any further repairs 
yourself.
 Refrigerators may only be repaired by qualified service engineers. 
Improper repairs can give rise to significant hazards. If your appliance 
needs repairing, please contact your local AEG Service Force Centre.

2 Environmental Information
2
Packaging material
The packaging materials are environmentally friendly and can be recy-
cled. The plastic components are identified by markings, e.g. >PEPS
						

							8818 35 64-01/5
Appliance Transport
Two persons are required for transport of the appliance. There are two 
recessed handles at the front of the base and at the back of the 
appliance at the top for improved gripping.
0 1.Grip the appliance with the recessed handles positioned as in the draw-
ing, and transport the appliance.
2.In order to push the appliance into its final position, press carefully at 
the top of the door and tip the appliance back slightly. The weight is 
thus transferred to the back wheels and the appliance can be easily 
pushed. 
Before Use 
Packaging 
0 1.Remove all adhesive tape and packaging  from the interior of the appli-
ance.
3 Any remnants of adhesive can be removed with white spirit.
2.Remove the transport protection pieces and pull off the adhesive tape.
 
						

							818 35 64-01/59
3.Wash the inside of the appliance with lukewarm water with a little 
bicarbonate of soda added (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water). Do not use soap 
or detergent as the smell may linger. Dry the appliance thoroughly.
Remove the transport fittings from 
the storage shelves:
4.Slide the fittings securing the shelf 
forward to the thicker section on 
the edge of the storage shelf.
5.Slide the storage shelf far enough 
forward so that it can be hinged 
downwards and the fittings can be 
removed from the guides.
Installation
The position of the freezer part and the fridge part in the combination 
fridge-freezer can be decided by the customer. However the final 
assembly of the appliance or a later change in the position of the 
freezer and fridge must be carried out by the AEG Customer Care 
Department. 
Installation Location
The appliance should be installed in a well ventilated, dry room.
Energy use and efficient performance of the appliance is affected by 
the ambient temperature.
The appliance should therefore
– not be exposed to direct sunlight;
– not be installed next to radiators, cookers or other sources of heat;
– only be installed at a location whose ambient temperature 
corresponds to the climate classification, for which the appliance is 
designed.
The climate classification can be found on the rating plate, which is 
located at the left on the inside of the appliance.
 
						

							Installation
10818 35 64-01/5
The following table shows which ambient temperature is correct for 
each climate classification:
If installation next to a source of heat is unavoidable, the following 
minimum clearances must be maintained at the sides of the appliance:
– for electric cookers 3 cm;
– for oil and coal fired ranges 30 cm.
If these clearances cannot be maintained a heat insulating pad is 
required between the cooker and the refrigeration appliance.
The Refrigerator needs Ventilation
Air is fed under the door through the vent 
slots in the base and is exhausted upwards 
along the back wall. To ensure proper air 
circulation never cover or alter the vent 
openings.
Important!  If the appliance is installed 
under a hanging cabinet, a clearance of at 
least 10 cm between the top of the 
appliance and the cabinet above it must 
be maintained.
Please check whether, after installing 
your appliance and especially after 
rehingeing the door, the door seal seals right round. An untight door 
seal may lead to heavy frosting and a higher power consumption (see 
also Something not working“).
Appliance Alignment
0 1.The appliance level please compensate for unevenness in the floor by 
turning the two adjustable feet at the front.
