results in the highest temperature inside the cabinet.
MAX The highest position of the thermostat control
results in the lowest temperature inside the cabinet.
H : Switched off.
Allow the cabinet to run for a period of 24 hours
whenever the temperature setting is changed. This
will allow the temperature to stabilise inside the
cabinet.

Temperature inside the freezer

To ensure that foodstuff will keep for a long time, be
sure that the temperature inside the freezer is -18°C
or below. Please note, however, that the energy
consumption increases as the temperature decreases.

GB

Switching off

Turn the control anti-clockwise past the click
position to "H".
Unplug the power supply plug from the wall socket
or, alternatively, remove the fuse.

Alarms and other features

Practical advice on freezing

· When freezing products, use the top shelf, and if

necessary the shelf beneath as this is t he coldest
part.

· Place the foods directly on the freezer shelves.

· Spread out the products as much as possible to

allow air to circulate between them.

· Do not place food products which are to be

frozen directly against other frozen food.
The heat from the unfrozen food may cause
the frozen food to thaw on the surface.

· Once frozen, re-arrange the products and put

them as close as possible to each other.
The food will then stay cold longer in the
event of a power failure.

· Do not freeze too much food at the same time.

The freezing capacity of the unit is indicated in
the specifications section.

Check that the cabinet is operating and
keeps the set temperature one day after
switching it on for the first time. Only
after then should the freezer be used to
freeze fresh foodstuff.

Suitable storage periods

Food purchased in frozen condition: Follow the
advice on the maximum storage period indicated on
the packaging.
Fresh food frozen at home:
Fatty and salty food should not be kept frozen for
more than three months. Cooked food and low-fat
food may be kept up to about six months. Lean food
and berries can be kept for approximately one year.

Thawing

It is best to use a fridge to thaw food. Pl ace the
foodstuff on a plate with a raised edge to prevent
liquids from running out. To quickly thaw food, put
it in room temperature or in cold water. When using
a microwave oven to thaw foodstuffs, follow the
manufacturer's instructions.

Cabinet interior

Freezer drawers

The freezer drawers make it easy to quickly and
easily find the food package you want. To gain
space, the drawers can be removed and the products
can be put directly on the shelves. On all shelves,
except the top shelf, it is possible to place products
that protrude 20 mm from the front edge. This
allows maximum use of the available space.
Do not remove the bottom drawer. It is required to
assure proper air circulation.

5

Electrolux 8181499--02/4

Ice cubes

Fill the ice tray to max. 3/4 since water expands as it
freezes. Release the ice cubes by twisting the ice
tray.
If ice cubes are kept for a long time, they will dry
out and the taste is affected. Thus, throw away old
ice cubes and prepare new ones when needed.

Hints and Tips

Energy Saving Advice

· Pay careful attention to where the cabinet is

placed. See the section "Installation". When
installed correctly, the cabinet will consume less
energy.

· Try to avoid keeping the door open for long

periods, or opening the door too frequently as
warm air will enter the cabinet, and cause the
compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.

· Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the

door from closing properly.

· Thaw frozen food in the fridge. This will ensure

safer defrosting of foods and reduce the work of
the refrigeration unit

· It is advisable to periodically clean the

refrigeration system at the back of the appliance
with a duster or vacuum cleaner.

· Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by

packing all foodstuffs into airtight packages
before placing them in the freezer.

· Carefully follow the advice on freezing products

in the section "Use". This will prevent wasting
energy.

· Do not set the temperature too low in the freezer.

A suitable temperature is in the range of -18°C
to -20°C .

· Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a

thickness of 3-5 mm. Regularly check the door
seal to ensure that it is clean and free from debris.

· Make sure the door gasket is complete and

always clean.

GB

Food Storage

· To obtain the best results from your appliance,

neither hot foods nor liquids which may
evaporate, should be placed in the larder
compartment.

· Avoid buying frozen food if you can not store it

straight away. The use of an insulated container is
advisable. When you arrive home place the
frozen food in the freezer immediately.

· Ensure that food placed in the freezer is dated and

labelled and used in date order to ensure that food
is consumed at its best.
Remove suspect food from you refrigerator and
clean, refer to cleaning and maintenance.

Protect the environment

· Hand over the cabinet packaging and discarded

fridges and freezers to a recycling station.
Contact your local council or Environmental
Health office for more information.

· Keep foodstuff in re-usable containers. Cut down

on disposable material as much as possible.

· When cleaning the cabinet, use a mild

washing-up detergent.

· Follow the advice in the section "Saving energy"

· The door gasket and coolant used in this

cabinet will not harm the ozone layer.

· All parts in the packaging can be recycled.

· The cabinet has been designed for easy

dismantling and subsequent recycling.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Removing the ventilation grille

The ventilation grille can be removed, e.g. to wash
the grille.
Make sure the door is open when removing the
ventilation grille. Unsnap the upper edge of the grille
by pulling outward/downward. Then pull the grille
straight out to completely remove it.

Internal Cleaning

Clean the inside and the accessories with warm
water and bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0,5 litre of
water).
Rinse and dry thoroughly.

Do not use detergents, abrasive
powders, high perfumed cleaning
products, wax polishes or cleaning
products containing bleach or alcohol .

Regulary check the door seals and wipe clean to
ensure they are clean and free from debris.

Disconnect the appliance from electricity supply.
Internal Cleaning

Clean the inside and accossories with warm water
and bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0,5 litre water)
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to
ensure they are clean and free from debris.

GB

External Cleaning

Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water.
Remove the ventilation grille (see the section
"Removing the ventilation grille") and vacuum-clean
under the cabinet. Once or twice a year dust the
condenser (black grille) and the compressor at the
back of the appliance, with a brush or vacuum
cleaner, as an accumulation of dust will affect the
performance of the appliance and cause excessive
electricity consumption.

When moving the cabinet, lift it by
the front edge to avoid scratching
the floor.

To Change the Light Bulb

The light is switched on automatically when the
door is opened. Before replacing the light bulb,
disconnect the power plug from the outlet.
Press the spring together and pull the grille
downward at the same time.
Use a bulb of the same type, E14 socket, maximum
ratingof25W.

Electrolux 8181499--02/4

Defrosting the freezer

A certain amount of frost will always form on the
freezer shelves and around the top compartment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a
thickness of about 3-5 mm.
Remove the freezer drawers and place them on top
of each other by turning every other drawer one half
turn. Put insulating material around the drawers, e.g.
blankets or newspapers.
The frozen products can also be packed closely
together and be kept in a cold location, e.g. in the
fridge.
Defrosting can be accelerated by placing bowls with
hot water (not boiling) inside the freezer.
Take out the drain spout and place it in the bottom
freezer drawer where water can collect.
Loosen the ventilation grille to enable the bowl to fit
under the drain spout.
Carefully scrape off the ice when it starts to thaw.
Use a wood or plastic scraper. Do not use sharp
objects as these may damage the interior.
When all the ice has melted, clean and wipe the
cabinet dry, then push the drain spout back in place.
Switch on the cabinet and replace the frozen
foodstuff.

When the appliance is not in use

Disconnect the appliance from electricity supply.
Empty all foods and clean the appliance, leaving the
doors ajar t o 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.

Never use a hair dryer or other heating
appliances to speed up defrosting. Excessive
heat may damage the plastic interior, and
humidity could enter the electric appliance
making it live.

Something Not Working

Before contacting your local Service Force Centre check the following point:

Problem Possible cause / Remedy

Audible alarm + flashing red warning
lamp. (It is too warm inside the freezer.)

It is too warm inside the freezer. Set a lower temperature.

Make sure that the door is completely closed and that the
insulating strip is complete and clean.

If warm food products have been put inside the freezer, wait for
a couple of hours and then check the temperature again.

Distribute the food products to allow cold air to circulate
around them.

Fast Freeze could have been switched on.
