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.

DAILY USE

Freezing fresh food

The freezer compartment is suitable for
freezing fresh food and storing frozen and
deep-frozen food for a long time.
To freeze fresh food activate the Action
Freeze function at least 24 hours before plac­ing the food to be frozen in the freezer com­partment.
Place the fresh food to be frozen in the in the
upper part of the freezer, as this is the coldest
point.
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.

cooked immediately and then re-frozen (after
cooling).

Ice-cube production

This appliance is equipped with one or more
trays for the production of ice-cubes. Fill
these trays with water, then put them in the
freezer compartment.

Important! Do not use metallic instruments
to remove the trays from the freezer.

Cold accumulators

The freezer contains at least one cold accu­mulator which increases storage time in the
event of a power cut or breakdown.

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.

Movable shelves

The walls of the refrigerator are equipped
with a series of runners so that the shelves
can be positioned as desired.
For better use of space, the front half-shelves
can lie over the rear ones.

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 on the higher settings.

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

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.

Carbon Air Filter

Your appliance is equipped with a carbon fil­ter behind a flap in the rear wall of the fridge
compartment.
The filter purifies the air from unwanted
odours in the fridge and Natura fresh
0°Ccompartment meaning that the storage
quality will be further improved.

electrolux 7

Important! During the operation, always
keep the air ventilation flap closed.

Natura fresh 0°C Compartment

In the Natura fresh 0°C compartment the
temperature is controlled automatically. It
stays constantly at about 0°C, no adjustment
is necessary.
The constant storage temperature of about
0°C and the relative humidity of between 45
and 90 % provide optimal conditions for the
various kinds of food.

Important!

You can therefore store a variety of fresh food
in the Natura fresh 0°C compartment, where
it will last up to 3 times longer with better
quality compared to normal refrigerator com­partments. This allows you to stock more
fresh food. Taste, degree of freshness, qual­ity and nutritional values (vitamins and min­erals) are well preserved. Loss of weight in
vegetables and fruit diminishes. Food yields
a higher degree of nutritional value.

Important!

The Natura fresh 0°C compartment is also
suitable for defrosting food.
In this case the thawed food can be stored
up to two days .

Humidity control

Both drawers can be used according to the
desired storage conditions independently of
each other with lower or higher humidity.
Regulation for each drawer is separate and
is controlled using the slide valve at the front
of the drawer.

• „Dry“: low air humidity - up to 50 % relative
humidity
This humidity level is reached when both

sliders are set into this position

and the

ventilation openings are wide open.

• Humid“: high relative humidity - up to 90%

8 electrolux

This humidity level is reached when both
sliders are set in this position

and the
ventilation openings are closed. Humidity
is kept and can not escape.

Not to be placed in the NATURAFRESH 0°C
compartment:

• cold sensitive fruit which have to be stored
at cellar or room temperature like pineap­ple, bananas, grapefruit, melons, mango,
papaya, oranges, lemons, kiwi fruit.

• The types of food not mentioned above
should be stored in the refrigerator com­partment (e.g. all sorts of cheese, cold
cuts, etc.)

Important!

The level of air humidity in the drawers de­pends on the content of humidity in the stor­ed food, vegetable and fruit and on the fre­quency of door opening
The NATURAFRESH 0°C compartment is al­so suitable for slow thawing of food. In this
case the thawed food can be stored in the
NATURAFRESH 0°C compartment for up to
two days.

Tips:

• Pay attention to the freshness of the food,
especially on the expiry date. Quality and
freshness influence the storage time.

• The whole storage cycle time will depend
on the preservation conditions made prior
to the final storage in the fridge.

• Food, fruit or vegetables should always be
packed or wrapped up before storage.

• Animal food always store packed and dry.

• Food rich in proteins will go bad quicker.
This means seafood will spoil before fish
which in turn will spoil before meat. While
storing food in a NATURAFRESH 0°C
compartment storage time for that kind of
food can be increased by up to three times
as well without loss on quality.

• All food stored in a NATURAFRESH 0°C
compartment should be taken out of the
drawers roughly 15-30 min before con­sumption, particularly fruit and vegetables
to be consumed without any additional
cooking process. Allowing fruit and vege­tables to return to room temperature will
improve the texture and flavour.

Drawer

The wire shelves inside the drawers permit
that air can circulate freely and consequently
a better conservation of foods.
The compartment has stops to prevent the
drawers from falling out when fully extended.
To remove the drawers (e.g. for cleaning pur­poses), pull them out as far as the stops, lift
and extract.. .

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:

10 electrolux

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.
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 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;

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

• Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly
and cannot be refrozen.

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

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:

Important! During the operation, always
keep the air ventilation flap closed.
The air filter should be handled carefully to
prevent its surface from being scratched.

Defrosting of the refrigerator

Defrosting of the fridge compartment is au­tomatic.
The water that forms flows into a recipient on
the compressor and evaporates. This recip­ient cannot be removed.

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:

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

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

• leave the door open and insert the plastic
scraper in the appropriate seating at the
bottom centre, placing a basin underneath
to collect the defrost water
