Practical advice on freezing
·When freezing products, use the top shelf, and if
necessary the shelf beneath as this is the coldest
part. .
-Place the foods directly on the freezer shelves.
·Spread out the products as much as possible to
allow air to circulate between them.
·Do not place food products which are to be
frozen directly against other frozen food.
The heat from the unfrozen food may cause
the frozen food to thaw on the surface.
·Once frozen, re-arrange the products and put
them as close as possible to each other.
The food will then stay cold longer in the
event of a power failure.
·Do not freeze too much food at the same time.
The freezing capacity of the unit is indicated in
the specifications section.
Suitable storage periods
Food purchased in frozen condition: Follow the
advice on the maximum storage period indicated on
the packaging.
Fresh food frozen at home:
Fatty and salty food should not be kept frozen for
more than three months. Cooked food and low-fat
food may be kept up to about six months. Lean food
and berries can be kept for approximately one year.
Check that the cabinet is operating and
keeps the set temperature one day after
switching it on for the first time. Only
after then should the freezer be used to
freeze fresh foodstuff.
Thawing
It is best to thaw foods in refrigerator. Place the
foodstuff on a plate with a raised edge to prevent
liquids from running out. To quickly thaw food,
place it in room temperature or in cold water. When
using a microwave oven to thaw foodstuff, follow
the manufacturer's instructions.
Cabinet interior
Freezer drawers
The freezer drawers make it possible to quickly and
easily find the food package you want. To gain
space, the drawers can be removed and the products
can be put directly on the shelves. On all shelves,
except the top shelf, it is possible to place products
that protrude 20 mm from the front edge. This
allows maximum use of the available space.
Do not remove the bottom drawer. It is required to
assure proper air circulation.
Freezer tray
Use the freezer tray to freeze berries and vegetables.
After about 4 hours the food will be thoroughly
frozen and can then be packaged normally. Food
that is frozen in this way will not stick together,
enabling you to use only the amount required.
Ice cubes
Fill the ice tray to max. 3/4 since water expands as it
freezes. Release the ice cubes by twisting the ice
tray.
If ice cubes are kept for a long time, they will dry
out and the taste is affected. Thus, throw away old
ice cubes and prepare new ones when needed.

Hints and Tips
GB
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.
·Food which is to be frozen (when cool) should
be placed in the fridge before being transfered to
the freezer.
·Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by
packing all foodstuffs into airtight packages
before placing them in the freezer.
·Carefully follow the advice on freezing products
in the section "Using the freezer". This will
prevent wasting energy.
·Do not set the temperature too low in the freezer.
A suitable temperature is in the range of -18°C
to -20°C .
·Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a
thickness of 3-5 mm.
·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 m ay
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 to ensure that 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.

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 the inside and accessories with warm water
and bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0,5 litre water)
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to
ensure they are clean and free from debris.
”Natura--fresh” drawer.
Pull out the drawer.
Lift it over the locks in back on the sliding guides.
Tip drawer downwards and pull it out.
Pull out the dividing plater.
Clean whit soft detergent, and rinse whit lukewarm
water.
Assemble in reverse order.
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 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.
Remove the freezer drawers and place them on top
of each other by turning every other drawer one half
turn. Put insulating material around the drawers, e.g.
blankets or newspapers.
The frozen products can also be packed closely
together and be kept in a cold location, e.g. in the
fridge.
Defrosting can be accelerated by placing bowls with
hot water (not boiling) inside the freezer.
Loosen the drainage channel from its resting
position and push in according to the illustration and
place it in the bottom freezer drawer where water can
collect.
Carefully scrape off the ice when it starts to thaw.
Use a wood or plastic scraper. Do not use sharp
objects as these may damage the interior.
When all the ice has melted, clean and wipe the
cabinet dry, then put the drainage channel back in
place.
Switch on the cabinet and replace the frozen
foodstuff.
Never use a hair drier or other heating
appliances to speed up defrosting. Excessive
heat may damage the plastic interior, and
humidity could enter the electric appliance
making it live.

Electrolux 818 37 13-02/6
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.
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.
Cut the packaging around the bulb socket.
