IMPORTANT

First make sure that the appliance has not
been damaged in transit. If any dam-age
has been incurred, please inform the
supplier immediately.

Please read these instructions carefully.
Keep the instructions in a safe place and
make sure that they are retained with the
refrigerator when the appliance is trans­ferred to a new location or owner.

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.

Please contact the relevant area refuse
office to arrange disposal. The pipe sys­tem of your refrigerator must not be
damaged if technically correct disposal is
to be guaranteed.

If possible, please take the packaging of
your new refrigerator to the recycling
centre for your area.

Recommendation: before installation or
initial use of the appliance, clean the in­terior and fittings with lukewarm water
and, if necessary, a mild detergent. Never
use acidic, abrasive or strong-smelling
detergents or wax polishes!

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 la-bel
inside the cabinet that the voltage agrees
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 amp fuse.

Warning - This Appliance must be
earthed.

MOULDED-ON PLUG

The mains lead is fitted with a non­rewirable moulded-on 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
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 safely,
or destroyed, to avoid any possi-ble shock
hazard resulting from the plug being
inserted into a 13 amp socket elsewhere
in the house. A suitable re-placement 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

GB

13

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 co!­oured wire to the plug termina! 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 col-oured
red.

Connect the BLUE coloured wire to the
plug terminal marked letter N or coloured
black.

SWITCHING ON

Inside the refrigerator you will find a
plastic bag containing 4 small wheels.
Carefully place the refrigerator on its back
and insert the pins of the wheels into the
metal holders located on the un-derside of
the refrigerator. In this way you can always
move your refrigerator to where it is
needed.

To switch on the refrigerator, plug it into
the socket and turn the thermostat (in the
inside compartment) to position 3 or 4.
The appliance will be cool in about one
hour.

The temperature inside the refrigerator is
affected by location, room temperature
and too frequent opening of the door.
Adjustment of the thermostat dial may
therefore be necessary.

Temperature control

The cooling capacity can be adjusted by
means of the termostat. 0 = cooling is
switched off, from 1-7 the temperature
decreases. When the termostat is at a
medium setting (3 or 4) and the ambient
temperature is normal, the temperature
inside the refrigerator is between 0°--7° C.

Note! Depending on the ambient tem­perature, service life, and quantity and
temperature of the refrigerated items, the

temperature inside the refrigerator can
drop to below 0°C when the thermostat is
set at 7 (maximum cooling capacity).
Drinks can freeze, glass bottles and cans
may burst!

If the ambient temperature is very high,
the cooling capacity decreases. This does
not mean that the appliance is de-fective.

USING THE REFRIGERATOR

The refrigerator provides sufficient stor­age space for food, milk, drinks etc. The
shelves on the inside of the door are
suitable for bottles, tins and small pack­ets. The un-refrigerated space above the
cooling compartment can be used for
storing glasses and snacks.

All food should be stored in its original
packaging or in closed containers. Liq­uids should also only be stored in closed
bottles or containers. In this way food
remains moist, odours do not form and
neither does excess ice form on the
cooling unit. Allow hot food and drink to
cool down before placing them in the ref­rigerator.

The temperature in the freezer section of
the unit is set at -12° C. Frozen products
can be stored here for short periods
(please follow the instructions on the
packet very carefully!).

Do not keep any easily combustible
substances such as ether, petrol, ad­hesive, propane gas etc in the refrig­erator, it could explode!

ICE CUBES

Fill the ice-cube container to 4/5 with po­table water. Place the ice-cube container
in the freezer section. Wipe off any ex­cess water to prevent the ice tray from
freezing to the surface.

To speed up the making of ice cubes, turn
the thermostat to position 7 for a short
while. Remember to turn the dial to its
normal setting when the ice cubes are
frozen.

To remove the cubes from the ice tray,
hold it under running water. Remove the
lid with the ice cubes from the ice tray and
the ice cubes can now be taken out easily.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Defrosting

Frost will gradually form on the cooling
surfaces and it must not be allowed to
become too thick since it impairs the
cooling efficiency of the refrigerator.

The appliance defrosts automatically on a
regular basis and then switches itself on
again. The defrosting process is car-ried
out by a timer switch operating on a 24­hour cycle.

Defrost water

During the defrosting process the water
runs through a hose into a container on

the back of the refrigerator where it
evaporates. This container does not need
to be emptied.

Cleaning

Clean the inside of your refrigerator
regularly to keep it fresh and hygienic.
Switch off the appliance and pull out the
plug. Clean the interior and fittings care­fully with a mild detergent in lukewarm
water.

Never use acidic, abrasive or strong­smelling detergents or wax polishes as
these will damage the surfaces and leave
an unpleasant smell.

The wooden housing should be dusted
from time-to-time or wiped down with a
damp cloth. The door seal should only be
cleaned with water and rubbed down with
talcum powder from time to time.

If possible, the unit should also be dusted
occasionally with a brush or, even better,
with a vacuum cleaner. Ensure that the
plug is disconnected.

Longer periods of absence . . .

If you wish to switch off the appliance for

a longer period of time, pull out the plug,
defrost the refrigerator and clean it
carefully. Leave the door open to pre-vent
unpleasant odours from forming.

Changing the lightbulb

If the lightbulb needs changing, pull out
the plug and proceed as follows:

Push the sheet reflector up and pull the
lamp cover away backwards. Replace the
bulb and push the covering back into
place.

A new 10-watt bulb can be obtained at
any Electrolux service shop.

TROUBLE-SHOOTING

Before you call a service engineer, carry
out the following simple tests:

Is there a power failure? Check the fuses.
Is the plug firmly connected to the socket

and is the socket switched on? Check the
socket by plugging in another appli-ance,
eg a table lamp.

Is the thermostat at the correct setting?
(normally 3 or 4).

Has the door not been closed properly
causing the inside temperature to rise too
quickly?

Is the refrigerator level?
Has the ventilation become obstructed? If

after checking all the above points, the
refrigerator is still not working satis­factorily, contact your nearest service
engineer.

This refrigerator is equipped with
overheating protection. An authorised
service technician can check whether this
has been triggered or not.

A list of service engineers is supplied with
every appliance. State the problem,
model and product number. (Details of the
model and product num-ber are to be
found on the data label in the top left of
the inside compartment.)
