Energy Saving Tips
• Do not install the appliance near radiators or other sources of continuous
warmth. High ambient temperatures cause longer, more frequent opera-
tion of the compressor.
• Ensure sufficient air circulation at the appliance base and at the back wall
of the appliance. Never cover air vent openings.
• Do not place warm foods into the appliance. Allow warm foods to cool
first.
• Do not leave the door open any longer than necessary.
• Do not set temperature any colder than necessary.
• Put frozen food in the fridge to defrost. The cold in the frozen food will
then be used to cool the fridge.
Something Not Working
If the appliance is not functioning correctly, please carry out the following
checks before contacting your local AEG Service Force Centre.
Warning!
Repairs should only be carried out by qualified service engineers. Repairs
carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunc-
tioning.

ment being maintained at 6°C or under thus not calling the thermo-
stat to energise the compressor .
