top compartments.
The maximum amount of food that can be
frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rating
plate , a label located on the inside of the
appliance.
The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during
this period do not add other food to be fro­zen.

6 electrolux

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 at least 2
hours.

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

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.

Removal of freezing baskets from the
freezer

The freezing baskets have a limit stop to pre­vent their accidental removal or falling out. At
the time of its removal from the freezer, pull
the basket towards yourself and, upon
reaching the end point, remove the basket by
tilting its front upwards.
At the time of putting it back, slightly lift the
front of the basket to insert it into the freezer.
Once you are over the end points, push the
baskets back in their position.

Freezing baskets

The freezer baskets ensure that it is quick
and easy to find the food package you want.
To gain space, the baskets can be removed
and the food can be put directly on the
shelves. On all shelves, except the top shelf,
it is possible to place food that protrude 20
mm from the front edge. This allows maxi­mum use of the available space.

Important! Do not remove the bottom
basket to ensure correct air circulation.

Movable shelves

The walls of the refrigerator are equipped
with a series of runners so that the shelves
can be positioned as desired.
Some shelves must be lifted up by the rear
edge to enable them to be removed.

Important! Do not move the glass shelf
above the vegetable drawer to ensure
correct air circulation.

Bottle rack

Place the bottles (with the opening facing
front) in the pre-positioned shelf.

Important! If the shelf is positioned
horizontally, place only closed bottles.

This bottle holder shelf can be tilted in order
to store previously opened bottles. To obtain
this result, pull the shelf up so it can rotate
upwards and be placed on the next higher
level.

electrolux 7

Vegetable Drawer

The drawer is suitable for storing fruit and
vegetables.
Some models have a separator inside the
drawer that can be placed in different posi­tions to allow for the subdivision best suited
to personal needs.
All parts inside the drawer can be removed
for cleaning purposes.

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.

Important! Do not move the lower door shelf
to ensure correct air circulation.

Important! A few positions can't be used
due to interference with the temperature
sensor.

HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

Hints for energy saving

• Do not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than absolutely necessary.

• If the ambient temperature is high and the
Temperature Regulator is set to low tem­perature and the appliance is fully loaded,
the compressor may run continuously,
causing frost or ice on the evaporator. If
this happens, set the Temperature Regu­lator toward warmer settings to allow au­tomatic defrosting and so a saving in elec­tricity consumption.

Hints for 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
around it

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.

8 electrolux

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 temperature inside the fridge

• A suitable temperature inside the fridge is
approx. +5° C. It is normal with higher tem­perature in the top of the fridge and lower
temperature in the lower part. If the tem­perature regulator is set to a cold temper­ature, the ambient temperature is high or
if the fridge is fully loaded the compressor
will run for a longer time. This results in
colder temperature in the lower part of the
fridge due to the cold air that falls down. It
may result in that food with high water
content start to freeze. If too cold, change
to a higher temperature setting.

Important! Do not place any shelves
towards the water drain hole. This can result
in too cold temperatures.

• If you want to check the temperature of
food stored in the refrigerator, place a
glass of water centrally in the cabinet, and
put a proper thermometer with an accura­cy of +/– 1 °C into it. After 6 hours the
temperature can be monitored. The meas­uring shall be performed under steady-sta­ted conditions (without changing the load).

Hints for freezing

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

• 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 freezing in date
on each individual pack to enable you to
keep tab of the storage time.

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;

CARE AND CLEANING

Caution! Unplug the appliance before
carrying out any maintenance operation.

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

Periodic cleaning

The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:

• clean the inside and accessories with luke­warm water and some neutral soap.

• regularly check the door seals and wipe
clean to ensure they are clean and free
from debris.

• rinse and dry thoroughly.

Important! Do not pull, move or damage any
pipes and/or cables inside the cabinet.
Never use detergents, abrasive powders,
highly perfumed cleaning products or wax
polishes to clean the interior as this will dam­age the surface and leave a strong odour.

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 energy consumption.

Important! Take care of not to damage the
cooling system.

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

Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners
contain chemicals that can attack/damage
the plastics used in this appliance. For this
reason use a soft cloth rinsed in warm water
and neutral soap emulsion for cleaning ex­ternal surfaces.

Important! Do not use detergents or
abrasive paste as these will damage the

• Do not exceed the storage period indica­ted by the food manufacturer.

paint, or stainless steel anti finger print
coating.

After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to
the mains supply.

Cleaning the ventilation grille

The ventilation grille can be removed for
washing.
Make sure the door is open and then:

1. Loosen the upper edge of the grille by

pulling outward/downward.

2. Pull the grille straight out to completely

remove it.

3. Vacuum clean under the cabinet.

Defrosting the refrigerator

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 drain hole 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.

10 electrolux

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.
To remove the frost, follow the instructions
below:

• switch off the appliance and pull out the
plug from the wall socket

• remove any stored food, wrap it in several
layers of newspaper and put it in a cool
place

• remove the freezer drawers

• put insulating material around the drawers,
e.g. blankets or newspapers.

Defrosting can be accelerated by placing
bowls with hot water (not boiling) inside the
freezer.

• Loosen the drainage channel from its rest­ing position, push it in according to the il­lustration and place it in the bottom freezer
drawer where water can collect

• carefully scrape off the ice when it starts to
thaw. Use a wood or a plastic scraper

• when all the ice has melted, clean and wipe
the cabinet dry, then put the drainage
channel back in place.

• switch on the cabinet, insert the plug into
the wall socket and replace the frozen
foodstuff.

Important! Never use sharp metal tools to
scrape off frost from the evaporator as you
could damage it. Do not use a mechanical
device or any artificial means to speed up the
thawing process other than those
recommended by the manufacturer. A
temperature rise of the frozen food packs,
during defrosting, may shorten their safe
storage life.

Periods of non-operation

When the appliance is not in use for long pe­riods, take the following precautions:

1. disconnect the appliance from electricity

supply

2. remove all food

3. defrost and clean the appliance and all

accessories

4. leave the door/doors open to prevent un-

pleasant smells.

Important! 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.
