3. OPERATION

3.1 Control panel

1 2

ENGLISH 5

1Pilot light

2Temperature regulator

3.2 Switching on

1. Insert the plug into the wall socket.

The pilot light will light up.

2. Turn the Temperature regulator

clockwise to a medium setting.

3.3 Switching off

To turn off the appliance, turn the

Temperature Regulator to the "O"

position.

The Pilot light remains ON

until the appliance is

disconnected from the power

socket.

3.4 Temperature regulation

The temperature is regulated

automatically.

A medium setting is generally

the most suitable. However,

the exact setting should be

chosen keeping 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.

1. Turn the Temperature regulator

counter clockwise to obtain warmer

storage temperature.

2. Turn the Temperature regulator

clockwise to obtain colder storage

temperature.

4. DAILY USE

4.1 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

positions to allow for the subdivision best

suited to personal needs.

All parts inside the drawer can be

removed for cleaning purposes.

4.2 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.

Do not move the glass shelf

above the vegetable drawer

to ensure correct air

circulation.

4.3 Bottle rack

1. Place the bottles (with the opening

facing front) in the pre-positioned

shelf.

If the shelf is positioned

horizontally, place only

closed bottles.

2. To store previously opened bottles,

pull the shelf up so it can rotate

upwards and be placed on the next

higher level.

www.electrolux.com6

4.4 Positioning the door shelves

To permit storage of food packages of

various sizes, the door shelves can be

placed at different heights.

Gradually pull the shelf in the direction of

arrows until it comes free, then reposition

as required.

Do not move the big lower door shelf to

ensure correct air circulation.

4.5 FreeStore function

The refrigerator compartment is equipped

with a FreeStore function which enables

rapid cooling of foods and a more uniform

storage temperature.

It is suggested to activate

FreeStore when the ambient

temperature exceeds 25°C.

Set the switch (A) to the On position and

the fan runs when the compressor is

running.

4.6 Cleaning the interior

1. Before using the appliance for the first

time, wash the interior and all internal

accessories with lukewarm water and

neutral soap so as to remove the

typical smell of a brand-new product,

then dry thoroughly.

2. Check that the drain hose at the rear

of the cabinet discharges into the drip

tray.

CAUTION!

Do not use detergents or

abrasive powders, as these

will damage the finish.

ENGLISH 7

5. HINTS AND TIPS

5.1 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.

5.2 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.

5.3 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

5.4 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

thoroughly 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.

• Bottles: these need a cap and should

be stored either on the bottle rack or

the door bottle shelf.

• Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic,

if not packed, must not be kept in the

refrigerator.

5.5 Hints for temperature inside

the refrigerator

A suitable temperature inside the

refrigerator is approximately +5° C. It is

normal with higher temperature in the top

of the refrigerator and lower temperature

in the lower part. If the temperature

regulator is set to a too cold temperature,

the ambient temperature is high or if the

appliance 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.

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

changing the load).

6. CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

6.1 General warnings

CAUTION!

Unplug the appliance before

carrying out any maintenance

operation.

This appliance contains

hydrocarbons in its cooling

unit; maintenance and

recharging must therefore

only be carried out by

authorized technicians.

The accessories and parts of

the appliance are not suitable

for washing in a dishwasher.

6.2 Periodic cleaning

CAUTION!

Do not pull, move or damage

any pipes and/or cables

inside the cabinet.

CAUTION!

Take care of not to damage

the cooling system.

CAUTION!

When moving the cabinet, lift

it by the front edge to avoid

scratching the floor.

The equipment has to be cleaned

regularly:

1. Clean the inside and accessories with

lukewarm water and some neutral

soap.

2. Regularly check the door seals and

wipe clean to ensure they are clean

and free from debris.

3. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

4. If accessible, clean the condenser and

the compressor at the back of the

appliance with a brush.

This operation will improve the

performance of the appliance and

save electricity consumption.

6.3 Cleaning the ventilation grille

Make sure the door is open.

The ventilation grille can be removed for

washing.

1. Loosen the edge of the grille by pulling

it according to the figure.

2. Pull the grille straight out to completely

remove it.

3. Vacuum clean under the cabinet.

6.4 Defrosting of 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 trough

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 refrigerator compartment channel to

prevent the water overflowing and

dripping onto the food inside.

6.5 Periods of non-operation

When the appliance is not in use for long

periods, take the following precautions:

ENGLISH 9

1. Disconnect the appliance from

electricity supply.

2. Remove all food.

3. Clean the appliance and all

accessories.

4. Leave the door/doors open to prevent

unpleasant smells.

WARNING!

If the cabinet will be kept on,

ask somebody to check it

once in a while to prevent the

food inside from spoiling in

case of a power failure.
