Important! Do not use detergents or abra­sive powders, as these will damage the fin­ish.

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.

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).

Helpful hints and tips

Normal Operating Sounds

• You may hear a faint gurgling and a bub­bling sound when the refrigerant is pum­ped through the coils or tubing. This is cor­rect.

• When the compressor is on, the refrigerant
is being pumped around and you will hear
a whirring sound and a pulsating noise
from the compressor. This is correct.

• The thermic dilatation might cause a sud­den cracking noise. It is natural, not dan­gerous physical phenomenon. This is cor­rect.

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

• p osit ion f ood s o tha t 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

The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:

• clean the inside and accessories with luke­warm water and some neutral soap.

• regularly check the door seals and wipe
clean to ensure they are clean and free
from debris.

• rinse and dry thoroughly.

electrolux 11

Important! Do no t p ul l, m ov e o r d ama ge an y
pipes and/or cables inside the cabinet.
Never use detergents, abrasive powders,
highly perfumed cleaning products or wax
polishes to clean the interior as this will dam­age the surface and leave a strong odour.

Clean the condenser (black grill) and the
compressor at the back of the appliance with
a brush or a vacuum cleaner. This operation
will improve the performance of the appli­ance and save electricity consumption.

Important! Take care of not to damage the
cooling system.

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.
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to
the mains supply.

Defrosting of the refrigerator

Frost is automatically eliminated from the
evaporator of the refrigerator compartment
every time the motor compressor stops, dur­ing normal use. The defrost water drains out
through a trough into a special container at
the back of the appliance, over the motor
compressor, where it evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the defrost
water drain hole in the middle of the refriger-

ator compartment channel to prevent the
water overflowing and dripping onto the food
inside. Use the special cleaner provided,
which you will find already inserted into the
drain hole.

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 compart­ment, driven by an automatically controlled
fan.

What to do if…
