Important safety instructions

electrolux refrigeration important safety instructions 1

warning

The appliance must be plugged into its own dedicated 220-240V, 50Hz AC electrical outlet.

Ensure that the electric outlet is properly earthed to ground. Consult a qualiﬁed electrician if you are unsure.

Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug.

If the power cord is damaged, it should be replaced by a service technician or a qualiﬁed person.

Unplug the appliance before cleaning and before changing the light bulb to avoid electric shock.

Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug ﬁrmly, and pull straight out of the receptacle to prevent damaging the power cord.

Choose a location that is not too cold - the temperature should be above 10°C.

Put the appliance in a dry place, avoiding areas of high moisture or humidity.

Don’t put the appliance in frosty or unprotected areas, for example in a garage or on a verandah.

Don’t put the appliance in direct sunlight.

Don’t put the appliance near stoves, ﬁres or heaters.

When correctly installed, your appliance should:

• have adequate clearance to the back and sides for air circulation (refer to page 2).

• be aligned to the surrounding cupboards.

• have doors that will self-close from a partially open position.

warning

• Have the stability foot in place (see diagram on page 2) to prevent the appliance falling forward when a door with heavy food load is opened.

Page 6

2 installing your new appliance electrolux refrigeration

Clearance around your appliance

If you do not have a cupboard with a rear gap, the recommended clearance area on top increases from 50mm to 90mm (x) and from 32mm to 72mm (y). When positioned in a corner area, spacing of at least 350mm (400mm for E:Line models) on the hinge side will allow the doors to open enough to enable the removal of bins and shelves.

Note: Doors are designed to sit proud of cabinetry (not ﬂush). The clearances shown above are the recommended minimum clearances. The clearance at the rear must not exceed 75mm.

Installing your appliance

The appliance should arrive with the front adjustable rollers wound down to tilt the top of the appliance backwards by about 10-15mm from upright.

The stability foot should also be wound fully up so it will not interfere with the operation of the rollers (see diagram in Step 3).

caution

The rollers are designed for forward or backward movement only. They are not castors. Moving the appliance sideways may damage your ﬂoor and the rollers.

1. Roll the appliance into its ﬁnal position.

2. The top of the appliance should be tilted back by approximately 10-15mm (see diagram above). This will allow the doors to self-close providing a consistent door seal.

3. If the appliance is not tilted back, you can adjust the two front rollers by turning the large, plastic roller nut (see diagram below). This will increase the height of the rollers. One turn of the nut will tilt the appliance back approximately 10mm. If you have difﬁculty turning the roller nut you can have someone tilt the appliance back, so that you have better access. Alternatively, you can access the rollers from the side, using a ﬂat screwdriver to help you turn the nut (see diagram below).

4. Check the alignment of the appliance to the surrounding cupboards. The top of the appliance should be level from side to side (see diagram below). If you need to adjust the level, use the adjustable rollers as discussed in Step 3.

5. If the appliance now rocks from one corner to the opposite rear corner, this means that the ﬂoor is uneven; you will need to put some packing under one of the rear rollers.You could use thin pieces of solid material, such as thin board, vinyl ﬂoor tiles or laminate. Place the packing so that it will sit under one of the rear rollers when the appliance is rolled into position.

6. On certain ﬂoor surfaces the appliance may roll forward during operation. Where provided a “Roller Stop” can be placed under the front rollers.

7. You may now need to ﬁne-tune the installation by repeating Steps 3, 4 and 5.

8. When you have the appliance in ﬁnal position, wind the stability foot down until it just makes contact with the ﬂoor. Whenever you need to move the appliance,

be sure to wind the foot back up so that the appliance can roll freely.

9. Clean your appliance thoroughly following the instructions on page 10 and wipe off any dust that has accumulated during shipping.

10. Plug the appliance into the power point. Don’t use a double adaptor. If you need to roll the appliance out

to get at the power point, remember to raise the stability foot before you do so.

11. We recommend that you let your appliance run for two to three hours before you put any food in it. This will allow you to check that it is operating properly.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed your new appliance.

4 initial start up/electronic display controls – electronic models electrolux refrigeration

The appliance transfers heat from food placed inside the appliance to the outside air.

This process makes the rear, the sides and the area adjacent to the doors, particularly at initial start up, feel warm. This is normal.

There is a cooling coil located behind the rear wall of the cabinet. This coil cools and removes moisture from the air. A fan then circulates cold, dry air throughout the cabinet. This air circulation means that foods are refrigerated far more quickly than in appliances where the air remains relatively static.

Avoid placing food against air outlets as this will affect air circulation (see diagrams on inside cover).

A light frosting will occasionally occur on the cold interior of the freezer when the door is opened frequently. This is normal and will disappear after a few days in most climates.

Make sure you fully close the freezer door after you load or remove food. If the door is left partly open, a heavy frost will coat the inside of the freezer. If a frost develops, remove it. Take care to properly close the door and the frost will not reoccur. Your new energy efﬁcient appliance uses a high-speed compressor and other energy efﬁcient components that may produce different noises to your old appliance. These sounds are normal and include:

• compressor running noise.

• air movement noise from the small fan motor.

• occasional gurgling, similar to water boiling.

• a popping noise, heard during automatic defrosting.

• a clicking noise, just prior to the compressor starting up. These noises are normal and not cause for alarm.

Further details can be found on page 11.

tips and information

• On a top mount freezer (TM) refrigerator (where the freezer is on top of the fresh food compartment):

Do not place food forward of the ribs on the bottom of

the freezer, it will keep the door open. So make sure food is stored behind the ribs.

• On a bottom mount freezer (BM) refrigerator, single door all refrigerator (AR) and single door all freezer (AF):

Ensure freezer baskets and shelves are pushed

completely back to prevent them holding the door open.

The electronic display panel consists of an LCD display with white backlighting and 6 push buttons. When the power is ﬁrst turned on, you will see the default settings, with the white backlighting on. If no buttons have been pressed and the fridge door is closed the backlighting will turn off after 30 seconds.

tips and information

A good indication of optimal freezer temperature is ice cream that is frozen, but still soft enough for easy scooping. For the fridge compartment, we recommend using drinking water and simply adjusting the fridge controls until the water is at your ideal temperature.

Controlling the temperature

The default temperature for the refrigerator is 3°C, with a default of -18°C for the freezer. If you want to change the temperatures, use the instructions below. You should make only small adjustments and wait 24 hours to see whether you need to make further changes.

Note: When you set a temperature, you set an average temperature for the whole appliance cabinet. Temperatures inside each compartment may vary, depending on how much food you store and where you place it. High or low room temperature may also affect the actual temperature inside the appliance.

Changing the freezer temperature

Press the freezer button to make the freezer colder in 1°C steps. Once -23°C is reached the display will return to

-14°C with the next button press. You’ll notice that the bar graph gets smaller with colder freezer settings.

Changing the refrigerator temperature

Press the fridge button to make the fridge colder in 1°C steps. Once 0°C is reached the display will return to 7°C with the next button press. The bar graph gets smaller with colder settings.

Fast freeze function

Use the fast freeze function when you add a large amount of food to the freezer compartment. This freezes the food quickly but does not affect the temperature in the refrigerator compartment. To use this function, press the fast freeze button once. An animated icon will light up. The fast freeze function will now operate for 90 minutes. If you want to turn the fast freeze function off before 90 minutes have passed, simply press the fast freeze button again. The icon will disappear and the freezer will return to normal operation.

Freezer temperature alarm

If the alarm is sounding for no apparent reason, check whether anything is holding the door open. If the freezer becomes too warm due to the freezer door being left open or warm food being placed too close to the temperature sensor in the freezer (see diagrams on inside cover for the sensor location), a buzzer will sound; the icon adjacent to the alarm reset button, the freezer set temperature and bar graph will all ﬂash until the alarm reset button is pressed. Once pressed the alarm disable icon adjacent to the alarm reset button will illuminate for 50 minutes, or until the temperature reaches an acceptable level.

Make sure nothing is holding the freezer door open and move any warm food away from the temperature sensor (see diagrams on inside cover for the sensor location). If the freezer is still too warm after 50 minutes the alarm will sound again, indicating that something may be wrong with your appliance.

Note: The freezer temperature alarm can be reset for 12 hours by pressing the alarm reset button continuously for 10 seconds.

Door alarm

If the refrigerator door is left open for longer than 2 minutes a buzzer will sound and an arrow pointing to an open door will ﬂash. The refrigerator temperature settings and bar graph will also ﬂash. If you want to leave the door open while you load the fridge, you can turn the alarm off for 8 minutes by pressing the alarm reset button.

Child lock

To activate the child lock, press the alarm reset and fast freeze buttons together. This will disable the display to prevent accidental changes to settings. To turn off the child lock press and hold the alarm reset and fast freeze buttons together.

Drinks chill timer

To use the timer, press the drinks chill button once to set a 10 minute time limit, twice for 20 minutes and three times for 30 minutes. Press four times to turn the timer off.

If you set the drinks chill timer it will sound an alarm to remind you that you have left drinks in your freezer for quick chilling. An animated icon appears beside the drinks chill button with a countdown timer. The timer will count down in 1 minute increments; you can change the time or turn the timer off even after the countdown has started. When the countdown is ﬁnished a buzzer will sound and the icon beside the alarm will ﬂash until the alarm reset button is pressed. To stop the alarm and turn off the drinks chill timer, press the alarm reset button. If your drink is chilled, take it out of the freezer. If it is not cold enough, reset the drinks chill function (remembering that the drink is already partially chilled).

Suggested chilling times:

• 10 minutes for cans of drink

• 20 minutes for bottles of wine

• 30 minutes for bottles of soft drink.

Energy efﬁciency

Your appliance has been designed with energy efﬁciency in mind and can operate in any of three modes (Normal, Eco, Vacation), depending on the level of efﬁciency sought.

• Normal mode

This is the mode which is entered automatically when the

appliance is ﬁrst turned on. Normal Mode is the mode most suitable when the refrigerator door is opened often.

• Eco mode

Eco mode is a more efﬁcient mode than normal mode and

can be entered in two ways. Either by manually pressing the eco / vacation button once when in normal mode, or automatically after 30 hours if the refrigerator door has not been opened. The leaf icon will appear on the electronic display when eco mode is activated. If eco mode is entered automatically, the appliance will revert to normal mode once the refrigerator door is opened. If eco mode is entered manually, door openings will not cause the display to revert to normal mode. To exit eco mode, press the eco / vacation button twice (or until there are no icons displayed).

caution

Eco mode is designed to operate with minimum door opening (e.g. if used as a long term storage fridge). If turned on manually, it won’t switch off automatically and frequent door opening in eco mode could lead to food spoilage. If frequent door opening is likely to occur, switch back to normal mode.

• Vacation mode

Vacation mode is suitable if you think that you will be away from

your appliance for an extended period and would like to take advantage of maximum energy efﬁciency. Then, from Normal Mode, press the Eco / Vacation button twice in succession just before you leave and the appliance will enter Vacation Mode, as indicated by the aeroplane symbol. (If in Eco Mode a single button press is all that is required to enter Vacation Mode). Vacation Mode is exited automatically once the refrigerator door is opened and Normal Mode resumes.

environmental tip

Eco and Vacation Modes minimise defrosting to save energy, while maintaining your temperature settings.

Note: Opening the freezer door has no effect on the operation of Eco and Vacation Modes.

Controlling the temperature

Set the temperature by using the main temperature controls at the rear of the refrigerator compartment. When you ﬁrst start your refrigerator, set both refrigerator and freezer controls to MID. The refrigerator temperature control is affected by altitude and it is recommended that it be set warmer to compensate. e.g. At 1000 metres above sea level set the refrigerator temperature control to one setting warmer than MID.

tips and information

To change settings. When you change temperature settings, make small adjustments and wait 24 hours before assessing whether you need to make any further changes.

tips and information

• Coldest freezer setting is not recommended in normal and very hot climates as this will limit the cooling to the refrigerator section.

• In very cold climates (where temperatures are below 10°C) the freezer may need to be set colder.

• Adjusting the freezer temperature – top mount freezer (TM) model

1. Select the freezer control (top knob).

This section tells you how to make the most of the many useful features and how to clean them.

Door storage bins

The top mount freezer model (TM), bottom mount freezer model (BM) and all refrigerator (AR) are ﬁtted with door storage bins. You can adjust these bins to meet different storage needs. All the door bins are completely removable for cleaning. If you want to remove or adjust a bin, lift it over the support lugs on the inner door panel. To replace, push the bin down over the support lugs to lock it in place.

Dairy compartment

You can use the dairy compartment to store foods such as butter, margarine and cheeses. The compartment is slightly warmer than the rest of the refrigerator compartment and the lid provides protection against odours.

Crisper bin

You can use the crisper bin to store vegetables, fruit or smallgoods. You can change the humidity inside the bin by rotating the humidity control.

• Storing vegetables

You should store vegetables in the crisper bin remembering

to set the humidity control to more humid (closed).

• Storing fruit & smallgoods

You can also store fruit & smallgoods in the crisper bin

remembering to set the humidity control to less humid (open).

Crisper bin and shelf removal

• Remove the crisper bin(s) by pulling forward, then up and forward.

• Remove the crisper shelf by lifting the catches on the underside of the shelf and pulling the shelf forward.

Sliding deli compartment (where ﬁtted)

The sliding deli compartment allows you to position the delibin in any position within the appliance. This allows you to conveniently locate it around stored food or to align it with the multi ﬂow vents for direct cooling.

• Usage instructions:

In order to correctly use the deli compartment it should be

located on the top shelf position. If ﬁtted with a slideable deli compartment (selected models only), the compartment should be positioned fully on the left or right or in a central position. This will align the multiﬂow vents with the ducting surfaces at the rear of the deli bin. One or both of the vents can be opened to allow cooler air to pass over foodstuffs stored in the deli.

The air from these vents can be very cold, which is useful for

the fast chilling of food and drinks. However, items may freeze if left near the vents. To prevent freezing, move items away from the vents after chilling.

• Cleaning:

The sliding deli compartment (twin deli compartment on

selected models) can be removed for ease of cleaning. In order to do so a ﬂexible locking mechanism has been incorporated into the rear shelf rail.

1. Remove deli bin.

2. Remove the shelf assembly by pulling it past the stops.

3. Place the full assembly up side down on a ﬂat surface.

4. Slide the sub frame to the left until it engages with the locking mechanism.

5. Pull the thumb tag away from the rail to disengage it.

6. Slide the sub frame past this and allow it to ﬂex back into position.

Clean the parts as required and allow to dry. To replace

the sub frame repeat this procedure making sure to align the front lip on the front shelf recess.

caution

All glass used is safety glass. However caution

should be taken when removing the shelf for repositioning or for cleaning. As the assembly is relatively heavy and if held in the vertical position (as shown below) the runner assembly may drop down.

Do not remove any screws!

Spill safe glass shelves (where ﬁtted)

Spill safe glass shelves keep spills on the shelf. A shelf retaining system minimizes accidental movement of shelves. The shelves can be adjusted to many different heights. Spill safe glass shelves are not to be used as slide out shelves.

Slide away glass shelf (where ﬁtted)

This shelf can be used either as a full depth shelf or when tall items need to be stored at the front of the appliance it can be collapsed to half its original depth.

• To collapse the shelf:

1. Pull the front half of the shelf forward.

2. Then, from the underside, lift the front half of the shelf by raising the rear edge over the recessed hook detail.

3. Pull the shelf forward and allow the rear to drop into the side channels.

4. Push the front shelf backwards (3,4) until it reaches the rear stops.

• Repositioning:

The shelf can be repositioned within the appliance unit

by pulling the whole assembly out until the side panels are free to pivot down, then pivoting the rear of the shelf until the shelf is free from the liner runners. The shelf can then be positioned in any of the runners – this is a very useful feature if your appliance door happens to have limited access.

Deodoriser (where ﬁtted)

Your appliance is ﬁtted with a catalysing deodoriser to assist with the removal of food odours inside your appliance. Odours are removed by adsorption through the ﬁlter by the normal operation of the appliance. Keeping food covered and wrapping food with plastic wrap will also help to reduce the odours inside your appliance.

Bottle twist holder operation (where ﬁtted)

The bottle twist holder is used to prevent bottles from falling over. The bottle twist holder consists of two parts, a sliding front, and a rotating retainer ring. The bottle twist holder can be used in two positions:

• Horizontal When the bottle twist holder ring is horizontal, any item

that ﬁts within the ring can simply be placed inside it.

• Vertical When the bottle twist holder ring is vertical, it is possible

to simply slide the bottle twist holder along the bottle retainer bar until it is pushed up against a bottle.

Note: The bottle should be constrained on the other side by either the end of the bin or other adjacent bottles.

Freezer baskets (where ﬁtted)

Freezer baskets and a freezer shelf are ﬁtted to bottom mount (BM) freezers and single door all freezers (AF). Wire baskets are used to provide easy visibility of the contents. Both the baskets and the shelf pull out for easy access and have a stop to prevent the basket and shelf being pulled out too far.

To remove the basket or shelf, pull it out until it hits the stop then lift the front to unhook the stop while continuing to pull forward.

Cleaning the appliance

warning

BEFORE CLEANING: Turn appliance off at the power point, then remove power cord from socket. This will make sure there is no chance of getting an electric shock.

• Doors and exterior – white

You should only clean the doors with luke-warm soapy

water and a soft cloth, rinsing with clean water and then wipe the surface with clean water and a soft clean cloth to remove soap residue.

• Doors and exterior – stainless steel

Your stainless steel appliance is manufactured from a

mark resistant stainless steel. This stainless steel has a special advanced protective coating that eases the removal of marks such as ﬁnger prints and water spots. To keep your stainless steel appliance looking at its best, you should clean it regularly. You should only clean the stainless steel doors with luke-warm soapy water and a soft cloth, rinsing with clean water and then wipe the surface with clean water and a soft clean cloth to remove soap residue.

It is important to wipe in the direction of the grain of the

stainless steel to avoid undue marking of the surface.

caution

Do not use stainless steel cleaners, abrasive pads or other cleaners as they are likely to scratch the surface. Damage to this product after delivery is not covered by your warranty

• Interior

You should clean the appliance interior regularly. It will

be easiest to clean when the food supply is low. Wash the interior with a soft cloth and use an unscented mild soap with luke-warm water. Thoroughly dry all surfaces and removable parts. Avoid getting water on appliance controls. If you have taken out any removable parts, replace them and switch the power on before restocking the appliance with food. Naturally, you should keep the interior of your appliance hygienic by promptly and thoroughly wiping up any food spills.

• Door seals

Take care to keep door seals clean. Sticky food and

drink can cause seals to stick to the cabinet and tear when you open the door. Wash seal with a mild detergent and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.

caution

Never use hot water, solvents, commercial kitchen cleaners, aerosol cleaners, metal polishes, caustic or abrasive cleaners, or scourers to clean this appliance, as they will damage it. Many commercially available cleaning products and detergents contain solvents that will damage your refrigerator. When cleaning, use only a soft cloth with an unscented mild soap and luke warm water.

Safety

It is important to use your appliance safely. This means you need to supervise young children and inﬁrm persons when they use it. You need to make sure that young children do not play with the appliance. Follow the tips below.

always do this

Check the power point is properly grounded - if you are not sure get an electrician to check it.

Switch off the appliance at the power point before you clean or move it.

If the supply cord is damaged you should have it replaced by the manufacturer, it’s service agent or similarly qualiﬁed person. This will prevent a safety hazard.

never do this

Never let children play with the appliance.

Never store spray cans, explosive liquids or ﬂammable liquids in the refrigerator.

Never store ﬁzzy drinks in the freezer compartment.

Troubleshooting

If you think something may be wrong with your refrigerator, you can carry out some easy checks before calling for service. You may locate the problem, sparing yourself from inconvenience, saving time and money.

problem solution

When your appliance is not operating

• Check that the power cord is plugged into the power outlet properly and that the outlet is switched ‘ON’.

• Try running another appliance from the power outlet. If no power is coming from the outlet you may have blown a fuse or tripped a circuit of your household power supply.

• Try adjusting the temperature control to a slightly “colder” position.

• It is normal for the freezer fan NOT to operate during the automatic defrost cycle, or for a short time after the appliance is switched on.

When there is refrigerator/freezer noise

Modern refrigerators/freezers with increased storage capacity use high speed compressors. These can provide a seemingly high level of sound which is quite normal. Normal operational sounds include:

• Occasional gurgling, similar to water boiling.

• Air ﬂow noise (air circulates because of a small fan).

• A popping noise heard during automatic defrost.

• A clicking noise heard just before the compressor starts (this is merely the automatic switching action of the temperature control, turning the compressor on or off).

Other strange sounds may mean that you need to check and take action. For example, noises may mean that:

• The cabinet is not level.

• The ﬂoor is uneven or weak.

• Bottles are badly placed and rattling.

• There are vibrations from an object on top of or behind or beside the refrigerator.

• The back of the refrigerator cabinet is touching the wall.

Remember it is quite normal for noise to seem louder just after the refrigerator starts operating.

If there are odours inside the appliance

• The interior may need cleaning.

• Some foods produce odours.

• Some containers and wrapping can cause odours.

• Ask yourself if the odour started about the same time you started storing something unusual.

When the motor seems to run more than expected

Your new appliance provides you with large capacities in both the refrigerator section and the separate freezer. It is normal for the motor to operate frequently. However, to keep operation to a minimum, check the following:

• Are doors kept open too long or too often?

• Are controls set too cold? Refer to page 6 “Controlling temperature”.

• Have large amounts of warm food just recently been stored? Summer, festive seasons and holidays usually mean a lot more work for your appliance.

• If the day is hot or the room is very warm, the appliance will need to run more than normal.

• The appliance will run more than normal just after you install it or when it has been turned off for a long time.

If the temperature in the refrigerator is too warm

• Check that the appliance has enough clearance at the sides, back and top. Refer to page 2 “Installing your new appliance”.

• Refer to page 6 “Controlling temperature”.

• You may have kept the door open too long or too frequently.

• Food containers or packaging may be holding a door open.

If the temperature in the refrigerator is too cold

• Refer to page 6 “Controlling temperature”.

• Increase the temperature to avoid high energy consumption.

If heavy frosting occurs in the freezer

Make sure you fully close the freezer and fridge doors. If the doors are left partly open a heavy frost will coat the inside of the freezer. If a frost develops, remove it. Take care to properly close the doors and the frost will not reoccur.

If water drips on the ﬂoor

The defrost water tray, (located on the compressor at the back of the cabinet), may not be properly positioned, or the drain tube may not be properly positioned to direct water into this tray. You may need to pull the refrigerator away from the wall to check the tray and tube.

If you still require service

If you have a problem, and the problem persists after you have made the checks mentioned above, contact your nearest Electrolux approved Service Centre or the dealer you bought the refrigerator from. Be ready to quote the model number, 9-digit PNC and 8-digit serial number, which is stated on the label inside the refrigerator compartment.
