Temperature regulation
The temperature is automatically regulated. To operate the appliance, proceed as follows:
•turn the Temperature regulator toward lower settings to obtain the minimum coldness.
•turn the Temperature regulator toward higher settings to obtain the maximum coldness.
A medium setting is generally the most suitable.
However, the exact setting should be chosen keeping in mind that the temperature inside the appliance depends on:
•room temperature
•how often the door is opened
•the quantity of food stored
•the location of the appliance.
Important! If the ambient temperature is high or the appliance is fully loaded, and the appliance is set to the lowest temperatures, it may run continuously causing frost to form on the rear wall. In this case the dial must be set to a higher temperature to allow automatic defrosting and therefore reduced energy consumption.
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.

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 tem-
perature 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 au-
6 electrolux
tomatic 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:
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

FONCTIONNEMENT
Mise en fonctionnement
Branchez l'appareil sur une prise murale. Tournez le bouton du thermostat dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre sur une position moyenne.
Mise à l'arrêt
Pour mettre à l'arrêt l'appareil, tournez le bouton du thermostat sur la position "O".
Réglage de la température
La température est réglée automatiquement. Pour faire fonctionner l'appareil, procédez comme suit :
•tournez le bouton du thermostat vers le bas pour obtenir un réglage de froid minimum.
•tournez le bouton du thermostat vers le haut pour obtenir un réglage de froid maximum.
Une position moyenne est la plus indiquée.
Toutefois, le réglage doit être choisi en tenant compte du fait que la température à l'intérieur de l'appareil dépend de plusieurs facteurs :
•la température ambiante
•la fréquence d'ouverture de la porte
•la quantité de denrées stockées
•l'emplacement de l'appareil.

Important Si le thermostat est réglé sur la position de froid maximum, lorsque la température ambiante est élevée et que l'appareil est plein, il est possible que le compresseur fonctionne en régime continu. Dans ce cas, il y a un risque de formation
excessive de givre sur la paroi postérieure à l'intérieur de l'appareil. Pour éviter cet inconvénient, placez le thermostat sur une température plus élevée de façon à permettre un dégivrage automatique et, par conséquent, des économies de courant.
PREMIÈRE UTILISATION
Nettoyage intérieur
Avant d'utiliser l'appareil pour la première fois, nettoyez l'intérieur et tous les accessoires internes avec de l'eau tiède savonneuse pour supprimer l'odeur caractéristique du "neuf" puis séchez soigneusement.
Important N'utilisez pas de produits abrasifs, poudre à récurer, éponge métallique pour ne pas abîmer la finition.
UTILISATION QUOTIDIENNE
Congélation d'aliments frais
Le compartiment congélateur est idéal pour congeler des denrées fraîches et conserver les aliments surgelés ou congelés pendant longtemps.
Pour congeler les denrées fraîches, il n'est pas nécessaire de modifier le réglage moyen. Toutefois, pour une congélation plus rapide, tournez le bouton du thermostat vers le haut pour obtenir un réglage de froid maximum.
Important Dans ce cas, la température du compartiment réfrigérateur peut chuter audessous de 0°C. Si cela se produit, repositionnez le bouton du thermostat sur un réglage plus chaud.
Placez les denrées fraîches à congeler dans le compartiment supérieur.
Conservation des aliments congelés
À la mise en service ou après un arrêt prolongé, placez le thermostat sur la position Max pendant 2 heures environ, avant d'introduire les produits dans le compartiment congélateur.
Si vous devez stocker une grande quantité d'aliments, vous avez la possibilité de retirer tous les tiroirs et de placer directement les aliments sur les clayettes refroidissantes pour obtenir les meilleures performances possibles.
Avertissement Assurez-vous que la quantité d'aliments ne dépasse pas la charge limite indiquée sur le côté de la
section supérieure (le cas échéant) 
Important En cas de dégivrage accidentel, dû par exemple à une panne de courant, si la panne doit se prolonger plus de temps qu'il n'est prévu sous "augmentation du temps", dans les caractéristiques techniques, consommez les aliments décongelés le plus rapidement possible ou recongelez-les après les avoir cuits (une fois refroidis).
La décongélation
Les aliments surgelés ou congelés peuvent être décongelés dans le compartiment réfrigérateur ou à température ambiante, avant d'être utilisés, en fonction du temps disponible pour cette opération.
Les petites pièces peuvent même être cuites sans décongélation préalable : dans ce cas, la cuisson est plus longue.
Fabrication de glaçons
Cet appareil est équipé d'un ou de plusieurs bacs à glaçons. Remplissez d'eau ces bacs et mettez-les dans le compartiment congélateur.
Important N'utilisez pas d'instruments métalliques pour décoller les bacs du congélateur.
Clayettes amovibles
Les parois du réfrigérateur sont équipées d'une série de glissières pour que les clayettes puissent être placées en fonction des besoins.
Pour exploiter au mieux l'espace, vous pouvez placer les demi-clayettes avant au dessus des clayettes arrière.
