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.

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.

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;

www.electrolux.com8

• 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 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.

ENGLISH 9

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 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.

6.4 Defrosting 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.

6.5 Periods of non-operation

When the appliance is not in use for long

periods, take the following precautions:

1. Disconnect the appliance from

electricity supply.

2. Remove all food.

3. Defrost (if necessary) and clean the

appliance and all accessories.

4. Clean the appliance and all

accessories.

5. Leave the door/doors open to prevent

unpleasant smells.
