SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

In the interest of your safety and to ensure
the correct use, before installing and first
using the appliance, read this user manual
carefully, including its hints and warnings.
To avoid unnecessary mistakes and acci­dents, it is important to ensure that all
people using the appliance are thoroughly
familiar with its operation and safety fea­tures. Save these instructions and make
sure that they remain with the appliance if
it is moved or sold, so that everyone using
it through its life will be properly informed
on appliance use and safety.
For the safety of life and property keep
the precautions of these user's instruc­tions as the manufacturer is not responsi­ble for damages caused by omission.

1.1 Children and vulnerable
people safety

• This appliance is not intended for use
by persons (including children) with re­duced physical, sensory or mental ca­pabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been giv­en supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person re­sponsible for their safety.

Children should be supervised to en­sure that they do not play with the ap­pliance.

• Keep all packaging well away from chil­dren. There is risk of suffocation.

• If you are discarding the appliance pull
the plug out of the socket, cut the con­nection cable (as close to the appliance
as you can) and remove the door to
prevent playing children to suffer elec­tric shock or to close themselves into it.

• If this appliance featuring magnetic
door seals is to replace an older appli­ance having a spring lock (latch) on the

3.1 Freezing fresh food

The freezer compartment is suitable for
freezing fresh food and storing frozen and
deep-frozen food for a long time.
To freeze small amount of fresh foods it is
not necessary to change the present set­ting.
To freeze fresh food activate the Action
Freeze function 24 hours before placing
the food to be frozen in the freezer com­partment.
It is possible to place the fresh food to be
frozen in all compartments except the
lowest.
The maximum amount of food that can be
frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rat-
ing plate, a label located on the inside of
the appliance.
The freezing process lasts 24 hours: dur­ing this period do not add other food to
be frozen.

3.2 Storage of frozen food

When first starting-up or after a period out
of use, before putting the products in the
compartment let the appliance run at least
2 hours.
The freezer baskets ensure that it is quick
and easy to find the food package you
want. If large quantities of food are to be
stored, remove all drawers except for the

bottom basket which needs to be in place
to provide good air circulation. On all
shelves except for the top shelf it is possi­ble to place food that protrude 15 mm
from the door.

In the event of accidental defrost­ing, for example due to a power
failure, if the power has been off
for longer that the value shown in
the technical characteristics chart
under "rising time", the defrosted
food must be consumed quickly
or cooked immediately and then
re-frozen (after cooling).

3.3 Thawing

Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being
used, can be thawed in the refrigerator
compartment or at room temperature, de­pending on the time available for this op­eration.
Small pieces may even be cooked still fro­zen, directly from the freezer: in this case,
cooking will take longer.

3.4 Cold accumulators

One or more cold accumulators are sup­plied in the freezer; these increase the
length of time for which food will keep in
the event of a power failure or breakdown.

3.6 Cleaning the interior

Before using the appliance for the first
time, wash the interior and all internal ac­cessories with lukewarm water and some
neutral soap so as to remove the typical
smell of a brand-new product, then dry
thoroughly.

Do not use detergents or abrasive
powders, as these will damage
the finish.

Check that the drain hose at the rear of
the cabinet discharges into the drip tray

4. HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

ENGLISH 9

4.1 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.

4.2 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.

5. 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.

5.1 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.

• rinse and dry thoroughly.
Do not pull, move or damage any

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 odor.

Clean the condenser (black grill) and the
compressor at the back of the appliance
with a brush. This operation will improve
the performance of the appliance and
save energy consumption.

Take care of not to damage the
cooling system.

www.electrolux.com

10

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.

After cleaning, reconnect the equipment
to the mains supply.

5.2 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.

5.4 Cleaning the ventilation grille

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

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

The absence of frost is due to the contin­uous circulation of cold air inside the
compartment, driven by an automatically
controlled fan.

5.3 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.

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.

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

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

• Pull the grille straight out to completely
remove it.

• Vacuum clean under the cabinet.

6. WHAT TO DO IF…

INSTRUCTIONS DE SÉCURITÉ

Pour votre sécurité et garantir une utilisa­tion correcte de l'appareil, lisez attentive­ment cette notice, y compris les conseils
et avertissements, avant d'installer et
d'utiliser l'appareil pour la première fois.
Pour éviter toute erreur ou accident, veil­lez à ce que toute personne qui utilise
l'appareil connaisse bien son fonctionne­ment et ses fonctions de sécurité. Con­servez cette notice avec l'appareil. Si l'ap­pareil doit être vendu ou cédé à une autre
personne, veillez à remettre cette notice
au nouveau propriétaire, afin qu'il puisse
se familiariser avec son fonctionnement et
sa sécurité.
Pour la sécurité des personnes et des
biens, conservez et respectez les consi­gnes de sécurité figurant dans cette noti­ce. Le fabricant décline toute responsabi­lité en cas de dommages dus au non-res­pect de ces instructions.

1.1 Sécurité des enfants et des
personnes vulnérables

• Cet appareil n'est pas destiné à être
utilisé par des enfants ou des person­nes dont les capacités physiques, sen­sorielles ou mentales, ou le manque
d'expérience et de connaissance les
empêchent d'utiliser l'appareil sans ris­que lorsqu'ils sont sans surveillance ou
en l'absence d'instruction d'une per­sonne responsable qui puisse leur as­surer une utilisation de l'appareil sans
danger.

Empêchez les enfants de jouer avec
l'appareil.

• Ne laissez pas les différents emballages
à portée des enfants. Ils pourraient
s'asphyxier.

• Si l'appareil doit être mis au rebut, veil­lez à couper le câble d'alimentation
électrique au ras de l'appareil pour évi­ter les risques d'électrocution. Démon­tez la porte pour éviter que des enfants
ne restent enfermés à l'intérieur.

• Cet appareil est muni de fermetures
magnétiques. S'il remplace un appareil
équipé d'une fermeture à ressort, nous
vous conseillons de rendre celle-ci inuti­lisable avant de vous en débarrasser.
Ceci afin d'éviter aux enfants de s'en-

fermer dans l'appareil et de mettre ainsi
leur vie en danger.

1.2 Consignes générales de
sécurité

AVERTISSEMENT

Veillez à ce que les orifices de ventilation,
situés dans l'enceinte de l'appareil ou la
structure intégrée, ne soient pas obstrués.

• Les appareils sont destinés uniquement
à la conservation des aliments et/ou
des boissons dans le cadre d’un usage
domestique normal, tel que celui décrit
dans la présente notice.

• N'utilisez pas d'appareils électriques,
d'agents chimiques ou tout autre systè­me artificiel pour accélérer le processus
de dégivrage.

• Ne faites pas fonctionner d'appareils
électriques (comme des sorbetières
électriques, ...) à l'intérieur des appa­reils de réfrigération à moins que cette
utilisation n'ait reçu l'agrément du fabri­cant.

• N'endommagez pas le circuit frigorifi­que.

• Le circuit frigorifique de l’appareil con­tient de l’isobutane (R600a), un gaz na­turel offrant un haut niveau de compati­bilité avec l’environnement mais qui est
néanmoins inflammable.

Pendant le transport et l'installation de
votre appareil, assurez-vous qu'aucune
partie du circuit frigorifique n'est en­dommagée.

Si le circuit frigorifique est endomma­gé :

– évitez les flammes vives et toute au-

tre source d'allumage

– aérez soigneusement la pièce où se

trouve l'appareil

• Ne modifiez pas les spécifications de
l'appareil. Si le câble d'alimentation est
endommagé, il peut causer un court
circuit, un incendie et/ou une électrocu­tion.

AVERTISSEMENT

Les éventuelles réparations ou in­terventions sur votre appareil, ain­si que le remplacement du câble
d'alimentation, ne doivent être ef­fectuées que par un professionnel
qualifié.

1.

Ne branchez pas le cordon d'ali­mentation à une rallonge.

2.

Assurez-vous que la prise n'est pas
écrasée ou endommagée par l'ar­rière de l'appareil. Une prise de
courant écrasée ou endommagée
peut s'échauffer et causer un in­cendie.

3.

Vérifiez que la prise murale de l'ap­pareil est accessible.

4.

Ne débranchez pas l'appareil en ti­rant sur le câble.

5.

Si la prise murale n'est pas bien fi­xée, n'introduisez pas de prise de­dans. Risque d'électrocution ou
d'incendie.

6.

N'utilisez pas l'appareil sans le dif­fuseur de l'ampoule (si présent) de
l'éclairage intérieur.

• Cet appareil est lourd. Faite attention
lors de son déplacement.

• Ne touchez pas avec les mains humi­des les surfaces givrées et les produits
congelés (risque de brûlure et d'arra­chement de la peau).

• Évitez une exposition prolongée de
l'appareil aux rayons solaires.

• Les ampoules (si présentes) utilisées
dans cet appareil sont des ampoules
spécifiques uniquement destinées à
être utilisées sur des appareils ména­gers. Elles ne sont pas du tout adap­tées à un éclairage quelconque d'une
habitation.

1.3 Utilisation quotidienne

• Ne posez pas d'éléments chauds sur
les parties en plastique de l'appareil.

• Ne stockez pas de gaz ou de liquides
inflammables dans l'appareil (risque
d'explosion).

• Ne placez pas d'aliments directement
contre la sortie d'air sur la paroi arrière
de l'appareil. (Si l'appareil est sans gi­vre.)

FRANÇAIS 21

• Un produit décongelé ne doit jamais
être recongelé.

• Conservez les aliments emballés con­formément aux instructions de leur fa­bricant.

• Respectez scrupuleusement les con­seils de conservation donnés par le fa­bricant de l'appareil. Consultez les ins­tructions respectives.

• Ne mettez pas de bouteilles ni de boî­tes de boissons gazeuses dans le com­partiment congélateur, car la pression
se formant à l'intérieur du contenant
pourrait le faire éclater et endommager
ainsi l'appareil.

• Ne consommez pas certains produits
tels que les bâtonnets glacés dès leur
sortie de l'appareil, car ils peuvent pro­voquer des brûlures.

1.4 Entretien et nettoyage

• Avant toute opération d'entretien, met­tez l'appareil à l'arrêt et débranchez-le.

• N'utilisez pas d'objets métalliques pour
nettoyer l'appareil.

• N'utilisez pas d'objet tranchant pour
gratter la couche de givre. Utilisez une
spatule en plastique.

• N'utilisez pas d'appareils électriques ou
agents chimiques pour dégivrer l'appa­reil. La chaleur excessive pourrait en­dommager le revêtement plastique in­terne et l'humidité pourrait s'introduire
dans le système électrique.

1.5 Installation

Avant de procéder au branche­ment électrique, respectez scru­puleusement les instructions four­nies dans cette notice.

• Déballez l'appareil et vérifiez qu'il n'est
pas endommagé. Ne branchez pas
l'appareil s'il est endommagé. Signalez
immédiatement au revendeur de l'ap­pareil les dommages constatés. Dans
ce cas, gardez l'emballage.
