Measuring the temperature

If the temperature is measured using a standard,
single thermometer, this should be put in a glass of
water centrally placed inside the cabinet. This will
reflect the temperature inside the food products. Do
not place the thermometer hanging or lying directly
on the shelf.

Hints:

· Distribute foodstuffs to allow cold air to
circulate freely between the products.

· Do not place food products directly against the
cooling plate on the rear wall since they may
freeze in this case.

· Also never put warm products into the cabinet.
Wait until they have cooled down.

· Cover all foods properly to avoid odours and
flavours from tainting other food.

Switching off

Switch off the cabinet by pressing the power switch.
Keep the button pressed for approx. 1 second.

Temperature inside the freezer

To ensure that foodstuff will keep for a long time, be
sure that the temperature inside the freezer is -18°C
or below. Please note, however, that the energy
consumption increases as the temperature decreases.

The built-in temperature display shows the warmest
temperature inside the freezer. If the temperature is
measured using a thermometer, put it between the
products since this will reflect the real temperature
in the frozen products. It is normal that the built-in
temperature display shows a temperature slightly
above that measured in other ways.

Practical advice on freezing

· When freezing products, use the top shelf, and if
necessary the shelf beneath as this is the coldest
part.

· When freezing large amounts of food/provisions,
the accumulator moves to the tray/space nearest
to the lower freezing shelf.

- Place the foods directly on the freezer shelves.

· Spread out the products as much as possible to
allow air to circulate between them.

· Do not place food products which are to be
frozen directly against other frozen food.
The heat from the unfrozen food may cause
the frozen food to thaw on the surface.

· Once frozen, re-arrange the products and put
them as close as possible to each other.
The food will then stay cold longer i n t he
event of a power failure.

· Do not freeze too much food at the same time.
The freezing capacity of the unit is indicated in
the specifications section.

Check that the cabinet is operating and
keeps the set temperature one day after
switching it on for the first time. Only
after then should the freezer be used to
freeze fresh foodstuff.

Suitable storage periods

Food purchased in frozen condition: Follow the
advice on the maximum storage period indicated on
the packaging.
Fresh food frozen at home:
Fatty and salty food should not be kept frozen for
more than three months. Cooked food and low-fat
food may be kept up to about six months. Lean food
and berries can be kept for approximately one year.

Thawing

It is best to use the fridge to thaw food. P l ace the
foodstuff on a plate with a raised edge to prevent
liquids from running out. To quickly thaw food, put
it in room temperature or in cold water. When using
a microwave oven to thaw foodstuff, follow the
manufacturer's instructions.

Electrolux 818 19 21-01/9

Cabinet interior

Freezer drawers

The freezer drawers make it easy to quickly and
easily find the food package you want. To gain
space, the drawers can be removed and the products
can be put directly on the shelves. On all shelves,
except the top shelf, it is possible to place products
that protrude 20 mm from the front edge. This
allows maximum use of the available space.
Do not remove the bottom drawer. It is required to
assure proper air circulation.

Freezer tray

Use the freezer tray to freeze berries and vegetables.
After about 4 hours the food will be thoroughly
frozen and can then be packaged normally. Food
that is frozen in this way will not stick together,
enabling you to use only the amount required.

Cold accumulator

The cold accumulator will keep the food cold for
longer after a power failure. The cold accumulator
will be most effective when placed at the front of the
fast-freezing tray. When freezing large amounts of
food/provisions, the accumulator moves to the
tray/space nearest to the lower freezing shelf.
When defrosting:
Place the cold accumulator on top of the frozen food
to keep it cold.

Ice cubes

Fill the ice tray to max. 3/4 since water expands as it
freezes. Release the ice cubes by twisting the ice
tray.
If ice cubes are kept for a long time, they will dry
out and t he taste is affected. Thus, throw away old
ice cubes and prepare new ones when needed.

Hints and Tips

Saving energy

· Pay careful attention to where the cabinet is

placed. See the section "Installation". When
installed correctly, the cabinet will consume less
energy.

· Try to avoid keeping the door open for long

periods, or opening the door too frequently as
warm air will enter the cabinet, and cause the
compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.

· Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the

door from closing properly.

· Thaw frozen food in the fridge. This will ensure

safer defrosting of foods and reduce the work of
the refrigeration unit

· It is advisable to periodically clean the

refrigeration system at the back of the appliance
with a duster or vacuum cleaner .

· Always leave warm food to cool down to room

temperature before placing in the fridge.

GB

· Food which is to be frozen (when cool) should

be placed in the fridge before being transfered to
the freezer.

· Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by

packing all foodstuffs into airtight packages
before placing them in the freezer.

· Carefully follow the advice on freezing products

in the section "Using the freezer". This will
prevent wasting energy.

· Do not set the temperature too low in the freezer .

A suitable temperature is in the range of -18°C
to -20°C .

· Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a

thickness of 3-5 mm.

· Make sure the door gasket is complete and

always clean.

Electrolux 818 19 21-01/9

Food Storage

· To obtain the best results from your appliance,

neither hot foods nor liquids which may
evaporate, should be placed in the larder
compartment.

· Avoid buying frozen food if you can not store it

straight away. The use of an insulated container is
advisable. When you arrive home place the
frozen food in the freezer immediately.

· Ensure that food placed in the freezer is dated and

labelled and used in date order to ensure that food
is consumed at its best.
Remove suspect food from you refrigerator and
clean, refer to cleaning and maintenance.

Protect the environment

· Hand over the cabinet packaging and discarded

fridges and freezers to a recycling station.
Contact your local council or Environmental
Health office for more information.

· Keep foodstuff in re-usable containers. Cut down

on disposable material as much as possible.

· When cleaning the cabinet, use a mild

washing-up detergent.

· Follow the advice in the section "S aving energy"

· The door gasket and coolant used in this

cabinet will not harm the ozone layer.

· All parts in the packaging can be recycled.

· The cabinet has been designed for easy

dismantling and subsequent recycling.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Removing the ventilation grille

The ventilation grille can be removed, e.g. to wash
the grille.
Make sure the door is open when removing the
ventilation grille. Unsnap the upper edge of the grille
by pulling outward/downward. Then pull the grille
straight out to completely remove it.

Cleaning

Clean the cabinet at regular intervals.

Don't use detergents, abrasive powders,
high perfumed cleaning products, wax
polishes or cleaning products
containing bleach or alcohol when
cleaning the product

Disconnect the appliance from electricity supply.
Internal Cleaning

Clean the inside and accessories with warm water
and bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0,5 litre water)
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to
ensure they are clean and free from debris.
Clean out the drip channel inside the fridge at
regular intervals and ensure that the drip channel is
clear at all times. If blocked carefully clear using a
piece of flexible curtain wire inserted into the drain
outlet to remove the blockage.

External Cleaning

Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water.
Remove the ventilation grille (see the section
"Removing the ventilation grille") and vacuum-clean
under the cabinet. Once or twice a year dust the
condenser (black grille) and the compressor at the
back of the appliance, with a brush or vacuum
cleaner, as an accumulation of dust will af fect the
performance of the appliance and cause excessive
electricity consumption.

GB

When moving the cabinet, lift it by
the front edge to avoid scratching the
floor.

Electrolux 818 19 21-01/9

Defrosting the fridge

The fridge is defrosted automatically every time the
compressor stops. Frost formation can be prevented
by:

· not putting warm foodstuff inside the cabinet.

· avoiding frequently opening the door or keeping

it open t oo long.

· do not place foodstuffs directly against the cold
cooling plate.

Defrosting the freezer

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.
Remove the freezer drawers and place them on top
of each other by turning every other drawer one half
turn. Put insulating material around the drawers, e.g.
blankets or newspapers.
The frozen products can also be packed closely
together and be kept in a cold location, e.g. in the
fridge.
Defrosting can be accelerated by placing bowls with
hot water (not boiling) inside the freezer.
Take out the drain spout and place it in the bottom
freezer drawer where water can collect.
Loosen the ventilation grille to enable the bowl to fit
under the drain spout.
Carefully scrape off the ice when it starts to thaw.
Use a wood or plastic scraper. Do not use sharp
objects as these may damage the interior.
When all the ice has melted, clean and wipe the
cabinet dry, then push the drain spout back in place.
Switch on the cabinet and replace the frozen
foodstuff.

Never use a hair drier or other heating
appliances to speed up defrosting. Excessive
heat may damage the plastic interior, and
humidity could enter the electric appliance
making it live.

To Change the Light Bulb

The light is switched on automatically when the
door is opened. Before replacing the light bulb,
disconnect the power plug from t he outlet.
Cut the packaging around the bulb socket.
Keep the packaging on to hold the bulb when setting
it into the socket. Do not touch the bulb with your
bare fingers. Halogen light bulbs are sensitive to
grease from the skin.
Use a clear halogen light bulb.

When the appliance is not in use

Disconnect the appliance from electricity supply.

Empty all foods and clean the appliance, leaving the
doors ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.
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.
