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.

Electrolux 818 19 23-01/5

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.

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.

· 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.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Please observe that the care advice in this chapter is general. Some interior parts cannot for example be washed, advice on cleaning these fixtures is given in section ”optional --equipment”. Therefore, please read the instructions manual through carefully before use.

Removing the ventilation grille

The ventilation grille can be removed, e.g. to wash the grille. Unsnap the ventilation grille by pulling it toward you.

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. Fold the grille backward by unsnapping the front edge. Use a bulb of the same type, E14 socket, maximum ratingof25W. When replacing the light bulb, use a bulb of the same type as the original one. The glass must measure at least 18 mm in diameter at the socket. This will ensure close fitting of the bulb against the rubber seal in the socket.

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 accossories 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 affect the performance of the appliance and cause excessive electricity consumption.

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

Electrolux 818 19 23-01/5

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.

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.
