CONTROL PANEL

1Fridge temperature regulator

2Fridge OFF position

Switching on

Insert the plug into the wall socket.

Turn the Fridge Temperature regulator

clockwise to a medium setting.

Switching off the fridge

To turn off the Fridge, turn the Fridge tem-

perature regulator to the OFF position.

Temperature regulation

The temperature is automatically regulated.

To operate the appliance, proceed as fol-

lows:

• turn the Temperature regulator counter

clockwise to obtain warmer storage tem-

perature.

• turn the Temperature regulator clockwise

to obtain colder storage temperature.

A medium setting is generally the most

suitable.

The exact setting should be chosen keep-

ing in mind that the temperature inside the

appliance depends on:

• room temperature

• how often the door is opened

• the quantity of food stored

• the location of the appliance.

Important! If the ambient temperature is

high or the appliance is fully loaded, and the

appliance is set to the lowest temperatures,

it may run continuously causing frost to

form on the rear wall. In this case the

Temperature regulator must be set to a

higher temperature to allow automatic

defrosting and therefore reduced energy

consumption.

FIRST USE

Cleaning the interior

Before using the appliance for the first time,

wash the interior and all internal accesso-

ries with lukewarm water and some neutral

soap so as to remove the typical smell of a

brand-new product, then dry thoroughly.

Important! Do not use detergents or abra-

sive powders, as these will damage the fin-

ish.

Check that the drain hose at the rear of the

cabinet discharges into the drip tray.

4 electrolux

DAILY USE

Movable shelves

The walls of the refrigerator are equipped

with a series of shelves support so that the

shelves can be positioned as desired.

Some shelves must be lifted up by the rear

edge to enable them to be removed.

Important! Do not move the glass shelf

above the vegetable drawer to ensure

correct air circulation.

Vegetable Drawer

The drawer is suitable for storing fruit and

vegetables.

Some models have a separator inside the

drawer that can be placed in different posi-

tions to allow for the subdivision best suited

to personal needs.

All parts inside the drawer can be removed

for cleaning purposes.

Positioning the door shelves

To permit storage of food packages of vari-

ous sizes, the door shelves can be placed

at different heights.

To make these adjustments proceed as fol-

lows:

gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the

arrows until it comes free, then reposition

as required.

Important! Do not move the big lower door

shelf to ensure correct air circulation.

HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

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 continu-

ously, causing frost or ice on the evapo-

rator. If this happens, set the Tempera-

ture Regulator toward warmer settings to

allow automatic defrosting and so a sav-

ing in electricity consumption.

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

Hints for refrigeration

Useful hints:

Meat (all types) : wrap in polythene bags

and place on the glass shelf above the veg-

etable drawer.

For safety, store in this way only one or two

days at the most.

Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc..: these

should be covered and may be placed on

any shelf.

Fruit and vegetables: these should be thor-

oughly cleaned and placed in the special

drawer(s) provided.

Butter and cheese: these should be placed

in special airtight containers or wrapped in

aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude

as much air as possible.

Milk bottles: these should have a cap and

should be stored in the bottle rack on the

door.

Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not

packed, must not be kept in the refrigera-

tor.

Hints for temperature inside the fridge

• A suitable temperature inside the fridge is

approx. +5° C. It is normal with higher

temperature in the top of the fridge and

lower temperature in the lower part. If the

temperature regulator is set to a cold

temperature, the ambient temperature is

high or if the fridge is fully loaded the

compressor will run for a longer time.

This results in colder temperature in the

lower part of the fridge due to the cold air

that falls down. It may result in that food

with high water content start to freeze. If

too cold, change to a higher temperature

setting.

Important! Do not place any shelves

towards the water drain hole. This can

result in too cold temperatures.

• If you want to check the temperature of

food stored in the refrigerator, place a

glass of water centrally in the cabinet,

and put a proper thermometer with an

accuracy of +/– 1 °C into it. After 6 hours

the temperature can be monitored. The

measuring shall be performed under

steady-stated conditions (without chang-

ing the load).

CARE AND CLEANING

Caution! Unplug the appliance before

carrying out any maintenance

operation.

This appliance contains hydrocarbons

in its cooling unit; maintenance and re-

charging must therefore only be carried

out by authorized technicians.

Periodic cleaning

The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:

• clean the inside and accessories with

lukewarm water and some neutral soap.

• regularly check the door seals and wipe

clean to ensure they are clean and free

from debris.

• rinse and dry thoroughly.

Important! Do not pull, move or damage

any pipes and/or cables inside the cabinet.

Never use detergents, abrasive powders,

highly perfumed cleaning products or wax

polishes to clean the interior as this will

damage the surface and leave a strong

odour.

Clean the condenser (black grill) and the

compressor at the back of the appliance

with a brush or a vacuum cleaner. This op-

eration will improve the performance of the

appliance and save energy consumption.

Important! Take care of not to damage the

cooling system.

Important! When moving the cabinet, lift it

by the front edge to avoid scratching the

floor.

Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners

contain chemicals that can attack/damage

the plastics used in this appliance. For this

reason use a soft cloth rinsed in warm wa-

ter and neutral soap emulsion for cleaning

external surfaces.

Important! Do not use detergents or

abrasive paste as these will damage the

paint, or stainless steel anti finger print

coating.

After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to

the mains supply.

Cleaning the ventilation grille

The ventilation grille can be removed for

washing.

Make sure the door is open and then:

1. Loosen the upper edge of the grille by

pulling outward/downward.

2. Pull the grille straight out to completely

remove it.

3. Vacuum clean under the cabinet.

Defrosting the refrigerator

Frost is automatically eliminated from the

evaporator of the refrigerator compartment

every time the motor compressor stops,

during normal use. The defrost water drains

out through a drain hole into a special con-

tainer at the back of the appliance, over the

motor compressor, where it evaporates.

It is important to periodically clean the de-

frost water drain hole in the middle of the

refrigerator compartment channel to pre-

vent the water overflowing and dripping on-

to the food inside.
