Before use

Position and clean the cabinet as explained in the section "Installation". Check that the drain hose at the rear of the cabinet discharges into the drip tray.

Before inserting the power plug into the outlet and switching on the cabinet for the first time, leave it standing upright for about 4 hours. Otherwise the compressor may sustain damage. This time will allow the oil sufficient time to return to the compressor.

Temperature inside the fridge

A s uitable temperature inside the fridge is approx. +5°C. If the thermostat control is set to a too cold temperature, food with a high water content may start to freeze if it has been placed in the coldest places in the fridge. The picture shows the coldest and warmest places inside the fridge. (+ warm, - cold) Meat, fish and milk should be put in the coldest part of the cabinet. The temperature will be affecteed by:

· How often the door is opened

· How much food is stored

· Position of the appliance (See chapter

Installation)

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

Turn the control anti-clockwise past the click position to "H". Unplug the power supply plug from the wall socket.

Using the freezer

To start the freezer and set the correct temperature

Turn the thermostat control to the desired position. MIN The l owest position of the thermostat control results in the highest temperature inside the cabinet. MAX The highest position of the thermostat control results in the lowest temperature inside the cabinet. H : Switched off. Allow the cabinet to run for a period of 24 hours whenever the temperature setting is changed. This will allow the temperature to stabilise inside the cabinet.

Electrolux 818 19 23-01/5

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.

Switching off

Turn the control anti-clockwise past the click position to "H". Unplug the power supply plug from the wall socket.

Alarms and other features

Freezing

Press the fast-freezing button approx. 24 hours prior to placing the food in the freezer. You need not press the fast-freezing button when freezing smaller quantities of food during any 24-hour period. Fast-freezing is automatically switched of apporox 50 hours after the button has been pressed. Fast-freezing can be discontinued by pressing the fast-freezing button once again. The yellow fast-freezing lamp remains lit as long as the fast-freezing button is engaged.

Practical advice on fr eezing

· When freezing products, use the top shelf, and if

necessary the shelf beneth that.

· 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.

· When freezing large amounts of food/provisions,

the accumulator moves to the tray/space nearest to the lower freezing shelf.

· 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.
