Cleaning
Remove every adhesive tape, which
ensure the parts not to move in the
appliance.
Wash the inside of the appliance using
lukewarm water and mild detergent. Use
soft cloth.
After cleaning wipe out the inside of the
appliance.
Placement
The ambient temperature has an effect
on the energy consumption and proper
operation of the appliance. When
placing, take into consideration that it is
practical to operate the appliance
between ambient temperature limits
according to the climate class that is
given in the chart below and can be
found in the data label.
If the ambient temperature goes below
the lower data the temperature of the
cooling compartment can go beyond the
prescribed temperature.
If the ambient temperature goes beyond
the upper data this means longer
operating time of the compressor,
increasing temperature in the cooling
compartment or increasing energy
consumption.
When placing the appliance ensure that it
stands level.
Do not stand the appliance on a sunny
place or close to a radiator or cooker.
If it is unavoidable because of furnishing
and the appliance has to be stood near a
cooker take these minimum distances
into consideration:
In case of gas or electric cooker 3 cm
must be left, when it is less put a 0,5 1 cm non-flam insulation between the
two appliances.
In case of oil or coal-fired stove the
distance must be 30 cms since they
give off more heat.
The refrigerator is designed to operate
when it is totally pushed to the wall.
When placing the refrigerator
keep minimal distances
recommended in figure.

Handling the appliance
Putting it into use
Place the accessories into the
refrigerator then plug to the mains
socket. To start cooling turn the control
dial from "0" clockwise according to the
figure. In „0” position the appliance is out
of operation.
The next paragraph will give instructions
for setting.
Controlling the temperature,
setting
The thermostatic controller interrupts the
operation of the appliance automatically
for more or less time depending on the
setting then restarts it assuring the
required temperature.
Turning the control button towards the
bigger numbers cooling becomes more
and more intensive.
In the ice-making compartment can be
reached -2 °C or lower temperature if the
knob of the thermostatic control is set
according to following table:
Ambient temperature Thermostat setting
from 10 °C to 16 °C „1”
from 16 °C to 25 °C „1-2”
from 25 °C to 32 °C „2-3”
from 32 °C to 38 °C „3-4”
In this case the temperature starting
automatically in the fresh food
compartment is about +5 °C or below.
The setting 5., 6. and 7. are suitable for
quick chill of big quantity goods.
The temperature coming about in the
refrigerator is effected by not only the
position of the thermostatic control but
the ambient temperature, frequency of
door openings and the quantity of food
put into it newly etc.
In the maximum i.e. „7” position -
in case of increased demand e.g.
during heatwaves - without disconnecting
continuous operation can occur. This
does not cause damages to the
appliance.
Hints for storage
When placing the different kinds of food
take into consideration the sketch below
in figure:
1. Storing frozen foods, making ice
and ice-cream.
2. Confectionery, ready-cooked foods
3. Foods in dishes
4. Opened cans
5. Milk, dairy products
6. Fresh meat, cold cuts, sausages, etc.
7. Fruits, vegetables, salads
8. Cheese, butter
9. Eggs
10. Yoghurt, sour cream
11. Bottles, drinks

Storage time and temperature of
foods
The enclosed chart at the end of the
instruction books gives information about
storage time in the fresh food
compartment.
The storage time can not be determined
exactly in advance, as it depends on the
freshness and handling of the cooled
food. That is why the storage time made
known is only informative.
It is safe to store quick-frozen food only
that way if they were not dissolved even
for a short time until placing them into the
ice-making compartment.
How to use the ice-making
compartment
In the ice-making compartment -2 °C or
below can be held depending on setting
of thermostatic control.
It is suitable for quickly refrigerating and
storing foods in small quantity and for
making ice-cubes.
How to use the fresh food
compartment
For adequate cooling developing
interior air circulation is necessary.
For this reason you are asked not to
cover the whole surface of the wire
shelves with paper, trays, etc.
Do not put hot food into the
refrigerator. Allow it to reach
room temperature naturally. In this
way the unnecessary frost building up
can be avoided.
Foods can take over odours
from each other. So it is
essential to put foods in closed
dishes or wrap them in cellophane,
aluminium foil, grease-proof paper or
cling film before placing them into the
refrigerator. This way foods will keep
their moisture e.g. vegetables will not
dry out after some days.
Hints and ideas
In this chapter practical hints and ideas
are given about how to use the appliance
to reach maximum energy saving and
there is environmental information about
the appliance as well.
Some useful information and
advice
The shelf inside the appliance has a
back-folding part on the left side that
makes storing large-sized bottles
possible.
Top doorshelves taken out of the
appliance can be used for serving foods
(fruit, salads, etc.).
Two doorshelves put together can be
used for storing foods in or outside the
appliance (e.g. on excursions).
electrolux 11
GB
GB
How to save energy
Avoid putting the appliance in a sunny
place and near anything that gives off
heat.
Be sure that the condenser and the
compressor are well ventilated. Do not
cover the sections where ventilation
is.
Wrap products in tightly closing dishes
or cling film to avoid building up
unnecessary frost.
Do not leave the door open longer
than necessary and open it when it is
needed.
Put liquid into the appliance only in a
closed dish.
Put warm foods and liquid in the
appliance only when they are at room
temperature.
Defrost the appliance when the ice
in the ice-making compartment is
more than 4 - 5 mm thick.
Keep the condenser clean.
The appliance and
environment
This appliance does not contain gasses
which could damage the ozone layer, in
either its refrigerant circuit or insulation
materials. The appliance shall not be
discarded together with the urban refuse
and rubbish. Avoid damaging the cooling
unit, especially at the rear near the heat
exchanger. Information on your local
disposal sites may be obtained from your
municipal authorities.
The materials used on this appliance
marked with the sympol are
recyclable.
Defrosting
Bleeding part of the moisture of cooling
chamber in form of frost and ice goes
with the operation of the refrigerator.
Thick frost and ice has an insulating
effect, so it reduces cooling efficiency as
the temperature increases, it needs more
energy, at a certain thickness it does not
allow the door of the ice-making
compartment to open, possibly the door
can be broken.
We recommend to defrost the
ice-making compartment once
a week and when the frost is more
than 4-5 mm.
How to defrost it:
Break the circuit of the appliance or turn
thermostatic control knob into „0”
position.
Empty the ice box. Wrap foods inside into
newspaper and put them on a cool place
or into another appliance.
Leave the door of the appliance and icemaking compartment open.
Defrosting usually takes several hours.
When finished, pour defrost water
gathered out of the tray and wipe the
surfaces dry.
Apply voltage to the appliance or turn
thermostatic control knob to middle („4”)
position.
Put foods taken out back to their places.
Maintenance

GB
GB
Regular cleaning
It is recommended to wash the inside of
the refrigerator in 3-4 weeks time.
Household cleaner or soap must not be
used.
After you made it no-current wash the
appliance using lukewarm water and
wipe it.
Clean the magnet door rubber profile
with clean water.
After cleaning plug the appliance to the
mains socket.
It is practical to clean and defrost the icemaking compartment at a time and when
it is empty.

In case the appliance will not be used for
a long time follow these steps:
Break the circuit of the appliance.
Remove foods from the refrigerator.
Defrost and clean it as written before.
Leave the door open to avoid a build up
of air inside.
Trouble shooting
During operation of the appliance some
smaller but annoying trouble can often
occur, which does not require calling a
technician out. In the following chart
information is given about them to avoid
unnecessary charges on service.
We draw your attention that operation of
appliance goes with certain sounds
(compressor- and circulating sound). This
is not trouble, but means normal
operation.
We draw it to your attention again
that the appliance operates
discontinuously, so the stopping of
compressor does not mean being nocurrent. That is why you must not touch
the electrical parts of the appliance
before breaking the circuit.
