4. FIRST USE

4.1 Cleaning the interior

Before using the appliance for the first

time, the interior and all internal

accessories should be washed with

lukewarm water and some neutral soap

to remove the typical smell of a brand-

new product, then dried thoroughly.

CAUTION!

Do not use detergents,

abrasive powders, chlorine

or oil-based cleaners as they

will damage the finish.

5. DAILY USE

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

5.1 Movable shelves

The walls of the refrigerator are equipped

with a series of runners so that the

shelves can be positioned as desired.

Do not move the glass shelf

above the vegetable drawer

to ensure correct air

circulation.

5.2 Using a foldable shelf

This appliance is equipped with a shelf

consisting of two parts. The front half of

the shelf can be placed under the second

half to make better use of space.

To fold the shelf:

1. Take out the front half gently.

2. Slide it onto the lower rail and under

the second half.

5.3 Positioning the door

shelves

To permit storage of food packages of

various sizes, the door shelves can be

placed at different heights.

1. Gradually pull the shelf in the

direction of the arrows until it comes

free.

2. Reposition as required.

www.electrolux.com8

5.4 Humidity control

The glass shelf incorporates a device

with slits (adjustable by means of a

sliding lever), which makes it possible to

regulate the humidity in the vegetable

drawer(s).

When the ventilation slots are closed:

the natural moisture content of the food

in the fruit and vegetable compartments

is preserved for longer.

When the ventilation slots are opened:

more air circulation results in a lower air

moisture content in the fruit and

vegetable compartments.

5.5 Freezing fresh food

The freezer compartment is suitable for

freezing fresh food and storing frozen

and deep-frozen food for a long time.

To freeze fresh food activate the

FastFreeze function and place the food

to be frozen in the freezer compartment.

The maximum amount of food that can

be frozen in 24 hours is specified on the

rating plate, a label located on the

inside of the appliance.

The freezing process lasts 24 hours:

during this period do not add other food

to be frozen.

When the freezing process is completed,

return to the required temperature (see

"FastFreeze Function").

In this condition, the

refrigerator compartment

temperature might drop

below 0°C. If this occurs

reset the temperature

regulator to a warmer

setting.

5.6 Thawing

Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to

being used, can be thawed in the

refrigerator compartment or at room

temperature, depending on the time

available for this operation.

Small pieces may even be cooked still

frozen, directly from the freezer: in this

case, cooking will take longer.

5.7 Ice-cube production

This appliance is equipped with one or

more trays for the production of ice-

cubes.

Do not use metallic

instruments to remove the

trays from the freezer.

1. Fill these trays with water

2. Put the ice trays in the freezer

compartment.

6. HINTS AND TIPS

6.1 Normal operating sounds

The following sounds are normal during

operation:

• A faint gurgling and bubbling sound

from coils sound when refrigerant is

pumped.

• A whirring and pulsating sound from

the compressor when refrigerant is

pumped.

• A sudden cracking noise from inside

appliance caused by thermic dilatation

(a natural and not dangerous physical

phenomenon).

• A faint click noise from the

temperature regulator when the

compressor switches on or off.

ENGLISH 9

6.2 Hints for energy saving

• Do not open the door frequently or

leave it open longer than absolutely

necessary.

• If the ambient temperature is high and

the Temperature Regulator is set to

low temperature and the appliance is

fully loaded, the compressor may run

continuously, causing frost or ice on

the evaporator. If this happens, set

the Temperature Regulator toward

warmer settings to allow automatic

defrosting and so a saving in

electricity consumption.

6.3 Hints for fresh food

refrigeration

To obtain the best performance:

• do not store warm food or evaporating

liquids in the refrigerator

• do cover or wrap the food, particularly

if it has a strong flavour

• position food so that air can circulate

freely around it

6.4 Hints for refrigeration

Useful hints:

• Meat (all types): wrap in a suitable

packaging and place it on the glass

shelf above the vegetable drawer.

Store meat for at most 1-2 days.

• Cooked foods, cold dishes: cover and

place on any shelf.

• Fruit and vegetables: clean thoroughly

and place in a special drawer.

Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic

must not be kept in the refrigerator if

not packed.

• Butter and cheese: place in a special

airtight container or wrap in an

aluminium foil or a polythene bag to

exclude as much air as possible.

• Bottles: close with a cap and place on

the door bottle shelf, or (if available)

on the bottle rack.

6.5 Hints for freezing

To help you make the most of the

freezing process, here are some

important hints:

• the maximum quantity of food which

can be frozen in 24 hours is shown on

the rating plate;

• the freezing process takes 24 hours

no further food to be frozen should be

added during this period;

• freeze only top quality, fresh and

thoroughly cleaned, foodstuffs;

• prepare food in small portions to

enable it to be rapidly and completely

frozen and to make it possible

subsequently to thaw only the quantity

required;

• wrap up the food in aluminium foil or

polythene and make sure that the

packages are airtight;

• do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to

touch food which is already frozen,

thus avoiding a rise in temperature of

the latter;

• lean foods store better and longer

than fatty ones; salt reduces the

storage life of food;

• water ices, if consumed immediately

after removal from the freezer

compartment, can possibly cause the

skin to be freeze burnt;

• it is advisable to show the freezing in

date on each individual pack to

enable you to keep tab of the storage

time.

6.6 Hints for storage of frozen

food

To obtain the best performance from this

appliance, you should:

• make sure that the commercially

frozen foodstuffs were adequately

stored by the retailer;

• be sure that frozen foodstuffs are

transferred from the foodstore to the

freezer in the shortest possible time;

• not open the door frequently or leave

it open longer than absolutely

necessary;

• once defrosted, food deteriorates

rapidly and cannot be refrozen;

• do not exceed the storage period

indicated by the food manufacturer.
