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.

GB

Using the fridge/freezer

This cabinet is a combined freezer/freezer whereby both freezer/freezer compartments are operated by the same

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

Practical advice on freezing

· 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 in the
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.

A

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.

Cabinet interior

Freezer drawers

The freezer drawers make it possible to quickly and
easily find the food package you want. To gain
space, the drawers can be removed and the products
can be put directly on the shelves. On all shelves,
except the top shelf, it is possible to place products
that protrude 20 mm from the front edge. This
allows maximum use of the available space.
Do not remove the bottom drawer. It is required to
assure proper air circulation.

Thawing

It is best to thaw foods in refrigerator. Place the
foodstuff on a plate with a raised edge to prevent
liquids from running out. To quickly thaw food,
place it in room temperature or in cold water. When
using a microwave oven to thaw foodstuff, follow
the manufacturer's instructions.

Electrolux 818 39 45-00/8

6

Ice cubes

Fill the ice tray to max. 3/4 since water expands as it
freezes. Release the ice cubes by twisting the ice
tray.
If ice cubes are kept for a long time, they will dry
out and the taste is affected. Thus, throw away old
ice cubes and prepare new ones when needed.

Removable shelves

There are the removable shelves inside the freezer.
Remove the shelf when large food products need to
be frozen.

Cold accumulator

The cold accumulator will keep the food cold for
longer after a power failure. The cold accumulator
will be most effective when placed on the top shelf.
When freezing large amounts of food/provisions, the
accumulator moves to on top of the food.

Freezer tray

Use the freezer tray to freeze berries and vegetables.
After about 4 hours the food will be thoroughly
frozen and can then be packaged normally. Food
that is frozen in this way will not stick together,
enabling you to use only the amount required.

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 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 electronics recalls the previously set
temperature.

Temperature inside the fridge

A suitable temperature inside the fridge is approx.
+5°C. If the electronics 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.

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)

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 t o 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

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.

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

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 i s 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.

GB

· 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.

Food Storage

· To obtain the best results from your appliance,

neither hot foods nor liquids which may
evaporate, should be placed in the larder
compartment.

· Avoid buying frozen food if you can not store it

straight away. The use of an insulated container is
advisable. When you arrive home place the
frozen food in the freezer immediately.

· Ensure that food placed in the freezer is dated and

labelled and used in date order to ensure that food
is consumed at its best.

To obtain the best performance from the cabinet,
ensure:

· the cabinet is placed in a dry, cool place and

is not exposed to direct sunlight.

· the cabinet is not placed close to a source of

heat, e.g. a cooker or dishwasher.

· the cabinet is level. The cabinet should not lean

against any wall. If necessary adjust the
feet using the adjustment spanner supplied.

· there is good air circulation around the cabinet

and that the air channels below and behind
the cabinet are not blocked. The ventilation
space above the cabinet must be at least 4 cm.
The ventilation space can either be

a) directly above the cabinet, or
b) behind and above the top cupboard. In this case,

the space behind the cupboard must be at least
50 mm deep.

Cabinet is placed at a location whose ambient
temperature corresponds to the climate
classification*, for which the appliance is designed.
* See on the rating plate on the inside of the
appliance.
The following table shows which ambient
temperature is correct for each climate classification.

If the cabinet is placed in a corner and the side with
the hinges facing the wall, the distance between the
wall and the cabinet must be at least 230 mm to
allow the door to open enough so that the shelves
can be removed.
