Operation

Switching on

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

Switching off

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

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.

carded together with the urban refuse
and rubbish. The insulation foam con­tains flammable gases: the appliance
shall be disposed according to the ap­plicable regulations to obtain from your
local authorities. Avoid damaging the
cooling unit, especially at the rear near
the heat exchanger. The materials used
on this appliance marked by the symbol

are recyclable.

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.
Important! 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.

First use

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 brand­new product, then dry thoroughly.

Daily use

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.

Important! Do not use detergents or abra­sive powders, as these will damage the fin­ish.

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

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.

Important! 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).

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.

Important! this appliance is sold in France.
In accordance with regulations valid in this
country it must be provided with a special
device (see figure) placed in the lower com­partment of the fridge to indicate the coldest
zone of it.

Positioning the door shelves

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.

Movable shelves

The walls of the refrigerator are equipped
with a series of runners so that the shelves
can be positioned as desired.
For better use of space, the front half-shelves
can lie over the rear ones.

Helpful hints and tips

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.

Hints for fresh food refrigeration

To obtain the best performance:

6 electrolux

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

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

• p osit ion f ood s o tha t air can circulate freely
around it

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.

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;

• 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.

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.

Care and cleaning

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.

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.

Important! 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

electrolux 7

a brush or a vacuum cleaner. This operation
will improve the performance of the appli­ance and save electricity consumption.

Important! 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.

Defrosting of the refrigerator

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.
It is important to 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.

Defrosting the freezer

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

Important! 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 sev-

eral layers of newspaper and put it in a
cool place.

3. Open the door.

4. When defrosting is completed, dry the in-

terior thoroughly.

5. Switch on the appliance.

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.

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

4)

and clean the appliance and all

•
accessories

• 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.

Per spegnere l'apparecchio, ruotare il termo­stato in posizione "O".

Regolazione della temperatura

La temperatura è regolata automaticamente.
Per utilizzare l'apparecchio, procedere come
segue:

• ruotare il termostato verso una regolazione
bassa per un raffreddamento minimo.

• ruotare il termostato verso una regolazione

Tutela ambientale

Questo apparecchio non contiene gas
che potrebbero danneggiare lo strato di
ozono nel circuito refrigerante o nei ma­teriali isolanti. L'apparecchio non deve
essere smaltito assieme ai rifiuti urbani e
alla spazzatura. La schiuma dell'isola­mento contiene gas infiammabili: lo
smaltimento dell'apparecchio va esegui­to secondo le prescrizioni vigenti da ri­chiedere alle autorità locali. Evitare di
danneggiare il gruppo refrigerante, spe­cialmente nella parte posteriore vicino
allo scambiatore di calore. I materiali

Tuttavia la regolazione esatta dovrebbe es­sere scelta tenendo a mente che la tempe­ratura all'interno dell'apparecchio dipende
da:

• temperatura ambiente

• frequenza di apertura della porta

• quantità di cibo conservato

• posizione dell'apparecchio.

Importante Se la temperatura ambiente è
elevata o l'apparecchio è a pieno carico ed è
regolato su temperature minime, può
funzionare in continuo causando la
formazione di brina sulla parete posteriore. In
questo caso la manopola deve essere
regolata su una temperatura per consentire
lo sbrinamento automatico riducendo così il
consumo di energia.

Utilizzo quotidiano

Congelazione dei cibi freschi

Il vano congelatore è adatto alla congelazio­ne di cibi freschi e alla conservazione a lungo
termine di cibi congelati e surgelati.
Per congelare cibi freschi non è necessario
cambiare la regolazione media.
Tuttavia, per un'operazione di congelamento
più rapida, ruotare il termostato verso una
regolazione più alta per ottenere il massimo
raffreddamento.

Importante In questa condizione la
temperatura del vano frigorifero può
scendere sotto 0°C. In questo caso riportare
il termostato verso una regolazione più calda.

Conservazione dei surgelati

Al primo avvio o dopo un periodo di non uti­lizzo, lasciare in funzione l'apparecchiatura
per almeno 2 ore con una regolazione alta
prima di introdurre gli alimenti.

Importante Se si verifica un'interruzione
della corrente elettrica di durata superiore al
"tempo di salita" indicato nella tabella dei dati
tecnici, il cibo scongelato deve essere
consumato rapidamente o cucinato
immediatamente e quindi ricongelato (dopo
il raffreddamento).

Scongelamento

Prima dell'utilizzo, i cibi surgelati o congelati
possono essere scongelati nel vano frigori­fero o a temperatura ambiente, in funzione
del tempo disponibile per questa operazione.
I pezzi piccoli possono addirittura essere cu­cinati ancora congelati, direttamente dal
congelatore: in questo caso la cottura durerà
più a lungo.

Importante questa apparecchiatura viene
venduta in Francia.
Per rispettare la normativa vigente in questo
paese, essa deve essere dotata di un parti­colare dispositivo, posto nella parte bassa
della cella frigo (vedi figura) per segnalare la
zona piu' fredda del vano.

Ripiani mobili

Le pareti del frigorifero sono equipaggiate
con una serie di guide che permettono di
collocare i ripiani nella posizione desiderata.
Per un migliore sfruttamento dello spazio, i
semiripiani anteriori possono essere collocati
sopra a quelli posteriori.

Posizionamento dei ripiani della porta

Per consentire di riporre pacchetti di cibo di
varie dimensioni, i ripiani della porta possono
essere collocati ad altezze diverse.
Per tali regolazioni, procedere come segue:
tirare gradualmente il ripiano nella direzione
delle frecce fino a liberarlo, quindi riposizio­narlo come desiderato.
