lows:
gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the
arrows until it comes free, then reposition as
required.
Important! Do not move the 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 tem-
perature and the appliance is fully loaded,
the compressor may run continuously,
causing frost or ice on the evaporator. If
this happens, set the Temperature Regu-
lator toward warmer settings to allow au-
tomatic defrosting and so a saving in elec-
tricity consumption.
Hints for fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
• do not store warm food or evaporating liq-
uids 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 vegetable
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 refrigerator.
Hints for temperature inside the fridge
• A suitable temperature inside the fridge is
approx. +5° C. It is normal with higher tem-
perature in the top of the fridge. If the tem-
perature regulator is set to a cold temper-
ature, the ambient temperature is high or
if the fridge is fully loaded the compressor
will run for a longer time. If too cold,
change to a higher temperature setting.
6 electrolux
Important! Do not place food against or
close to the temperature sensor. 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 accura-
cy of +/– 1 °C into it. After 6 hours the
temperature can be monitored. The meas-
uring shall be performed under steady-sta-
ted conditions (without changing 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 luke-
warm 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 dam-
age 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 operation
will improve the performance of the appli-
ance 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 water
and neutral soap emulsion for cleaning ex-
ternal 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.
Replacing the Taste Guard filter
To get the best performance the Taste Guard
filter once every year.

electrolux 7
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, dur-
ing normal use. The defrost water drains out
through a drain hole into a special container
at the back of the appliance, over the motor
compressor, where it evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the defrost
water drain hole in the middle of the refriger-
ator compartment channel to prevent the
water overflowing and dripping onto the food
inside.
