HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

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.

electrolux 7

• rinse and dry thoroughly.
Important! Do no t p ull , m ov e or da ma ge a ny

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 energy consumption.

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

Important! When moving the cabinet, lift it
by the front edge to avoid scratching the
floor.

Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners
contain chemicals that can attack/damage
the plastics used in this appliance. For this
reason use a soft cloth rinsed in warm water
and neutral soap emulsion for cleaning ex­ternal surfaces.

Important! Do not use detergents or
abrasive paste as these will damage the
paint, or stainless steel anti finger print
coating.

After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to
the mains supply.

Cleaning the ventilation grille

The ventilation grille can be removed for
washing.
Make sure the door is open and then:

1. Loosen the upper edge of the grille by
pulling outward/downward.

2. Pull the grille straight out to completely
remove it.

3. Vacuum clean under the cabinet.

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.

Periods of non-operation

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

1. disconnect the appliance from electricity
supply

2. remove all food

3. clean the appliance and all accessories

4. leave the door/doors open to prevent un­pleasant smells.

Important! 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.

WHAT TO DO IF…

During operation of the appliance some
smaller but annoying trouble can often occur,
which does not require calling a technician
out. In the following chart information is given
about them to avoid unnecessary charges on
service.

Important! The operation of the appliance
goes with certain sounds (compressor and

circulating sound). This not means a trouble,
but a normal operation.

Important! The appliance operates
discontinuously, so the stopping of
compressor does not mean being no
current. That is why you must not touch the
electrical parts of the appliance before
breaking the circuit.
