bol

2.1 Switching on

Insert the plug into the wall socket.
Turn the Temperature regulator clockwise
to a medium setting.

2.2 Switching off

To turn off the appliance, turn the Tem­perature regulator to the "O" position.

2.3 Temperature regulation

The temperature is automatically regula­ted.
To operate the appliance, proceed as fol­lows:

• turn the Temperature regulator toward
lower settings to obtain the minimum
coldness.

• turn the Temperature regulator toward
higher settings to obtain the maximum
coldness.

3. DAILY USE

3.1 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.

A medium setting is generally the
most suitable.

However, the exact setting should be
chosen keeping in mind that the tempera­ture inside the appliance depends on:

• room temperature

• how often the door is opened

• the quantity of food stored

• the location of the appliance.
If the ambient temperature is high

or the appliance is fully loaded,
and the appliance is set to the
lowest temperatures, it may run
continuously causing frost to form
on the rear wall. In this case the
dial must be set to a higher tem­perature to allow automatic de­frosting and therefore reduced en­ergy consumption.

3.2 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 fresh foods it is not necessary
to change the medium setting.
However, for a faster freezing operation,
turn the temperature regulator toward
higher settings to obtain the maximum
coldness.

3.3 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 on the higher settings.

3.5 Movable shelves

In this condition, the refrigerator
compartment temperature might
drop below 0°C. If this occurs re­set the temperature regulator to a
warmer setting.

In the event of accidental defrost­ing, for example due to a power
failure, if the power has been off
for longer than 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).

3.4 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.

The walls of the refrigerator are equipped
with a series of runners so that the
shelves can be positioned as desired.

3.6 Humidity control

The glass shelf incorporates a device with
slits (adjustable by means of a sliding lev­er), which makes it possible to regulate
the temperature in the vegetable draw­er(s).
When the ventilation slots are closed:
the natural moisture content of the food in
the fruit and vegetable compartments is
preserved for longer.
When the ventilation slots are opened:
more air circulation results in a lower air
moisture content in the fruit and vegetable
compartments.

3.7 Positioning the door shelves

ENGLISH 7

To permit storage of food packages of
various sizes, the door shelves can be
placed at different heights.
To make these adjustments proceed as
follows:
gradually pull the shelf in the direction of
the arrows until it comes free, then reposi­tion as required.

4. HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

4.1 Hints for energy saving

• Do not open the door frequently or
leave it open longer than absolutely
necessary.

• If the ambient temperature is high and
the Temperature Regulator is set to low
temperature and the appliance is fully
loaded, the compressor may run con­tinuously, causing frost or ice on the
evaporator. If this happens, set the
Temperature Regulator toward warmer
settings to allow automatic defrosting
and so a saving in electricity consump­tion.

4.2 Hints for fresh food

refrigeration

To obtain the best performance:

• do not store warm food or evaporating
liquids in the refrigerator

• do cover or wrap the food, particularly if
it has a strong flavour

• position food so that air can circulate
freely around it

4.3 Hints for refrigeration

Useful hints:

Meat (all types) : wrap in polythene bags
and place on the glass shelf above the
vegetable drawer.
For safety, store in this way only one or
two days at the most.
Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc..: these
should be covered and may be placed on
any shelf.
Fruit and vegetables: these should be
thoroughly cleaned and placed in the spe­cial drawer(s) provided.
Butter and cheese: these should be
placed in special airtight containers or
wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene
bags to exclude as much air as possible.
Milk bottles: these should have a cap and
should be stored in the bottle rack on the
door.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if
not packed, must not be kept in the re­frigerator.

4.4 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;

www.electrolux.com

8

• 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.

5. CARE AND CLEANING

4.5 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.

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 odour.

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 electricity consumption.

Take care of not to damage the
cooling system.

Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners
contain chemicals that can attack/dam­age the plastics used in this appliance.
For this reason it is recommended that
the outer casing of this appliance is only
cleaned with warm water with a little
washing-up liquid added.
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment
to the mains supply.

5.2 Periods of non-operation

When the appliance is not in use for long
periods, take the following precautions:

disconnect the appliance from elec-

•

tricity supply

• remove all food

• defrost (if foreseen) and clean the appli­ance and all accessories

5.3 Defrosting of the refrigerator

5.4 Defrosting the freezer

A certain amount of frost will al­ways form around the top com­partment.

Defrost the freezer when the frost
layer reaches a thickness of about
3-5 mm.

To remove the frost, do these steps:

1.

Switch off the appliance.

2.

Remove any stored food, wrap it in
several layers of newspaper and put it
in a cool place.

3.

Open the door.

4.

When defrosting is completed, dry
the interior thoroughly.

5.

Switch on the appliance.

ENGLISH 9

• leave the door/doors ajar 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.

Frost is automatically eliminated from the
evaporator of the refrigerator compart­ment every time the motor compressor
stops, during normal use. The defrost wa­ter drains out through a trough into a spe­cial container at the back of the appli­ance, over the motor compressor, where
it evaporates.
Periodically clean the defrost water drain
hole in the middle of the refrigerator com­partment channel to prevent the water
overflowing and dripping onto the food in­side. Use the special cleaner provided,
which you will find already inserted into
the drain hole.

6.

Set the temperature regulator to ob­tain the maximum coldness and run
the appliance for two or three hours
using this setting.

7.

Reload the previously removed food
into the compartment.

WARNING!

Never use sharp metal tools to
scrape off frost from the evapora­tor as you could damage it. Do
not use a mechanical device or
any artificial means to speed up
the thawing process other than
those recommended by the man­ufacturer. A temperature rise of
the frozen food packs, during de­frosting, may shorten their safe
storage life.
