Safety

The safety of our freezers is in accordance with recognised technological

standards and appliance safety legislation. We nevertheless feel that it is

important to acquaint you with the following safety guidelines:

Use for Intended Purpose

The freezer is intended for household use only. It is suitable for freezing

and storage of frozen food. The manufacturer assumes no liability for

damages occurring through improper operation or use of the appliance

for unintended purposes.

Alterations or changes to the freezer are not permitted for reasons of

safety.

If you use the freezer in a commercial application or for purposes other

than the freezing or frozen storage of foods, the manufacturer accepts

no liability for any damages which may occur.

Prior to initial start-up

check the freezer for transport damage. Do not under any

circumstances connect a damaged appliance! Please contact your

supplier in the event of damage.

Refrigerant

The refrigerant isobutane (R600a) is contained within the refrigerant

circuit of the appliance, a natural gas with a high level of environmental

compatibility, which is nevertheless flammable.

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 for Children

Packaging materials (e.g. films, styrofoam) can be dangerous for

children. There is a danger of suffocation Keep packaging materials

away from children!

For appliances with lockable lids: Children playing could get locked in.

There is a danger of suffocation Keep the key out of the reach of

children and do not leave it near the appliance.

Before disposing of old appliances make them unusable. Remove plug

from mains, sever the power cable, remove or destroy any snap or latch

closures. This eliminates the danger of playing children locking

themselves into the appliance (danger of suffocation) or place

themselves into other life-endangering situations.

Children often do not recognise the dangers involved with household

appliances. Please provide for the necessary supervision and do not

allow children to play with the appliance!

Daily Operation

Containers with flammable gases or fluids can develop leaks through

contact with the cold, they may even explode. Do not store containers

with flammable substances, such as aerosol cans, refill cartridges for

cigarette lighters etc. in the freezer.

Bottles and cans may not be placed in the freezer compartment. They

can burst when the contents freeze - or even explode if the contents

contain carbonic acid Never place sodas, juices, beer, wine,

champagne etc. into the freezer compartment. Exception: Spirits with

high alcohol content may be stored in the freezer compartment.

Do not place ice cream or ice cubes directly from the freezer

compartment into the mouth. Very cold ice can freeze to the lips or

tongue and cause injury.

Never touch frozen goods with wet hands. Hands can freeze to the

goods.

Do not operate any electrical appliances in the freezer (e.g. electric ice

cream makers, mixers etc.).

Before cleaning the appliance always disconnect the appliance from

the electricity supply.

When unplugging always pull the plug from the mains socket, do not

pull on the cable.

In case of malfunction

If 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.

This product should be serviced by an authorised engineer and only

genuine spare parts should be used.

Under no circumstances 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 friendly. They can be dumped 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 eliminates the danger of playing children

locking themselves into 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 refrigerating circuit must not be damaged.

Information concerning collection schedules or locations can be

obtained from your local Council or Environmental Health Office.

Installation

Installation Location

The appliance should be set up in a well ventilated, dry room on a firm and

level surface.

Warning! The appliance may not be exposed to spray or water splashes.

There is a danger of electrical shock!

Energy use 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 is stipulated on the serial plate which can be

found on the inner side of the lid. 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

The freezer needs air.

The side walls become warm whilst the appliance is on. The heat is

generated by the special refrigerating system (shell condenser) and helps

prevent condensation and thus rust from forming on the side walls. In

order for the heat to be able to be dissipated, air must be able to circulate

around all the side walls.

Attention! To function correctly the appliance requires good ventilation.

Make sure that the side walls and the base of the appliance are not

covered or obstructed.

Electrical Connection

Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out

by a qualified electrician or competent person.

WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety mea-

sures not be observed.

Before switching on, make sure the electricity supply voltage is the same

as that indicated on the appliance rating plate. The rating plate is inside,

on the left.

The appliance is supplied with a 13 amp plug fitted. In the event of having

to change the fuse in the plug supplied, a 13 amp ASTA approved

(BS 1362) fuse must be used.

Important

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in

accordance with the following code:

Green and Yellow Earth

Blue Neutral

Brown Live

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of

this appliance may not correspond with the

coloured markings identifying the terminals in

your plug, proceed as follows:

1.The wire coloured green and yellow must be connected to the termi-nal

marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol or coloured green

and yellow.

2.The wire coloured blue must be connected to the terminal marked N

or coloured black.

3.The wire coloured brown must be connected to the terminal marked L

or coloured red.

4.Upon completion there must be no cut, or stray strands of wire present

and the cord clamp must be secure over the outer sheath.

Warning! A cut-off plug inserted into a 13 amp socket is a serious

safety (shock) hazard. Ensure that the cut-off plug is disposed of safety.

Appliance Description

Control Panel

1 temperature regulator

2 green mains operating light

3 fast freeze switch with amber light

4 red temperature warning light

5 Indicates that the appliance has an acoustic temperature alarm (not an

all models)

Starting up

FFPlease clean the appliance interior and all accessories prior to initial start-

up (see section: Cleaning and Care).

FFInsert the mains plug of your chest freezer into the mains supply. Your

appliance is then operational.

The green mains operating light (2) and red temperature warning

light (4) show, and the acoustic temperature warning (5) sounds.

The green mains operating light indicates operation and must

continuously show.

The red temperature warning light tells you that the storage temperature

has not yet been attained.

If you additionally operate the fast freeze switch (3), the amber pilot

light in the switch (3) illuminates, and the refrigerating unit operates in

continuous mode.

When the fast freeze switch is pressed, the acoustic temperature warnin

immediately stops.

If you switch off the fast freeze switch (3) when the red temperature

warning light (4) has gone out, the amber light goes out.

The red temperature warning light (4) and acoustic temperature

warning (5) give an alarm if:

the storage temperature has not yet been reached (starting up).

the minimum storage temperature is no longer being maintained (fault).

large quantities of fresh food have been placed inside.

the chest lid has been open for too long.

The red temperature warning light (4) and acoustic temperature

warning (5) give no warning:

if the power supply is interrupted;

if the thermostat is defective.

Important: Check regularly on the red temperature warning light and on

a thermometer placed inside whether the storage temperature is being

maintained.

Temperature regulation

The temperature inside the freezer is controlled by the thermostat control

knob situated on the control panel. To operate the freezer, proceed as

follows:

When you first start the freezer it is recommended that the thermostat

control knob is turned to a medium setting (3-4). The correct setting can

be found by measuring the temperature of the top middle package in the

freezer. The temperature must be 18°C

or colder.

1 = Lowest setting, minimum cold

7 = Highest setting, maximum cold.

Allow the freezer to run for several hours

before placing food inside.

Do not fill the freezer to higher than 5mm

below the lower edge of the plastic

frame.

A coin has to be used to turn the temperature control knob. This makes it

more difficult to inadvertently adjust the temperature (child protection).

Since the ambient temperature, type and quantity of stored frozen food,

and frequency and duration of lid opening affect the storage temperature

of -18 °C or colder, you should check the internal temperature on a

thermometer.

Set the temperature control knob so that the indicated temperature is

-18 °C or colder.

Important: If you operate the fast freeze switch or adjust the temperature

control knob, it may happen that the refrigerating unit of your chest freezer

does not start immediately. This is normal and not a fault with the

appliance.
