Use of the freezer compartment
The symbol
freezer is suitable for freezing fresh food and
for long term storage. The temperature may
be regulated between -15°C and -24°C. We
suggest setting the temperature to -18°C,
which is optimal for energy consumption and
frozen food storage.
Important! At start-up the displayed
temperature don't correspond with the set
temperature until stabilised (within 24 hours).
Difference between the temperature displayed and temperature setting is normal.
Especially when:
• a new setting has recently been selected
• the door has been left open for a long time
• warm food has been placed in the compartment.
Difference until 5°C inside the compartment
are quite normal.
During normal functioning the indicator
shows the warmest temperature inside the
compartment.
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.

ance and place food on cooling shelves to
obtain the best performance.
Warning! Make sure that foods do not
exceed the load limit stated on the side
of the upper section (where applicable)
Important! In the event of accidental
defrosting, for example due to a power
failure, if the power has been off for longer
that the value shown in the technical
characteristics chart under "rising time", the
defrosted food must be consumed quickly or
cooked immediately and then re-frozen (after
cooling).
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.
Cold accumulators
The freezer contains at least one cold accumulator which increases storage time in the
event of a power cut or breakdown.
Helpful Hints and Tips
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;
electrolux 7
• 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.

warm water with a little washing-up liquid
added.
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to
the mains supply.
Defrosting of the freezer
The freezer compartment of this model, on
the other hand, is a "no frost" type. This
means that there is no buildup of frost when
it is in operation, neither on the internal walls
nor on the foods.
The absence of frost is due to the continuous
circulation of cold air inside the compart-
8 electrolux
ment, driven by an automatically controlled
fan.
