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 +2°C and +8°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 t he 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. 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. Storage temperature in the cabinet is even on all of the shelf levels.

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.

· Also never put warm products into the cabinet. Wait until they have cooled down.

· Cover all foods properly.

This will be indicated in the symbol window with a "C" and by the yellow lamp being lit. When this function has been activated forced air will chill the groceries, and the temperature in the cabinet reset to +2°C. After 6 hours the Quick chill automatically shuts off and the temperature gradually goes back to its normal setting.

Carbon filter's function:

The built-in carbon filter means that strong smelling groceries can be placed near other groceries without affecting their taste or aroma.

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 the cabinet. Shelves with a raised edge should be placed with the raised edge facing the rear wall of the cabinet.

Electrolux 818 20 75-06/2

The vegetable drawer has a removable plate to separate different vegetables.

Quick chill shelf:

The lower Quick chill shelf can be placed in one of the upper grooves. To maintain the best performance the shelf should be placed in the second groove from the top.

Bottle- and can holder

The side of the bottle and can holder is moveable to enable a more flexible placement of cans and bottles in front of the grid. To allow the holder to be moved easier, when moving sideways, press the shelf backwards.
