SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

In the interest of your safety and to ensure
the correct use, before installing and first
using the appliance, read this user manual
carefully, including its hints and warnings.
To avoid unnecessary mistakes and acci­dents, it is important to ensure that all
people using the appliance are thoroughly
familiar with its operation and safety fea­tures. Save these instructions and make
sure that they remain with the appliance if

4. HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

ENGLISH 11

The refrigerator compartment is equipped
with a device that allows for rapid cooling
of foods and more uniform temperature in
the compartment.
This device activates by itself when nee­ded, for example for a quick temperature
recovering after door opening or when the
ambient temperature is high.
Allows you to switch on the device man­ually when needed (refer to FreeStore
mode).

The FreeStore device stops when the
door is open and restarts immediately af­ter the door closing.

4.1 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.

4.2 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

4.3 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.

4.4 Hints for freezing

To help you make the most of the freezing
process, here are some important hints:

www.electrolux.com

12

• 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 thor-

oughly 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 af-

ter removal from the freezer compart-

5. CARE AND CLEANING

ment, 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.

4.5 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.

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.

5.1 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.

Do not pull, move or damage any
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. This operation will improve
the performance of the appliance and
save electricity consumption.

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.

5.2 Replacing the carbon air

filter

To get the best performance the carbon
air filter should be changed once every
year.

5.3 Defrosting the refrigerator

5.4 Defrosting the freezer

A certain amount of frost will always form
on the freezer shelves and around the top
compartment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer
reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.

About 12 hours prior to defrost­ing, set the Temperature regulator
toward higher settings , in order to
build up sufficient chill reserve for
the interruption in operation.

To remove the frost, follow the instruc­tions below:

1.

Switch off the appliance.

2.

Remove any stored food, wrap it in
several layers of newspaper and put it
in a cool place.

CAUTION!

Do not touch frozen goods with
wet hands. Hands can freeze to
the goods.

3.

Leave the door open.

ENGLISH 13

New active air filters can be purchased
from your local dealer.
Refer to "Installation of the carbon air fil­ter" for the instructions.

The air filter is a consumable accessory
and as such is not covered by the guar­antee.

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 drain hole 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
refrigerator compartment channel to pre­vent the water overflowing and dripping
onto the food inside.

In order to speed up the defrost­ing process, place a pot of warm
water in the freezer compartment.
In addition, remove pieces of ice
that break away before defrosting
is complete.

4.

When defrosting is completed, dry
the interior thoroughly.

5.

Switch on the appliance.

6.

After two or three hours, reload the
previously removed food into the
compartment.

Never use sharp metal tools to
scrape off frost from the innerliner
as you could damage it.
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.

5.5 Periods of non-operation

When the appliance is not in use for long
periods, take the following precautions:

disconnect the appliance from elec-

•

tricity supply
