3. OPERATION

3.1 Switching on

Insert the electrical plug into a wall

socket.

Turn the temperature regulator clockwise

to a medium setting.

3.2 Switching off

To turn off the appliance, turn the

temperature regulator to the "O" position.

3.3 Temperature regulation

The temperature is automatically

regulated.

To operate the appliance, proceed as

follows:

• turn the Temperature regulator

towards lower settings to obtain the

minimum coldness.

• turn the Temperature regulator

towards higher settings to obtain the

maximum coldness.

ENGLISH 5

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.

If the ambient temperature is

high or the appliance is fully

loaded, and the appliance is

set to the lowest

temperature, it may run

continuously causing frost to

form on the rear wall. In this

case the dial must be set to

a higher temperature to

allow automatic defrosting

and therefore reduced

energy consumption.

4. DAILY USE

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

4.1 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 foods it is not necessary

to change the medium setting.

However, for a faster freezing operation,

turn the temperature regulator toward

higher settings to obtain the maximum

coldness.

CAUTION!

In this condition, the

refrigerator compartment

temperature might drop

below 0°C. If this occurs

reset the temperature

regulator to a warmer

setting.

4.2 Storage of frozen food

When first starting-up or after a period

out of use, before putting the products in

the compartment let the appliance run at

least 2 hours on the higher settings.

In the event of accidental

defrosting, for example due

to a power failure, if the

power has been off for

longer than the value shown

in the technical

characteristics chart under

"rising time", the defrosted

food must be consumed

quickly or cooked

immediately and then re-

frozen (after cooling).

4.3 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.

4.4 Movable shelves

The walls of the refrigerator are equipped

with a series of runners so that the

shelves can be positioned as desired.

www.electrolux.com6

Do not move the glass shelf

above the vegetable drawer

to ensure correct air

circulation.

4.5 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.

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 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.

ENGLISH 7

5.5 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.

5.6 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.

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 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.

6.3 Periodic cleaning

CAUTION!

Do not pull, move or damage

any pipes and/or cables

inside the cabinet.

www.electrolux.com8

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.

6.4 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 Defrosting of the freezer

CAUTION!

Never use sharp metal tools

to scrape off frost from the

evaporator as you could

damage it. Do not use a

mechanical device or any

artificial means to speed up

the thawing process other

than those recommended by

the manufacturer. A

temperature rise of the

frozen food packs, during

defrosting, may shorten their

safe storage life.

About 12 hours prior to

defrosting, set a lower

temperature, in order to build

up sufficient chill reserve for

the interruption in operation.

A certain amount of frost will always form

on the freezer shelves and around the

top compartment.

Defrost the freezer when the frost layer

reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.

1. Switch off the appliance, or pull out

electrical plug from the wall socket.

2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in

several layers of newspaper and put

it in a cool place.

WARNING!

Do not touch frozen

goods with wet hands.

Hands can freeze to the

goods.

3. Leave the door open.

In order to speed up the defrosting

process, place a pot of warm water in

the freezer compartment. In addition,

remove pieces of ice that break away

before defrosting is complete.

4. When defrosting is completed, dry

the interior thoroughly.

5. Switch on the appliance.

After three hours reload the previously

removed food into the freezer

compartment.

ENGLISH 9

6.6 Periods of non-operation
