Before use
Position and clean the cabinet as explained in the
section "Installation".
Check that the drain hose at the rear of the cabinet
discharges into the drip tray.
Before inserting the power plug into the
outlet and switching on the cabinet for
the first time, leave it standing upright
for about 4 hours. Otherwise the
compressor may sustain damage. This
time will allow the oil sufficient time to
return to the compressor.
Using the fridge
To start the fridge and set the
correct temperature
Turn the thermostat control to the desired position.
MIN The lowest position of the thermostat control
results in the highest temperature inside the cabinet.
MAX The highest position of the thermostat control
results in the lowest temperature inside the cabinet.

Allow the cabinet to run for a period of 24 hours
whenever the temperature setting is changed. This
will allow the temperature to stabilise inside the
cabinet.
Switching off
Turn the control anti-clockwise past the click
position to "•".
Remove the power supply plug from the wall socket.
Temperature inside the fridge
A suitable temperature inside the fridge is approx.
+5°C. If the thermostat control is set to a too cold
temperature, food with a high water content may
start to freeze if it has been placed in the coldest
places in the fridge. The picture shows the coldest
and warmest places inside the fridge.
(+ warm, - cold)
Meat, fish and milk should be put in the coldest part
of the cabinet.
The temperature will be affected by:
· How often the door is opened
· How much food is stored
· Position of the appliance (See chapter
Installation)

Measuring the temperature
If the temperature is measured using a standard,
single thermometer, this should be put in a glass of
water centrally placed inside the cabinet. This will
reflect the temperature inside the food products. Do
not place the thermometer hanging or lying directly
on the shelf.
Hints:
· Distribute foodstuffs to allow cold air to
circulate freely between the products.
· Do not place food products directly against the
cooling plate on the rear wall since they may
freeze in this case.
· Also never put warm products into the cabinet.
Wait until they have cooled down.
· Cover all foods properly to avoid odours and
flavours from tainting other food.
Cabinet interior
The shelves and door compartments are removable
and can easily be re-arranged.
Certain shelves must be lifted up by the rear edge to
enable them to be removed.
The lower door compartment and the glass shelf
above the vegetable drawer must not be moved.
They are required for proper air circulation inside the
cabinet.
Shelves with a raised edge should be placed with the
raised edge facing the rear wall of the cabinet, and
thus prevent food products from touching the
cooling plate.
21
Electrolux 818 38 51-00/8
The vegetable drawer has two moveable partitions
with five different choices in order to separate
different vegetables.
The vegetable drawer has a ventilation edging to
increase the circulation of air and reduce the risk of
condensation.
Hints and Tips
Saving energy
· Pay careful attention to where the cabinet is
placed. See the section "Installation". When
installed correctly, the cabinet will consume less
energy.
· Try to avoid keeping the door open for long
periods, or opening the door too frequently as
warm air will enter the cabinet, and cause the
compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
· Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the
door from closing properly.
· Thaw frozen food in the fridge. This will ensure
safer defrosting of foods and reduce the work of
the refrigeration unit
· It is advisable to periodically clean the
refrigeration system at the back of the appliance
with a duster or vacuum cleaner.
· Always leave warm food to cool down to room
temperature before placing in the fridge.
· Make sure the door gasket is complete and
always clean.
Food Storage
· To obtain the best results from your appliance,
neither hot foods nor liquids which may
evaporate, should be placed in the larder
compartment.
· Avoid buying frozen food if you can not store it
straight away. The use of an insulated container is
advisable. When you arrive home place the
frozen food in the freezer immediately.
· Ensure that food placed in the freezer is dated and
labelled and used in date order t o ensure t hat food
is consumed at its best.
Remove suspect food from you refrigerator and
clean, refer to cleaning and maintenance.
Protect the environment
· Hand over the cabinet packaging and discarded
fridges and freezers to a recycling station.
Contact your local council or Environmental
Health office for more information.
· Keep foodstuff in re-usable containers. Cut down
on disposable material as much as possible.
· When cleaning the cabinet, use a mild
washing-up detergent.
· Follow the advice in the section "Saving energy"
· The door gasket and coolant used in this
cabinet will not harm the ozone layer.
· All parts in the packaging can be recycled.
· The cabinet has been designed for easy
dismantling and subsequent recycling.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Removing the ventilation grille
The ventilation grille can be removed, e.g. to wash
the grille.
Make sure the door is open when removing the
ventilation grille. Unsnap the upper edge of the grille
by pulling outward/downward. Then pull the grille
straight out to completely remove it.
22
GB
Electrolux 818 38 51-00/8
Cleaning
Clean the cabinet at regular intervals.
Don't use detergents, abrasive powders,
high perfumed cleaning products, wax
polishes or cleaning products
containing bleach or alcohol when
cleaning the product
Disconnect the appliance from electricity supply.
Clean out the drip channel inside the fridge at
regular intervals and ensure that the drip channel is
clear at all times. If blocked carefully clear using a
piece of flexible curtain wire inserted into the drain
outlet to remove the blockage.
Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water.
Remove the ventilation grille (see the section
"Removing the ventilation grille") and vacuum-clean
under the cabinet. Once or twice a year dust the
condenser (black grille) and the compressor at the
back of the appliance, with a brush or vacuum
cleaner, as an accumulation of dust will affect the
performance of the appliance and cause excessive
electricity consumption.
When moving the cabinet, lift it by
the front edge to avoid scratching the
floor.
Defrosting the fridge
The fridge is defrosted automatically every time the
compressor stops. Frost formation can be prevented
by:
· not putting warm foodstuff inside the cabinet.
· avoiding frequently opening the door or keeping
it open too long.
· do not place foodstuffs directly against the cold
cooling plate.
To change the light bulb
The light is switched on automatically when the
door is opened. Before replacing the light bulb,
disconnect the power plug from the outlet.
Press the spring together and pull the grille
downward at t he same time.
Use a bulb of the same type, E14 socket, maximum
ratingof15W.
When the appliance is not in use
Disconnect the appliance from electricity supply.
Empty all foods and clean the appliance, leaving the
doors ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.
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.

Installing the cabinet
When two appliances are placed beside each other,
the distances enclosed in the plastic wrapping should
be glued between the appliances. As shown i n the
illustration.
To obtain the best performance from the cabinet,
ensure :
· the cabinet is placed in a dry, cool place and
is not exposed to direct sunlight.
· the cabinet is not placed close to a source of
heat, e.g. a cooker or dishwasher.
· the cabinet is level. The cabinet should not lean
against any wall. If necessary adjust the
feet using the adjustment spanner supplied.
· there is good air circulation around the cabinet
and that the air channels below and behind
the cabinet are not blocked. The ventilation
space above the cabinet must be at least 4 cm.
The ventilation space can either be
a) directly above the cabinet, or
b) behind and above the top cupboard. In this case,
the space behind the cupboard must be at least
50 mm deep.
Cabinet is placed at a location whose ambient
temperature corresponds to the climate
classification*, for which the appliance i s designed.
* See on the rating plate on the inside of the
appliance.
