1 - Introduction

Dear Customer

Congratulations on the purchase of your new refrigerator.

We at Electrolux Home Products are very proud of our product and we are completely committed to providing you with the best service possible.

Please read this Use & Care Manual very carefully. It contains valuable information on how to properly maintain your new refrigerator. We know you’ll enjoy your new refrigerator and thank you for choosing our product. We hope you will consider us for future purchases.

Follow the instructions below to ensure that you install it safely and that it runs efficiently.

PLEASE READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This Use & Care Manual provides specific operating instructions for your model. Use your refrigerator only as instructed in this manual. These instructions are not meant to cover every possible condition and situation that may occur. Common sense and caution must be practiced when installing, operating and maintaining any appliance.

Important:- Before you install your refrigerator, PLEASE CHECK FOR ANY DAMAGE OR MARKS. If you find that the refrigerator is damaged or marked, you must report this within 7 days if you wish to claim for damage / marks under the manufacturers warranty. This does not affect your statutory rights.

Important Safety Instructions

IF PRESSURISED AEROSOL CONTAINERS BEAR THE WORD ‘FLAMMABLE’ AND/OR A SMALL FLAME SYMBOL, DO NOT STORE THEM INSIDE ANY REFRIGERATOR. IF YOU DO SO YOU MAY CAUSE AN EXPLOSION

When you dispose of refrigerators and freezers, remove any doors. Children can suffocate if they get trapped inside.

This refrigerator contains insulation formed with flammable blowing gases. Avoid safety hazards by carefully disposing of this appliance.

•The refrigerator must be plugged into its own dedicated AC electric outlet.

•Ensure that the electric outlet is properly earthed to ground. Consult a qualified electrician if you are unsure.

•It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from the mains power supply; the plug must therefore be easily accessible after installation.

•Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug.

•If the power cord is damaged, it should be replaced by a service technician or a qualified person .

•Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and before changing any of the light bulbs to avoid electric shock.

•Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly, and pull straight out of the receptacle to prevent damaging the power cord.

Location

•Choose a place that is not too cold - the temperature should be above 10°C.

•Put the refrigerator in a dry place, avoiding areas of high moisture or humidity.

•Don’t put the refrigerator in frosty or unprotected areas, for example in a garage or on a veranda.

•Don’t put the refrigerator in direct sunlight.

•Don’t put the refrigerator near stoves, fires or heaters.

When correctly installed, your refrigerator should:

•have adequate clearance to the back and sides for air circulation.

•be aligned to the surrounding cupboards.

•have doors that will self-close from a partially open position.

•have the stability foot in place (see Diagram 4 on page 6) to prevent the refrigerator falling forward when

a door with heavy food load is opened.

Clearances around your refrigerator.

Before you move your refrigerator into the place where it will operate check that it will have adequate clearance. Clearance is required for air circulation and too little clearance may affect your refrigerators performance.

We recommend minimum clearances of:

•3cm on each side.

•9cm above the refrigerator.

•5cm behind the refrigerator.

3 - Installation

Installing your new refrigerator.

The refrigerator should
arrive with the front
adjustable rollers wound
down to tilt the top of the
refrigerator backwards
by about 10-15mm from
upright (See Diagram 1).
The stability foot should
also be wound fully up so
it will not interfere with the
operation of the rollers
(See Diagram 2).	Diagram 1

1. Roll the refrigerator into its final position.

WARNING: The rollers are designed for forward or backward movement only. They are not castors. Moving the refrigerator sideways may damage your floor and the rollers.

2. The top of the refrigerator should be tilted back by approximately 10-15mm. This will allow the doors to selfclose providing a consistent door seal. (See Diagram 1) It is normal for the freezer door to momentarily open and

re-close when the food compartment door is closed firmly. If the freezer stays open you will need to tilt the refrigerator backwards a little further.

Diagram 2

3. If the refrigerator is not tilted back, you can adjust the two front rollers by turning the large, plastic roller nut (See Diagram 2). This will increase the height of the rollers. One turn of the nut will tilt the refrigerator back approximately 10mm. If you have difficulty turning the roller nut you can have someone tilt the refrigerator back, so that you have better access. Alternatively, you can access the rollers from the side, using a flat screwdriver to help you turn the nut (see Diagram 2).

Diagram 3

4.Check the alignment of the refrigerator to the surrounding cupboards. The top of the refrigerator should be level from side to side (see Diagram 3). If you need to adjust the level, use the adjustable rollers as discussed in Step 3.

5.If the refrigerator now rocks from one corner to the opposite rear corner, this means that the floor is uneven; you will need to put some packing under one of the rear rollers.You could use thin pieces of solid material, such as thin board, vinyl floor tiles or laminate. Place the packing so that it will sit under one of the rear rollers when the refrigerator is rolled into position.

6.You may now need to fine-tune the installation by repeating Steps 3, 4 and 5.

7. When you have the refrigerator in final position wind the stabilising foot down until it just makes contact with the floor (see Diagram 4). Whenever you need to move the refrigerator, be sure to wind the foot back up so that the refrigerator can roll freely.

Diagram 4

8.Clean your refrigerator thoroughly following the instructions on page 15 and wipe off any dust that has accumulated during shipping.

9.Plug the refrigerator into the power point. Don’t use a double adaptor. If you need to roll the refrigerator out to get at the power point, remember to raise the stabilizing foot before you do so.

10.We recommend that you let your refrigerator run for two to three hours before you put any food in it. This will allow you to check that it is operating properly and that enough cool air is going to the freezer.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed your refrigerator.
