Practical advice on freezing
· When freezing products, use the top shelves.
- When freezing large amounts of food/provisions,
the accumulator moves to on top of the food.
- Do not cover the air hole on the rear wall.
· 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.
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.
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.
Cabinet interior
Freezer drawers
The freezer drawers make that it easy to quickly and
easily find the food package you want. In order to
obtain maximum space, all fittings except the top
door and the lower box can be removed and filled
with groceries up to the indicated loading limit.
Cold accumulator
The cold accumulator will keep the food cold for
longer after a power failure. The cold accumulator
will be most effective when placed on the top shelf.
When freezing large amounts of food/provisions, the
accumulator moves to on top of the food.
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.
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.
Removable shelves
There are the removable shelves inside the freezer.
Remove the shelf when large food products need to
be frozen.

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 t he 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.
· 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 .

to -20°C .
· 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 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 i nformation.
· 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.

Electrolux 818 38 32-00/8
External Cleaning
Use water/neutral soap emulsion for cleaning the
surface of stainless steel, anti-finger-print coated.
Absolutely not to use abrasive paste.
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.
Defrosting
Defrosting is not necessary.
Every 24 hours, the evaporator is defrosted
automatically.
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.
Keep the packaging on to hold the bulb when setting
it into the socket. Do not touch the bulb with your
bare fingers. Halogen light bulbs are sensitive to
grease from the skin.
