Before use GB

Position and clean the cabinet as explained in the section

"Installation".

Check that the drain hoses at the rear of the cabinet

discharges into the drip tray.

Before inserting the power plug into the

outlet and switching on the cabinet for

the first time, leave it standing upright

for about 4 hours. Otherwise the

compressor may sustain damage. This

time will allow the oil sufficient time to

return to the compressor.

Using the fridge

freezer GB

This cabinet is a combined freezer/freezer whereby both freezer/freezer compartments are operated by the same

compressor. This means that if the fridge compartment becomes overloads it will result in even colder

temperatures in the freezer.

To start the freezer and set the

correct temperature

Switching on:

Switch on the freezer by pressing the power switch.

The alarm sounds if the temperature inside the

freezer reaches room temperature. Turn off the alarm

by pressing the switch-off button.

Setting the temperature

Press the buttons until the desired temperature blinks

on the temperature display. (The temperature can be

set between -15°C and -24°C.)

"+" increases the temperature.

"-" decreases the temperature.

Once set, the temperature display shows the current

temperature inside the freezer.

Allow the cabinet to run for a period of 24 hours

whenever the temperature setting is changed. This

will allow the temperature to stabilise inside the

cabinet.

It is not necessary to reset the temperature when the

cabinet is switched on after it has been out of use.

The electronics recalls the previously set

temperature.

Temperature inside the freezer

To ensure that foodstuff will keep for a long time, be

sure that the temperature inside the freezer is -18°C

or below. Please note, however, that the energy

consumption increases as the temperature decreases.

The built-in temperature display shows the warmest

temperature inside the freezer. If the temperature is

measured using a thermometer, put it between the

products since this will reflect the real temperature

in the frozen products. It is normal that the built-in

temperature display shows a temperature slightly

above that measured in other ways.

Switching off

Switch off the cabinet by pressing the power switch.

Keep the button pressed for approx. 1 second.

Power to the cabinet is completely

interrupted only when the power plug is

disconnected.

If the freezer is turned off, the refrigerator will

also turn off. E.g. while defrosting the freezer.

Alarms and other features

Door open alarm

If the door remains open for more than about 1,5

minute, the red indicator lamp starts flashing and an

audible alarm sounds.

To switch off the alarm:

Press the alarm shut-off button. As long as the door

remains open, the audible alarm will sound anew at

1-minute intervals. The red indicator lamp goes out

when the door is closed.

Temperature alarm

If the temperature rises above -12°C, the red warning

lamp flashes and an audible alarm sounds. The

temperature display will then start to flash.

To switch off the alarm:

Press the alarm shut-off button to switch off the

audible alarm. The temperature display will stop

flashing.

The red warning lamp goes out when the

temperature inside the freezer again falls below

-11°C.

Find out what caused the alarm. See the chapter

"Something not working".

Temperature memory

The temperature memory shows when an alarm has

been triggered in the cabinet.

The temperature memory operates as follows:

When the temperature inside the freezer again falls

below -11°C the audible alarm stops. The

temperature display and the red warning lamp will

flash to indicate than an alarm was triggered. When

the alarm shut-off button is pressed, the display then

displays the warmest temperature inside the cabinet

during the alarm phase and the display stops

flashing. By referring to the temperature display

indication, it is possible to decide whether or not to

discard the products inside the freezer.

-12°C:

Most food products can be immediately

re-frozen. Ice cream is especially sensitive to

temperature changes and should be consumed

as soon as possible.

At -9° - -2°C:

Food products should be prepared (cooked)

prior to eating or re-freezing them.

However, always check the quality of the food

yourself to determine if it can be frozen or if it must

be discarded.

Freezing

Press the fast freeze button approx. 24 hours prior to

placing the food in the freezer.

You need not press the fast-freeze button when

freezing smaller quantities of food during any

24-hour period.

Fast freeze is automatically switched off apporox 50

hours after the button has been pressed.

Fast freeze can be discontinued by pressing the fast

freeze button once again.

The yellow fast freeze lamp remains lit as long as

the fast freeze button is engaged.

"A" (ACTION FREEZE) is displayed in the

temperature display.

Practical advice on freezing

·When freezing products, use the top shelf, and if

necessary the shelf beneth that.

·Place the foods directly on the freezer shelves.

·Spread out the products as much as possible to

allow air to circulate between them.

·Do not place food products which are to be

frozen directly against other frozen food.

The heat from the unfrozen food may cause

the frozen food to thaw on the surface.

·Once frozen, re-arrange the products and put

them as close as possible to each other.

The food will then stay cold longer in the

event of a power failure.

·When freezing large amounts of food/provisions,

the accumulator moves to the tray/space nearest

to the lower freezing shelf.

· Do not freeze too much food at the same time.

The freezing capacity of the unit is indicated in

the specifications section.

Suitable storage periods

Food purchased in frozen condition: Follow the

advice on the maximum storage period indicated on

the packaging.

Fresh food frozen at home:

Fatty and salty food should not be kept frozen for

more than three months. Cooked food and low-fat

food may be kept up to about six months. Lean food

and berries can be kept for approximately one year.

Cabinet interior

Freezer drawers

The freezer drawers make it possible to quickly and

easily find the food package you want. To gain

space, the drawers can be removed and the products

can be put directly on the shelves. On all shelves,

except the top shelf, it is possible to place products

that protrude 20 mm from the front edge. This

allows maximum use of the available space.

Do not remove the bottom drawer. It is required to

assure proper air circulation.

Check that the cabinet is operating and

keeps the set temperature one day after

switching it on for the first time. Only

after then should the freezer be used to

freeze fresh foodstuff.

Thawing

It is best to thaw foods in refrigerator. Place the

foodstuff on a plate with a raised edge to prevent

liquids from running out. To quickly thaw food,

place it in room temperature or in cold water. When

using a microwave oven to thaw foodstuff, follow

the manufacturer's instructions.

7Electrolux 818 39 45-00/8

Ice cubes

Fill the ice tray to max. 3/4 since water expands as it

freezes. Release the ice cubes by twisting the ice

tray.

If ice cubes are kept for a long time, they will dry

out and the taste is affected. Thus, throw away old

ice cubes and prepare new ones when needed.

Removable shelves

There are the removable shelves inside the freezer.

Remove the shelf when large food products need to

be frozen.

Cold accumulator

The cold accumulator will keep the food cold for

longer after a power failure. The cold accumulator

will be most effective when placed on the top shelf.

When freezing large amounts of food/provisions, the

accumulator moves to on top of the food.

Freezer tray

Use the freezer tray to freeze berries and vegetables.

After about 4 hours the food will be thoroughly

frozen and can then be packaged normally. Food

that is frozen in this way will not stick together,

enabling you to use only the amount required.

To start the fridge and set the

correct temperature

Switching on:

Switch on the fridge by pressing the power switch.

Setting the temperature

Press the buttons until the desired temperature

flashes in the temperature display (The temperature

can be set between +2°C and +8°C.)

"+" raises the temperature.

"-" lowers the temperature.

Once set, the temperature display shows "-" until the

temperature inside the fridge reaches +9°C or below.

Allow the cabinet to run for a period of 24 hours

whenever the temperature setting is changed. This

will allow the temperature to stabilise inside the

cabinet.

It is not necessary to reset the temperature when the

cabinet is switched on after it has been out of use.

The electronics recalls the previously set

temperature.

Temperature inside the fridge

A suitable temperature inside the fridge is approx.

+5°C. If the electronics control is set to a too cold

temperature, food with a high water content may

start to freeze if it has been placed in the coldest

places in the fridge. The picture shows the coldest

and warmest places inside the fridge.

(+ warm, - cold)

Meat, fish and milk should be put in the coldest part

of the cabinet.

The temperature will be affected by:

· How often the door is opened

· How much food is stored

· Position of the appliance (See chapter

Installation)

Measuring the temperature

If the temperature is measured using a standard,

single thermometer, this should be put in a glass of

water centrally placed inside the cabinet. This will

reflect the temperature inside the food products. Do

not place the thermometer hanging or lying directly

on the shelf.

Hints:

· Distribute foodstuffs to allow cold air to

circulate freely between the products.

· Do not place food products directly against the

cooling plate on the rear wall since they may

freeze in this case.

· Also never put warm products into the cabinet.

Wait until they have cooled down.

· Cover all foods properly to avoid odours and

flavours from tainting other food.

Switching off

Switch off the cabinet by pressing the power switch.

Keep the button pressed for approx. 1 second.

Power to the cabinet is completely

interrupted only when the power plug is

disconnected.

Alarms and other features

Door open alarm

If the fridge door remains open for more than 5

minutes, the red warning lamp starts flashing and an

audible alarm sounds.

To switch off the alarm:

Press the "alarm shut-off button". The red warning

lamp goes out when the door is closed.

Action cool

Use Action Cool to refrigerate a large quantity of

products. When Action Cool is switched on, the

temperature is automatically set to +2°C.

"A" is then displayed in the temperature display and

the yellow indicator lamp lights. After about 6

hours, Action Cool is switched off and the

temperature gradually returns to the previously set

temperature. It is possible to switch off Action Cool

manually by pressing the Action Cool button once

more.

Cabinet interior

The shelves and door compartments are removable

and can easily be re-arranged.

Certain shelves must be lifted up by the rear edge to

enable them to be removed.

The lower door compartment and the glass shelf

above the vegetable drawer must not be moved.

They are required for proper air circulation inside the

cabinet.

Shelves with a raised edge should be placed with the

raised edge facing the rear wall of the cabinet, and

thus prevent food products from touching the

cooling plate.

The vegetable drawer has two moveable partitions

with five different choices in order to separate

different vegetables.

The vegetable drawer has a removable ventilation

edging to increase the circulation of air and reduce

the risk of condensation.

Hints and Tips GB

Saving energy

·Pay careful attention to where the cabinet is

placed. See the section "Installation". When

installed correctly, the cabinet will consume less

energy.

·Try to avoid keeping the door open for long

periods, or opening the door too frequently as

warm air will enter the cabinet, and cause the

compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.

·Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the

door from closing properly.
