If the information given there does not help, please do not perform any further repairs yourself. • Under no circumstance should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunctioning. Contact your local AEG Service Force Centre. Disposal Appliance Packaging Information All materials are environmentally sound! They can be disposed of or burned at an incinerating plant without danger. About the materials: The plastics can be recycled and are identified as follows: >PE< for polyethylene, e.g. the outer covering and the bags in the interior. >PS< for polystyrene foam, e.g. the pads, which are all free of chlorofluorocarbon. The carton parts are made from recycled paper and should be disposed of at a waste-paper recycling collection location. Disposal of old Appliances For environmental reasons, refrigeration appliances must be disposed of properly. This applies to your old appliance, and - at the end of its service life - for your new appliance as well. Warning! Before disposing of old appliances make them inoperable. Remove plug from mains, sever the power cable, remove or destroy any snap or latch closures. This ensures that playing children do not lock themselves inside the appliance (danger of suffocation!) or place themselves into other life-endangering situations. Disposal: • The appliance may not be disposed of with domestic waste or bulky refuse. • The refrigerant circuit, especially the heat exchanger at the back of the appliance, must not be damaged. • Information concerning collection schedules or locations can be obtained from your local Council or Environmental Health Office. Remove transport packaging The appliance and the interior fittings are protected for transport. Pull off the adhesive tape on the left and right side of the door. + You can remove any remnants of adhesive using white spirit. Remove all adhesive tape and packing pieces from the interior of the + appliance. Installation Installation Location The appliance should be set up 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 serial plate, which is located at the left on the inside of the appliance. The following table shows which ambient temperature is correct for each climate classification: Climate classification for an ambient temperature of SN +10 to +32 °C N +16 to +32 °C ST +18 to +38 °C T +18 to +43 °C If the refrigeration appliance is installed next to another refrigerator or freezer a clearance of 5 cm at the sides is required, in order to prevent the formation of condensation on the outside of the appliance. Your freezer needs air For correct operation this appliance must be located in a dry atmosphere, away from heat sources, e.g. cookers, radiators, boilers and direct sunlight. You should also ensure that air can circulate freely around the back and the top of the cabinet. There should be 100mm (4”) between the top of the cabinet and any overhanging kitchen furniture. Alternatively allow 50mm (2”) between the top of the cabinet and any overhanging kitchen furniture and a gap of 25mm (1”) on either side of the appliance. Do not obstruct the space underneath. The back of the cabinet may be placed close to the wall but must not touch it. DO NOT install in places with restricted ventilation. Adjust the level of the appliance by screwing out the adjustable foot, or feet, at the bottom of the cabinet using your fingers. If your refrigerator is installed under a continuous worktop, an air outlet opening of at least 200 cm2 and a ventilation grille matching the work- top design should be installed at the rear of the worktop. The cut surfaces of the worktop should be varnished to avoid swelling due to penetration of moisture. 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. Warning! When changing the side at which the door opens, the appliance must not be connected to the mains. Remove plug from the mains beforehand. Tilt the appliance slightly towards the + rear and prop it securely. Unscrew the door hinge screws (K) + and remove the hinge pin bracket (1). Open the door a little way and take it + out downwards. 200 cm2 K 1 + . Unscrew the upper pin (A) and screw it into place on the opposite side. Fit the door into the upper pin (A) and close it. Screw the hinge pin bracket (1) securely into place on the opposite side using the screws (K). Unscrew the handle. Refit it on the opposite side after having pushed in the plugs with a punch.
