Safety Information
Before installing and using the appliance
read this user's instruction book carefully.
It contains safety precautions, hints,
information and ideas. If the freezer is
used in compliance with the instructions
written, it will operate properly and
provide you with greatest satisfaction.
These warnings are provided in the
interest of safety. You must read them
carefully before installing or using the
appliance.
Use the freezer only for storing frozen
food, freezing fresh food and making
ice cubes.
Do not eat ice cubes or ice lollies
immediately after taking them out of
the freezer, since they may cause frost
burns.
Do not allow children to play or hide
inside the freezer, since they may
become trapped inside and suffocate.
Do not store glass containers with
liguids in the freezer, since they may
burst.
Ensure that the freezer is not resting
on the power supply cable.
Before servicing or cleaning, always
unplug the appliance or disconnect
the power supply.
Do not use other electrical appliances
(such as ice cream makers) inside the
appliance.
Your appliance contains an
environmentally friendly natural gas,
isobuthane (R600a). Caution is
required however, since isobuthane is
flammable. Therefore it is essential to
ensure that the refrigerant pipelines
are not damaged.
It is most important that this instruction
book should be retained with the
appliance for future reference.

Installation
Wait at least 2 hours before
connecting the freezer to the power
supply to ensure the refrigerant circuit
is fully efficient.
Install the freezer in a dry, well
ventilated room. Avoid locations near a
source of heat or in direct sunlight.
The room temperature should
correspond to the climatic
classification for which the freezer was
designed, see chapter "Technical
data".
Place the freezer horizontally on a firm
surface, resting on all four feet.
For optimum operation and in order to
avoid damage when the lid is opened,
leave a space of at least 5 cm from the
rear wall and 5 cm at the sides.
Before connecting the freezer to the
power supply, ensure that the voltage
corresponds to that indicated in
chapter "Technical data" under
"Voltage".
Danger!
Ensure that the freezer is not resting
on the power supply cable.
Do not remove the power supply cable
by pulling on its lead, particularly when
the freezer is being pulled out of its
niche.
The power supply cable may only be
replaced by a qualified service
personel.
Ensure that the power plug is not
squashed or damaged by the back of
the freezer.
There must be adequate ventilation
around the appliance.
Any electrical work required to install
this appliance should be carried out by
a qualified electrician.
Warning! This appliance must be
earthed.
First use
Before first use, the freezer should be
cleaned inside, see chapter "Care and
cleaning".

proceed as follows:
Turn the thermostat knob clockwise
towards for a colder storage
temperature.
Turn the thermotat knob counterclockwise towards for a less cold
storage temperature.
Super Freeze function
If more than 3-4 kg of fresh food is to be
frozen, the freezer needs to be precooled.
At least 24 hours before placing fresh
food in the freezer, press button (D).
The yellow light comes on.
Place the food in the freezer. After 52
hours this function will automatically
switch off and the freezer will return to
normal storage temperature. This
function can be de-activated any time
by pressing button (D) again.
Alarm
If the freezer temperature is not
sufficiently low, the alarm will beep and
the red light will come on.
Press button (D) to switch the sound
off. The red light remains on as long as
the temperature in the freezer is
higher than the thermostat setting.
The alarm can be due to:
Insertion of a large amount of fresh
food.
Opening the lid too long.
A defect in the system, see chapter
"What to do if...".
Storage baskets
Hang the baskets on the upper edge
(X) or place the stackable baskets
inside the freezer (Y).
Turn and fix the handles for these two
positions, as shown in the drawings.
Spare baskets can be obtained from your
local Service Force Centre or from the
Electrolux website (depending on
country). The illustrations on this page
show how many baskets can be placed in
the various freezer models.
Security lock
Push the key in the lock while turning.
Spare keys can be obtained from your
local Service Force Centre.
Important! Keep the keys out of reach of
children. Before disposing of an old
freezer remove the keys.
Opening and closing the lid
As the lid is fitted with a tightly closing
seal, it will not re-open easily
immediatedly after closing.
Wait a few minutes before re-opening
the lid. A valve will allow the lid to be
re-opened easily. Never pull the
handle violently.

Care and Cleaning
Defrosting the freezer
When the ice layer is 10-15 mm thick,
the freezer should be defrosted. We
suggest that you defrost your freezer
when there is little or no food inside.
Disconnect the appliance from the
power supply.
Remove the contents of the freezer,
wrap them in newspapers, and keep
them in a cold place.
Leave the appliance lid open.
Remove the plug from the water drain.
The defrost water can be collected in
a tray as shown in the drawing. If
available, use the divider.
Speed up defrosting by using the
enclosed scraper to detach the ice
from the appliance walls.
Dry the interior of the appliance
thoroughly.
Remember to replace the plug in the
water drain.
Important! Never use a knife or any
other sharp implement to remove frost or
ice.
Cleaning
The best time to clean your freezer is
after defrosting.
Disconnect the appliance from the
power supply and remove all loose
accessories.
Use a damp cloth to clean your
freezer. Use hot water and a mild, nonaromatic detergent.
Clean the loose accessories, before
replacing them again.
Important! Never use strong detergents,
scouring powder or aromatic detergents
to clean your freezer.
When not in use
Disconnect the appliance from the
power supply.
Remove all food from the freezer.
Clean the freezer as described above.
Leave the lid slightly open.
Changing the light bulb
Disconnect the appliance from the
power supply.
Unscrew the bulb, and replace it with
a new bulb (max. 15W).
Plug in the appliance.
Helpful hints and tips
Freezing food
Before freezing, fresh food must be
packed in airtight and moisture-proof
packaging to prevent it from drying
out.
Only use fresh food of the best quality.
Always leave hot food to cool to room
termperature before placing in the
freezer.
Divide food into small portions before
freezing; this ensures that freezing is
more rapid, and that you only need to
defrost the amount needed for
immediate consumption.
Mark the freezer packaging with the
date of freezing.
Place fresh food for freezing close to
the cold sides of the freezer, making
sure that it is not in contact with the
frozen food already in the freezer.
8 electrolux
EN
Frozen food can be stored anywhere
inside the freezer, but should be kept
at least 5 mm below the upper edge.
Never fill the freezer further than the
loading line shown on the illustration.
If freezing is too slow, the quality of the
food being frozen deteriorates. The
amount of fresh food (expressed in kg)
that can be frozen in 24 hours is
indicated in the chapter "Technical data"
under "Freezing capacity".
Food storage
For fresh frozen food, please refer to
the storage period table underneath.
For purchased frozen food, never
exceed the expiry date.
When you buy frozen food, make sure
that it has been stored at the correct
temperature. Do not buy products
which have wet or damaged
packaging. Place purchased products
in your freezer as quickly as possible.
We recommend using an insulated
bag to bring such products home with
you.
Important! Remember that fully or
partially defrosted food must not be refrozen. However, dishes which have
been cooked using defrosted food may
be frozen.
In the case of a power failure or
breakdown
Do not open the lid.
Important! If the power has been off for
longer that the value shown in the
chapter "Technical data" under "Hold-
over time", the defrosted food must be
consumed quickly or cooked
immediately and then refrozen (after
cooling).
