10 electrolux

Temperature regulation

The temperature is automatically regulated and can be increased to achieve a higher temperature (warmer) by rotating the thermostat knob toward lower settings or reduced (colder) rotating the knob towards higher settings.

However, the exact setting should be chosen keeping in mind that the temperature inside the refrigerator depends on:

•room temperature;

•how often the door is opened;

•the quantity of food stored;

•location of appliance.

A medium setting is generally the most suitable.

Important

If the ambient temperature is high or the appliance is fully loaded, and the appliance is set to the lowest temperatures, 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.

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 round it.

electrolux 11

Air recycling

The refrigerator compartment is equipped with a special D.A.C.(Dynamic Air Cooling) fan which can be turned on with the switch B. The yellow light (C), when on, means that the fan is working.

It is suggested that the fan (D.A.C.) be used when the ambient temperature exceeds 25°C .

It should be remembered that the thermostat knob A must be placed

within the sector

This device allows for rapid cooling of foods and a more uniform temperature in the compartment.

12 electrolux

Movable shelves

The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a series of runners so that the shelves can be positioned as desired.

D338

Bottle rack

Place bottles in the rack with the bottleneck to the front. Important: Only store unopened bottles horizontally.

The bottle rack can be tilted for storing opened bottles.

To do this pull the bottle rack forward until it can be tilted upwards, then slide the front support into the next level up.

Positioning the door shelves

To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the door shelves can be placed at different heights.

To make these adjustments proceed as follows: Gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the arrows until it comes free, then reposition as required.

Drawer

The drawer is suitable for storing fruit and vegetables. There is a separator inside the drawer that can be placed in different positions to allow for the subdivision best suited to personal needs.

There is a grille (if forseen) on the bottom of the drawer to separate the fruit and vegetables from any humidity that may form on the bottom surface. All parts inside the drawer can be removed for cleaning purposes.

electrolux 13

Humidity Control

The drawer incorporates a device with slits (adjustable by means of a sliding lever),which makes it possible to regulate the temperature in the vegetable drawer(s).

The opening in the ventilation slots can be adjusted with the slider. Right slider: Ventilation slots opened.

With the ventilation slots open, more air circulation results in a lower air moisture content in the fruit and vegetable compartments. Left slider: Ventilation slots closed. When the ventilation slots are closed, the natural moisture content of the food in the fruit and vegetable compartments is preserved for longer.

Ice-cube production

This appliance is equipped with one or more trays for the production of icecubes.

These are insert on the sides of the upper freezer drawer.

Pull out the upper freezer drawer. Extract the ice-tray.

Pull out the tap.

Fill with water to the limit indicated. “MAX”.

Refit the tap and insert the tray in the appropriate place.

To remove the ice cubes rotate the tray with the ice needles towards the top and hit on a rigid surface.

To semplify the release of the ice needles it is recommended to keep the closed tray under if possible luke warm water for a few seconds.

Do not use metallic instruments to remove the ice cubes from the tray.

Freezing fresh food

The 4-star compartment is suitable for long term storage of commercially frozen food, and for freezing fresh food.

To freeze fresh foods it is not necessary to change the setting of the thermostat knob with respect to the normal running position.

However, for a quicker freezing operation, turn the thermostat knob to the coldest setting; but remember that, in this condition, the refrigerating compartment temperature might drop below 0°C.

If this occurs reset thermostat knob to a warmer setting.

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 for at least two hours on the coldest setting, then turn the thermostat knob to the normal operating position.

Important

In the event of accidental defrosting, for example due to a power failure, if the power has been off for longer that the value shown in the technical characteristics chart under “rising time”, the defrosted food must be consumed quickly or cooked immediately and then refrozen (after cooling).

electrolux 15

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.

16 electrolux

HINTS

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.

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 freezing

To help you make the most of the freezing process, here are some important hints:

•Place the food to be frozen on the upper drawer as this is the coldest place.

•the maximum quantity of food which can be frozen in 24 hrs. is shown on the rating plate;

•the freezing process takes 24 hours. No further food to be frozen should be added during this period;

•only freeze 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 freezingin date on each individual pack to enable you to keep tab of the storage time;

•do not put carbonated liquids (fizzy drinks, etc.) in the freezer compartment as they may burst.

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.

MAINTENANCE

Unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance operation.

Warning

This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling unit; maintenance and recharging must therefore only be carried out by authorized technicians.

Periodic cleaning

Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners contain chemicals that can attack/damage the plastics used in this appliance. For this reason it is recommended that the outer casing of this appliance is only cleaned with warm water with a little washing-up liquid added.

Clean the inside with warm water and bicarbonate of soda.

Rinse and dry thoroughly.

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 appliance and save electricity consumption.

Defrosting

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. Use the special cleaner provided, which you will find already inserted into the drain hole.
