IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTION BOOK BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE

IMPORTANT USER INFORMATION

It is most important that this instruction book should be retained with the appliance for future reference. Should the
appliance be sold or transferred to another owner or should you move house and leave the appliance, always ensure
that the book is supplied with the appliance in order that the new owner can be acquainted with the functioning of the
appliance and the relevant warnings.
These warnings are provided in the interest of safety. You must read them carefully before installing or using the appliance.

This product is designed to be operated by adults.
Children should not be allowed to tamper with the
controls or play with the product.

Any electrical work required to install this appliance
should be carried out by a qualified electrician.

This product should be serviced by an authorised
Electrolux Service Engineer, and only genuine
Electrolux spare parts should be used.

Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance
does not stand on the electrical supply cable.

Electrolux refrigerators are designed to be used
specifically for the storage of edible foodstuffs only.

There are working parts in this product which heat
up. Always ensure that there is adequate ventilation
as a failure to do this will result in component failure
and possible food loss. See installation instructions.

Parts which heat up should not be exposed.
Wherever possible the back of the product should
be close to a wall but leaving the required distance
for ventilation as stated in the installation
instructions.

Before defrosting, cleaning or maintenance work is
carried out, be sure to switch off the appliance and
unplug it.

The ice box in this appliance contains tubes through
which the refrigerant passes. If these are punctured
this would cause substantial damage and result in
food loss. DO NOT USE SHARP INSTRUMENTS to
scrape off frost or ice. Under no circumstances
should solid ice be forced off the ice box. Solid ice
should be allowed to thaw when defrosting the
appliance. See defrost instructions.

The appliance should be left for 2 hours after
installation before it is turned on in order to allow
refrigerant to settle, unless it is of the absorption
type in which case it can be turned on immediately.

This appliance is heavy. Care should be taken when
moving it.

Ice lollies can cause frost burns if consumed
straight from the freezer.

Frozen food must not be refrozen once it has
thawed out.

Manufacturer's food storage recommendations
should be strictly adhered to. Refer to relevant
instructions.

Do not place carbonated of fizzy drinks in the
freezer as is creates pressure on the container
which may cause it to explode resulting in damage
to the appliance.

Under no circumstances should you attempt to
repair the appliance yourself. Repairs carried out by
inexperienced persons may cause injury or more
serious malfunctioning. Refer to your local
Electrolux Service Centre and always insist on
genuine Electrolux spare parts.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

It's important that you read this handbook before
installing and using your new refrigerator.
SAFETY NOTE: If this refrigerator is replacing a larger
one which is going to be scrapped, remove the door
before disposal to prevent children from becoming
trapped inside.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

The refrigerator is equipped with an electrically heated
absorption cooling unit which is virtually silent in
operation. The fridge is designed for free-standing
installation, but can be built-in if the following conditions
are complied with to ensure satisfactory operation and
maximum cooling efficiency.

1) The fridge must be level in both directions.

2) There must be an air duct at the back of the housing
to provide sufficient air-flow over the cooling unit to
carry away heat generated during the cooling
process. The entire cooling unit should project into
the duct and the air passing through the dust must
not be pre-heated by radiators. T.V. sets or any
other sources of heat.

Two refrigerators should not be built-in, one on top
of the other, unless separate air ducts are provided
for each.

3) When built-in, for future servicing requirements, it
must be possible for the refrigerator to be easily
removed, without damaging the fitment in which it is
housed.

The illustrations on page 47 show 3 different ways of
building-in the refrigerator.

With the refrigerator standing on a shelf - Figure 1

The opening at the back for the passage of air must be
at least 105 mm deep. This can be achieved by using
105 mm opening immediately under the cooling unit.
Alternatively, the shelf can be supported on battens at
the sides, screwed to adjacent fitments, or on legs,
leaving a completely unobstructed opening underneath
the cooling unit for the full width of the refrigerator,
allowing maximum air-flow.
If a ventilation grill is fitted at the top, it must have a free
space of at least 200 cm2 for the ventilating air to
escape.

With the refrigerator built into a housing - Figures 2
and 3.

The ventilation duct at the back of the recess must be at
least 105 mm deep and extend the full width of the
refrigerator - 425 mm minimum.
If the inlet and/or outlet openings at the bottom and top
of the duct are fitted with decorative grilles, the free
space through each grille must not be less than 200
cm2 so that the air-flow is not restricted.

Door hang and outer door panel

The chosen position for your fridge may make it
preferable to change over the door hinges to reverse
the door hang. To do this, refer to page 5.
If you wish, the outer door panel can be removed and
replaced by another (not supplied by Electrolux) to
match existing decor in your room instructions for doing
this are also given on page 5.

Connecting to the mains

The refrigerator must only be connected to the
electricity supply using an earthed socket outlet,
installed in accordance with local regulations. Before
connecting the refrigerator, check from the data label
inside the cabinet that the voltage agree with your mains
supply.

Plug connection (for United Kingdom only)

If a 3 pin 13 amp fused plug is used, it should be fitted
with a 3 amp fuse; with other plug types, the circuit
should contain a 5 am fuse.
This appliance conforms with the requirements of EEC
Directive No. 89/336 relating to radio interference.

Warning - This appliance must be earthed.

MOULDED - ON PLUG

The mains lead is fitted with a non-rewirable moulded­on 13 amp plug containing a 3 amp fuse. If the fuse
requires replacing at any time, the fuse cover/carrier
should be removed using a small screwdriver to lever
it out. The old fuse should be replaced by a 3 amp
ASTA approved BS1362 fuse and the fuse
cover/carrier must be refitted before the plug is used
again.
If the fuse cover-carrier is lost, a replacement can be
obtained from the Electrolux Service Shops. The fuse
cover/carrier must be of the same colour as that of the
coloured insert in the base of the plug. In no
circumstances must the plug be used without a correct
fuse cover/carrier fitted.
If the plug supplied on the mains lead is not suitable for
the socket in your home, it should be cut off and
disposed of safety, or destroyed, to avoid any possible
shock hazard resulting from the plug being inserted
into a 13 amp socket elsewhere in the house. A
suitable replacement plug should then be fitted as
given below.

IMPORTANT

The wires in the mains lead of this appliance are
coloured in accordance with the following code:

GREEN-and-YELLOW : EARTH

BLUE : NEUTRAL

BROWN : LIVE

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not
correspond with the coloured markings identifying the
terminals in your plug, proceed as follows.
Connect the GREEN-and-YELLOW coloured wire to the
plug terminal marked letter E or earth symbol or
coloured green or green-and-yellow.
Connect the BROWN coloured wire to the plug terminal
marked letter L or coloured red.
Connect the BLUE coloured wire to the plug terminal
marked letter N or coloured black.

STARTING THE REFRIGERATOR

To start the fridge, plug into the socket outlet, switch on,
and turn the thermostat dial (inside the cabinet) to
setting number 3 or 4. There will be signs of cooling in
about an hour. Note that the fridge has an absorption
type of cooling unit, which is virtually silent in operation.
You will not therefore hear anything start up when the
fridge is switched on.
On the Auto-Defrost versions there also will be signs of
cooling after about one hour, unless by coincidence the
time switch is at a defrost cycle when first switched on
in which case 2 or 3 hours may elapse before cooling
starts to take place.
The refrigerator temperature will be affected by
location, room temperature, and frequency of door
opening and adjustment of the thermostat dial may be
needed to allow for this.

Temperature control

The temperature in the fridge is from 0° to 7°C and
inside the frozen food storage compartment on model
EA0600C/601C/602C/EA3200 is -12° or below,
when you set the thermostat dial to 3 or 4, in normal
ambient temperatures.
If colder temperatures are needed in the fridge turn the
thermostat dial clockwise to a higher number: if less
cooling is required, turn the dial anti-clockwise to a
lower number.

USING THE FRIDGE

The fridge compartment provides suitable storage for
most kinds of food, milk, drinks, etc and door shelves
are provided in the 60 litre models for bottles, jars, and
small packets.
Ideally, all foods should be in covered containers or
plastic bags, or wrapped in foil
or plastic film. Liquids should also be covered. This is to
prevent flavours passing from one item to another and
also to reduce frost build-up on the cooling surfaces
due to moisture coming from stored items.
Suggested storage times for fresh foods
Storage times will vary according to the type of food and
how fresh it is when put into the fridge but no food
should be stored for longer than the times stated below:

Suggested maximum storage times:

Type of food Storage time
Uncooked fresh meat

poultry, beef and lamb 3-5 days
pork 2-4 days
sausages 3 days
mince & offal 1-2 days
