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).
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 halfshelves can lie over the rear ones.
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.

Important!
Cakes containing cream and other kinds of pastry products can be stored in the NA-
TURAFRESH 0°C compartment for 2 or 3 days.
Important!
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.
electrolux 9
•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 au-
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
10 electrolux
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.
