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.
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 plac-
ing the food to be frozen in the freezer compartment.
The maximum amount of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rating plate 4)
4) Refer to "Technical data"
The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during this period do not add other food to be frozen.
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 cooked immediately and then re-frozen (after cooling).
Freezing Calendar
The symbols show different types of frozen goods.
The numbers indicate storage times in months for the appropriate types of frozen goods. Whether the upper or lower value of the indicated storage time is valid depends on the quality of the foods and treating before freezing.
Opening and closing the lid
As the lid is equipped with a tightly closing seal, it is not easy to reopen it shortly after closing (due to the vacuum formed inside).
Wait a few minutes before reopening the appliance. The vacuum valve will help you to open the lid.
Warning! Never pull the handle with immense force.
Low frost System
The appliance is equipped with Low frost System (you can see a valve inside the freezer in the backside) what reduces ice-build-up in the chest freezer by up to 80 percent. That means for you up to 5 years without defrosting.
Storage baskets
Hang the baskets on the upper edge of the freezer (X) or place them inside the freezer (Y).

Turn and fix the handles for these two positions as shown in the picture.
The baskets will slide into each other.
The following pictures show how many baskets can be placed inside the various freezer models.

In order to close the freezer do these steps:
1.push the key into the lock gently.
2.turn the key clockwise towards the sym-
bol 
.
In order to open the freezer do these steps:

Plastic Low divider
With the low divider you can have a better use of the space above the compressor. The space formed this way will allow you to store small food packs that can be found more easily.
The separator may also be used as a tray at the time of defrosting the freezer.
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;
•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 lid 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
Caution! Do not use detergents, abrasive products, highly perfumed cleaning products or wax polishes to clean the inner side of the appliance. Prevent damage to the cooling system.
Important! There is no need to clean the compressor area.
1.Switch off the appliance.
2.Disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket.
3.Regularly clean the appliance and the accessories with warm water and neutral soap. Clean the lid seal carefully.
4.Fully dry the appliance.
5.Connect the mains plug to the mains socket.
6.Switch on the appliance.
Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners contain chemicals that can attack/damage the plastics used in this appliance. For this reason it is recommended that the outer casing of this appliance is only cleaned with warm water with a little washing-up liquid added.
Defrosting the freezer
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a thickness of about 10-15 mm.
The best time to defrost the freezer when it contains no or only a little food.
To remove the frost, do these steps:
1.Switch off the appliance.
2.Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and put it in a cool place.
3.Leave the lid open , remove the plug from the defrost water drain and collect all defrost water on a tray. Use a scraper to remove ice quickly.
4.When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thoroughly and refit the plug.
5.Switch on the appliance.
6.Set the temperature regulator to obtain the maximum coldness and run the appliance for two or three hours using this setting.
7.Reload the previously removed food into the compartment.
Important! Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost as you could damage the
electrolux 9
appliance. Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial means to speed up the thawing process other than those recommended by the manufacturer. A temperature rise of the frozen food packs, during defrosting, may shorten their safe storage life.
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long periods, take the following precautions:
1.Switch off the appliance.
2.Disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket.
3.Remove all food.
4.Defrost and clean the appliance and all accessories.
5.Leave the lid 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…
Caution! Before troubleshooting, disconnect the power supply.
Only a qualified electrician or competent person must do the troubleshooting that is not in this manual.
Important! There are some sounds during normal use (compressor, refrigerant circulation).

•Cet appareil est destiné uniquement à la conservation d’aliments et/ou de boissons dans le cadre d’un usage domestique normal, tel que celui décrit dans la présente notice.
•N'utilisez pas d'appareils électriques, d'agents chimiques ou tout autre système artificiel pour accélérer le processus de dégivrage.
•N’utilisez pas d'autres appareils électriques (par exemple, sorbetières) à l'intérieur d’appareils réfrigérants sauf s’ils sont homologués pour cet usage par leur fabricant.
•Faites très attention lorsque vous déplacez l'appareil afin de ne pas endommager des

parties du circuit de refroidissement et ainsi d'éviter des risques de fuite.
•Le circuit de refroidissement de l’appareil contient de l’isobutane (R600a), un gaz naturel offrant un haut niveau de compatibilité avec l’environnement mais qui est néanmoins inflammable.
Pendant le transport et l'installation de l’appareil, assurez-vous qu'aucune pièce du circuit de refroidissement n'est endommagée.
Si tel est le cas :
–Évitez les flammes vives (briquet) et tout autre allumage (étincelles).
–Aérez soigneusement la pièce où se trouve l'appareil.
•Ne modifiez pas les spécifications de l'appareil. Un cordon d'alimentation endommagé peut être la cause de courts-circuits, d'incendies et/ou de décharges électriques.
Avertissement Les composants électriques (cordon d'alimentation, prise, compresseur) doivent être remplacés par un technicien d’entretien agréé ou par un électricien spécialisé.
