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 designed for domestic use. It is suitable for cooling

bottles of wine. If the appliance is used for purposes for which it is

not intended or operated incorrectly, the manufacturer can accept no

liability for any damage.

• Alterations or changes to the refrigerator are not permitted for rea-

sons of safety.

• If the cooler should be used commercially or for other purposes than

cooling bottles of wine, please follow legal regulations applicable in

your area.

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.

• Make sure that the power plug is not squashed or damaged by the

back of the appliance. A damaged power plug may overheat and

cause a fire.

• If the power plug socket is loose, do not insert the power plug. There

is a risk of electric shock or fire.

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

6 818 36 92-01/4

• 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! Inform children

of the possible dangers and instruct them in the correct use of 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.

• Do not remove the power cord by pulling on its lead, particularly

when the appliance is being pulled out of its niche. Damage to the

cord may cause a short circuit, fire and/or electric shock.

• Do not place heavy articles or the appliance itself on the power cord.

There is a risk of a short circuit and fire.

• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a certified

service agent or qualified personnel.

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.

Environmental Information

Packaging material

The packaging materials are environmentally friendly and can be recy-

cled. The plastic components are identified by markings, e.g. >PE<,

>PS<, etc. Please dispose of the packaging materials in the appropriate

container at the community waste disposal facilities.

2 Old appliance

The symbol

W on the product or on its packaging indicates that this

product may not be treated as household waste. Instead it shall be

handed over to the applicable collection point for the recycling of elec-

trical and electronic equipment. By ensuring this product is disposed of

correctly, you will help prevent potential negative consequences for the

environment and human health, which could otherwise be caused by

inappropriate waste handling of this product. For more detailed infor-

mation about recycling of this product, please contact your local city

office, your household waste disposal service or the shop where you

purchased the product.

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 that playing children

lock themselves into the appliance (danger of suffocation!) or place

themselves into other life-endangering situations.

When disposing of your old appliance:

• 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, may not be damaged.

• Information concerning collection schedules or locations can be

obtained from the local disposal authorities or town hall.

8 818 36 92-01/4

Appliance Transport

Two people are required to transport the appliance. Two handles are

provided on the back of the appliance at the top to enable a better

hold. Before transporting, the plinth cover must be removed to prevent

damage.

0 1. Open the door. To remove the

plinth cover from the stops, tilt

wheels and the appliance can be easily pushed.

4. When the appliance is standing in the desired place, attach the plinth

cover.

Before Use

Packaging

0 1. Remove all adhesive tape and packaging from the interior of the appli-

ance.

Any remnants of adhesive can be removed with white spirit.

2. Remove the transport protection pieces and pull off the adhesive tape.

818 36 92-01/4 9

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.

Installation

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.

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.

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

Installation

10 818 36 92-01/4

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.

Electrical Connection

A properly installed socket outlet with earthing contact is required for

electrical connection. Electrical fuse protection must be of at least 10

ampere.

If the outlet socket is no longer accessible after installation of the

appliance, appropriate measures must be taken during electrical instal-

lation to assure that the appliance can be disconnected from the mains

(e.g. fuse, circuit breaker, non-operate current safety-switch or the like,

with a contact opening of at least 3 mm).

0 1. Before initial start-up, refer to the appliance rating plate to ascertain if

supply voltage and current values correspond with those of the mains

at the installation location.

e.g.: AC 220 ... 240 V 50 Hz or

220 ... 240 V~50 Hz

(i.e. 220 to 240 volts alternating current, 50 Hertz)

The rating plate is inside the appliance at the left.

818 36 92-01/4 11

Warning: To avoid potential danger, if the mains connection lead of

this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by our customer service

representative or a person with similar qualifications.

Warning: Under no circumstances should the appliance be connected

to electronic “power saving plugs” or to a.c.-d.c. converters which con-

vert direct current to 230 V alternating current (e.g., solar installations,

ship networks)

Mounting the door handle

To keep the amount of packaging down and to reduce the size for

transporting, the door handle is not mounted when the appliance is

delivered.

The handle is packed separately on the padding in front of the door, the

screws inside the appliance.

0 1. Fasten the handle to the door using the

screws supplied.

12 818 36 92-01/4

Changing over the Door Hinges

The door hinges can be changed if required to suit the location where

the appliance is installed.

Warning! Unplug from the mains, before reversing the door.

0 1. Open the door. To remove the

plinth cover from the stops, tilt

downwards slightly and then pull

forwards. Move the door bearing

cover on the plinth from the left

Buttons for Adjusting the Temperature

The temperature is adjusted using the „+“ (WARMER) and

„-“ (COLDER) buttons.

These buttons are connected to the temperature display.

• The temperature display is switched over from the display of the

ACTUAL temperature (Temperature display is illuminated) to the

display of the DESIRED temperature (Temperature display flashes) by

pressing one of the two buttons, „+“ (WARMER) or „-“ (COLDER).

• Each time one of the two buttons is pressed again the DESIRED tem-

perature is adjusted by 1 °C.

• If neither button is pressed, the temperature display automatically

switches back after a short period (approx. 5 sec.) to the display of

the ACTUAL temperature.

DESIRED temperature means:

The temperature that is required in the refrigerator, this can be

adjusted to the temperatures shown in the display. The DESIRED

temperature is indicated by flashing numbers.

ACTUAL temperature means:

The temperature display indicates the temperature that is currently

present in the refrigerator. The ACTUAL temperature is indicated with

illuminated numbers.

Temperature Display

The temperature display can indicate several pieces of

information.

• During normal operation, the temperature currently present in the

middle section of the refrigerator (ACTUAL temperature) is displayed.

• When the temperature is being adjusted a flashing display indicates

the fridge compartment temperature currently set (DESIRED temper-

ature).

• If there is a fault in the appliance the temperature display shows a

square or a letter.

16 818 36 92-01/4

Interior lighting

Using this button the interior light can be switched on when

the door is closed. This means the contents of the wine

cooler can be checked over without having to open the door.

The interior light automatically switches itself off after

5 minutes. To expose the wine to the light as little as possible, the

interior light should only remain on for a short time.

ALARM OFF button

With the ALARM OFF button, the acoustic warning signal can

be switched off, e.g. the "Open Door" warning when sorting

in or out, the commodities to be chilled.

Prior to Initial Start-Up

Before connecting the appliance to the mains and putting it into ope-

ration for the first time, leave the appliance to stand for 30 minutes if

was transported upright. After transport on its side, the appliance must

be left to stand for 4 hours before putting it into operation. This is

necessary to allow the oil to flow back into the compressor. Otherwise

the compressor may be damaged.

0 1. Please clean the appliance interior and all accessories prior to initial

start-up (see section: "Maintenance and Cleaning").

2. The appliance must be correctly installed in accordance with the chap-

ter "Installation" before it is put into operation for the first time. Care

should be especially taken that the mains voltage and frequency avail-

able correspond with the appliance’s rating plate.

Initial Start-Up

0 1. Insert plug into mains socket.

2. Press ON/OFF button.

The compressor starts and then runs automatically.

3. Set the temperature (see section: "Temperature Adjustment").

818 36 92-01/4 17

Temperature Adjustment

With the „+“ (WARMER) or „-“ (COLDER) buttons for temperature

adjustment the desired temperatures in the refrigerator can be

adjusted.

0 1. Press either the „+“ (WARMER) or „-“ (COLDER) button.

The temperature display switches over and the DESIRED temperature

currently set flashes on the temperature display.

2. To adjust to a warmer temperature, press the „+“ (WARMER) button. To

adjust to a colder temperature, press the „-“ (COLDER) button. The

changed setting is immediately displayed on the temperature display.

Each time the button is pressed the temperature is adjusted by 1 °C.

Adjustable temperature range: +6 °C to +17 °C.

When the buttons are not further pressed after an adjustment has been

made, after a short period (approx. 5 sec.) the temperature display swit-

ches over and again displays the ACTUAL temperature in the refrigera-

tor. The display changes from flashing to illuminated numbers.

The compressor will start and then run automatically.

Information! When the setting is changed, the compressor does not

start immediately if automatic defrosting is currently taking place.

"Open Door"-Warning

If the door is left open for longer than 5 minutes the red warning dis-

play will flash and an acoustic warning tone will sound.

If you need more time for loading or rearrangement, you can switch off

the warning tone by pressing the ALARM OFF button.

The red warning display will go off when the door is closed.

18 818 36 92-01/4

Switching the Appliance off

0 1. To switch off, press the ON/OFF button for approx. one second. The

fridge will switch off. The temperature display will go off.

The appliance is only completely disconnected from the electricity

supply when the power plug has been removed from the power outlet.

Note:

The appliance cannot be switched on or off if unplugged, or if there is

no power being supplied to it.

Following connection to the mains power supply, the appliance returns

to the same operating state as before the interruption of main power.

If the appliance is to be removed from service for a lengthy period:

0 1. Switch off the appliance, to do this press the ON/OFF button for

approx. one second.

2. Remove the mains plug or switch off.

3. Clean the appliance thoroughly (see section: "Maintenance and Clean-

ing").

4. Leave door open to avoid accumulation of odours.

2 Energy Saving Tips

• Do not install the appliance near cookers, radiators or other sources

of warmth. High ambient temperatures cause longer, more frequent

operation of the compressor.

• Ensure sufficient air circulation and exhaust 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.

• Only leave door open as long as necessary.

• Do not set temperature any colder than necessary.

• Always keep the condenser at the back of the appliance clean.

818 36 92-01/4 19

Storage in the wine cooler

The temperature in the middle section of

the refrigerater is displayed by the

temperature indicator. The temperatures

in the top section are a little warmer, in

the bottom section a little colder. The

temperature differences in the top and

the bottom may be approx. 1 - 3 °C.,

depending on how many bottles are

stored in the fridge section, in which

places and how they are distributed. The

wines should be distributed on the

shelves according to their optimum

storage temperatures: Red wines in the

top section, rosé wines in the middle,

white wines in the bottom section.

Wines that are being stored for a long

period should normally be stored in the

bottom section.

Recommended storage temperatures:

If need be, the shelves can be pulled out towards the front and inserted

into other levels.

To store opened bottles, the shelves can be inserted with the front in a

higher level. The angle created in this way prevents the bottles from

leaking.

Important! Do not bring bottles in contact with the back wall of the

appliance.

Take care when room temperature is low: the temperature in the wine

cooler can in the long term be no higher than the room temperature in

the place in which it is installed.

Type of wine Storage temperature

Red wine +15 to +17 °C

Light red wine +13 to +15 °C

Rosé wine +10 to +12 °C

White wine +8 to +10 °C

Champagne, sparkling wine +6 to +8 °C

20 818 36 92-01/4

Storage tips:

• Store bottles horizontally so that the corks do not dry out.

• Store wine in the dark.

• Do not shake bottles. The location in which the wine cooler is

installed should be as vibration-free as possible,

• Ensure constant temperatures in the refrigerator.

• Follow the optimum storage temperature and storage periods for the

various types of wine.

Storage times for some wines:

Opening the Door

If the door is closed when the appliance is in operation, it cannot be

immediately opened again, because a vacuum occurs which holds the

door closed until pressure has been equalised. The door can be opened

again after several minutes.

Defrosting

The Refrigerator is defrosted automatically

The electronics start the defrosting cycle in the refrigerator every time

the compressor stops.

The water collects in the discharge trough at the back wall of the

refrigerator, and is fed through the discharge opening in the catch tray

at the compressor where it is evaporated.

Wine Type of wine Storage time

Beaujolais Red wine 1 - 3 years

Bordeaux Supérieur Red wine 1 - 5 years

Pinot noir Red wine 2 - 8 years

Petit Chablis White wine 1 - 3 years

Dry Riesling White wine 1 - 8 years

Sweet Riesling White wine 5 - 50 years
