SAFETYINFORMATION
It is most important that this instruction book should be retained
with the appliance for future reference.
Should the appliance be sold or
transferred to another owner, or
should you move house and leave
the appliance, always ensure that
the book is supplied with the appliance in order that the new owner
can be acquainted with the functioning of the appliance and the relevant warnings.
If this appliance featuring magnetic
door seals is to replace an older appliance having a spring lock (latch)
on the door or lid, be sure to make
that spring lock unusable before
you discard the old appliance. This
will prevent it from becoming a
death-trap for a child.
These warnings are provided in the
interest of safety. You must read
them carefully before installing or
using the appliance.
General Safety
• This appliance is designed to be
operated by adults. Children
should not be allowed to tamper
with the controls or play with the
product.
• It is dangerous to alter the specifications or modify this product in
any way.
• Before any cleaning or maintenance work is carried out, be sure
to switch off and unplug the appliance.
• This appliance is heavy. Care
should be taken when moving it.
• Ice lollies can cause frost burns if
consumed straight from the appliance.
• Take utmost care when handling
your appliance so as not to cause
any damages to the cooling unit
with consequent possible fluid leakages.
• The appliance must not be located
close to radiators or gas cookers.
• Avoid prolonged exposure of the
appliance to direct sunlight.
• There must be adequate ventilation round the back of the appliance and any damage to the
refrigerant circuit must be avoided.
• For freezers only (except built-in
models): an ideal location is the
cellar or basement.
• Do not use other electrical appliances (such as ice cream makers) inside of refrigerating appliances.
Service/Repair
• Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or
competent person
• This product should be serviced by
an authorized Service Centre, and
only genuine spare parts should
be used.
• Under no circumstances should
you attempt to repair the appliance
yourself. Repairs carried out by
inexperienced persons may cause
injury or more serious malfunctioning. Refer to your local Service
Centre, and always insist on genuine spare parts.

• This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling unit; maintenance and recharging must
therefore only be carried out by
authorized technicians.
Use
• The domestic refrigerators and
freezers are designed to be used
specifically for the storage of edible foodstuffs only.
• Best performance is obtained with
ambient temperature between
+18°C and +43°C (class T); +18°C
and +38°C (class ST); +16°C and
+32°C (class N); +10°C and +32°C
(class SN). The class of your appliance is shown on its rating plate.
Warning: when the ambient temperature is not included within the
range indicated for the class of this
appliance, the following instructions must be observed: when the
ambient temperature drops below
the minimum level, the storage
temperature in the freezer compartment cannot be guaranteed; therefore it is advisable to use the
food stored as soon as possible.
• Frozen food must not be re-frozen
once it has been thawed out.
• Manufacturers’ storage recommendations should be strictly
adhered to. Refer to relevant instructions.
electrolux 7
• The inner lining of the appliance
consists of channels through
which the refrigerant passes. If
these should be punctured this
would damage the appliance beyond repair and cause food loss.
DO NOT USE SHARP INSTRUMENTS to scrape off frost or ice.
Frost may be removed by using
the scraper provided. Under no circumstances should solid ice be
forced off the liner. Solid ice should
be allowed to thaw when defrosting the appliance.
• Do not place carbonated or fizzy
drinks in the freezer as it creates
pressure on the container, which
may cause it to explode, resulting
in damage to the appliance.Do not
use a mechanical device or any artificial means to speed up the thawing process other than those
recommended by the manufacturer. Never use metal objects for
cleaning your appliance as it may
get damaged.
Installation
• During normal operation, the condenser and compressor at the
back of the appliance heat up considerably. For safety reasons, minimum ventilation must be as
shown in the instructions.
Attention: keep ventilation openings clear of obstruction.
• Care must be taken to ensure that
the appliance does not stand on
the electrical supply cable.
Page 8
8 electrolux
Important: if the supply cord is dama-
ged, it must be replaced by a special
cord or assembly availa-ble from the
manufacturer or its service agent.
• If the appliance is transported horizontally, it is possible that the oil
contained in the compressor flows
in the refrigerant circuit. It is advisable to wait at least two hours before connecting the appliance to
allow the oil to flow back in the
compressor.
• There are working parts in this product which heat up. Always ensure
that there is adequate ventilation
as a failure to do this will result in
component failure and possible
food loss. See installation instructions.
• Parts which heat up should not be
exposed. Wherever possible the
back of the product should be
against a wall.

Wine arrangement
Top Compartment:
the temperature can be adjusted between +6 and + 12°C. This compartment is ideal for wines, especially
new reds and whites, to be consumed
immediately.
Top compartement
Bottom compartement
Use
The wine refrigerator is divided into
two compartments with differentiated
temperatures.
Bottom Compartment:
the temperature can be adjusted between + 12 and + 18°C. This compartment is ideal for storing and refining
red or white wines for long periods.
The temperatures of this compartment
are suitable for storing aged and fullbodied wines.
Lay the bottles down in such a way
that the corks do not dry.
Keep the wine in the dark. The oven
door is in anti-UV darkened double
glass to protect the wine from the light
in case the refrigerator is located in a
well-lit place.
Avoid switching the appliance light
on too often or for too long. Wine
keeps better in the dark.
Handle the bottles with care, to
avoid agitating the wine.
Follow the recommendations and
advice received at the time of purchase or given in the technical documentation regarding the quality,
duration and optimum storage temperature of the wine.

Button “Light On” and
light indicator
In the case you want to maintain the
light on with the door closed, it is
sufficient to open and close the door
and the light will remain ON
automatically for 10 minutes.
If you want to switch off the light before
the automatic turn off time, open the
door and push the switch button (E).
The light has no negative effect on the
quality on the wine.
Storage advice
The storage time for wine depends on
ageing, the type of grapes, alcoholic
content and level of fructose and tannin contained in it. At the time of purchase, check if the wine is already
aged or if it will improve over time.
Recommended storage temperatures:
- for champagne and sparkling wines,
between 6 and 8°C
- for white wines, between 10 and
12°C
- for rose’ and light red wines, between
12 and 16°C
- aged red wines, 14 -1 6°C
When placing various bottles on top of
each other, make sure they do not
touch the refrigerator cooling plate.
Temperature regulation
Select the compartment by pressing
the key (C)
Set the temperature by turning the
knob (B or F depending on the compartment to be adjusted).
The correct position must in any case
be determined bearing in mind that the
inside temperature depends on these
factors:
• Room temperature
• How often the doors are opened
• The quantity of bottles stored
• The position of the appliance
Switching off
Press the key (A) for more than 1 second to switch the appliance off. A
temperature countdown of -3 -2 -1 will
then be signalled.
