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.

Using the fridge

To start the fridge and set the correct temperature

Switching on:

Switch on the fridge by pressing the power switch.

Setting the temperature

Press the buttons until the desired temperature flashes in the temperature display (The temperature can be set between +1°C and +9°C.) "+" raises the temperature. "-" lowers the temperature. Once set, the temperature display shows "-" until the temperature inside the fridge reaches +9°C or below. Allow the cabinet to run for a period of 24 hours whenever the t emperature setting is changed. This will allow the temperature to stabilise i nside the cabinet. It is not necessary to reset the temperature when the cabinet is switched on after it has been out of use. The thermostat recalls the previously set temperature.

Temperature inside the fridge

A suitable 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 affected by:

· How often the door is opened

· How much food is stored

· Position of the appliance (See chapter Installation)

-18

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.

Electrolux 818 38 28-01/4

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.

Power to the cabinet is completely interrupted only when the power plug is disconnected.

Alarms and other features

Door open alarm

If the fridge door remains open for more than 5 minutes, the red warning lamp starts flashing and an audible alarm sounds. To switch off the alarm: Press the "alarm shut-off button". The red warning lamp goes out when the door is closed.

Action cool

Use Action Cool to refrigerate a large quantity of products. When Action Cool is switched on, the temperature is automatically set to +2°C. "A" is t hen displayed in the t emperature display and the yellow indicator lamp lights. After about 6 hours, Action Cool is switched off and the temperature gradually returns to the previously set temperature. It is possible to switch off Action C ool manually by pressing the Action Cool button once more.

Cabinet interior

The shelves and door compartments are removable and can easily be re-arranged. Certain shelves must be lifted up by the rear edge to enable them to be removed. The lower door compartment and the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer must not be moved. They are required for proper air circulation inside t he cabinet. Shelves with a raised edge should be placed with the raised edge facing the rear wall of the cabinet, and thus prevent food products from touching the cooling plate.

The vegetable drawer has two moveable partitions with five different choices in order to separate different vegetables.

Electrolux 818 38 28-01/4

The vegetable drawer has a removable ventilation edging to increase the circulation of air and reduce the risk of condensation.

Setting the temperature

Press the buttons until the desired temperature blinks on the temperature display. (The temperature can be set between -15°C and -24°C.) "+" increases the temperature. "-" decreases the temperature.

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 i s normal that the built-in temperature display shows a temperature slightly above that measured in other ways.

Switching off

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

Power to the cabinet is completely interrupted only when the power plug is disconnected.
