FIRST USE
Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first time,
wash the interior and all internal accessories
with lukewarm water and some neutral soap
so as to remove the typical smell of a brandnew product, then dry thoroughly.
Important! Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these will damage the finish.
Check that the drain hose at the rear of the
cabinet discharges into the drip tray.
DAILY USE
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.
1. Press the Alarm button to switch off the
Alarm sound.
2. Close the door and the Alarm light will
switch off.

All parts inside the drawer can be removed
for cleaning purposes.
Taste Guard Filter
Your appliance is equipped with a carbon filter behind the air lever flap.
The filter purifies the air from unwanted
odours in the fridge compartment preserving
food quality.
On delivery the filter is in a plastic bag. Refer
to "Installation of the Taste Guard filter" for
instructions.
Important! Make sure that the air lever flap
is closed to obtain proper function.
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:
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.
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.
Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc..: these
should be covered and may be placed on any
shelf.
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. 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. If too cold,
change to a higher temperature setting.
Page 7
electrolux 7
Important! Do not place food against or
close to the temperature sensor. 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
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.
temperature can be monitored. The measuring shall be performed under steady-stated conditions (without changing the load).
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
paint, or stainless steel anti finger print
coating.
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to
the mains supply.
Replacing the Taste Guard filter
To get the best performance the Taste Guard
filter once every year.
New active filters can be purchased from
your local dealer.
Refer to "Installation of the Taste Guard filter"
for instructions.
Cleaning the ventilation grille
The ventilation grille can be removed for
washing.
Make sure the door is open and then:
Page 8
8 electrolux
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.
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 unpleasant 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.
WHAT TO DO IF…
During operation of the appliance some
smaller but annoying trouble can often occur,
which does not require calling a technician
out. In the following chart information is given
