are recyclable.

DAILY USE

Freezing fresh food

The freezing (top) area is suitable for freez­ing fresh food and storing frozen and deep­frozen food for a long time.
To freeze fresh food turn the Temperature
Regulator to "SUPER" position 6-24 hours
before placing fresh food in the freezer.
Place the food on the freezing shelf and
leave the Temperature Regulator in "SU­PER" position for a further 24 hours.
The maximum amount of food that can be
frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rating
plate , a label located on the inside of the
appliance.
The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during
this period do not add other food to be fro­zen.

4) If a water connection is foreseen

After 24 hours, return the Temperature Reg­ulator to "NORMAL" position. The freezer
will return to normal storage temperature.
Place the frozen food in the storing (bottom)
area to make room for another freezing.

If the Temperature Regulator is left in
the "SUPER" position, the freezer will
not be damaged, but energy will be was­ted.

Storage of frozen food

When first starting-up or after a period out
of use, before putting the products in the
freezer let the appliance run at least 4 hours
with the Temperature Regulator to "SU­PER" position.

electrolux 5

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).

HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

Normal Operating Sounds

• You may hear a faint gurgling and a bub­bling sound when the refrigerant is pum­ped through the coils or tubing. This is cor­rect.

• When the compressor is on, the refriger­ant is being pumped around and you will
hear a whirring sound and a pulsating
noise from the compressor. This is correct.

• The thermic dilatation might cause a sud­den cracking noise. It is natural, not dan­gerous physical phenomenon. This is cor­rect.

• When the compressor switches on or
switches off, you will hear a faint "click" of
the temperature regulator. This is correct.

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;

Thawing

Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being
used, can be thawed at room temperature.
Small pieces may even be cooked still fro­zen, directly from the freezer: in this case,
cooking will take longer.

• 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.

6 electrolux

• 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 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 the freezer

A certain amount of frost will always form
on the freezer shelf and around the freezing
area.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer rea­ches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.

Important! About 4-5 hours prior to
defrosting, set the Temperature Regulator
to "SUPER" position, in order to build up
sufficient chill reserve for the interruption in
operation.

To remove the frost, follow the instructions
below:

1. Switch off the appliance and disconnect
the mains plug from the mains socket.

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

Caution! Do not touch frozen goods
with wet hands. Hands can freeze to
the goods.

3. Leave the door open and remove the
freezing shelf. It is possible to scrape off
and remove smaller frost and ice with a
plastic scraper. Sweep off melting water
and it can be removed if an adequately
high tray is put in front of the appliance
and the defrost water will flow into it.

In order to speed up the defrosting proc­ess, place a pot of warm water in the
freezer. In addition, remove pieces of
ice that break away before defrosting is
complete.

4. When defrosting is completed, dry the in­terior thoroughly.

5. Switch on the appliance.

6. Turn the Temperature Regulator to a
"SUPER" position and leave to run for at
least 4 hours.

7. Reload the previously removed food into
the compartments.

8. Return the Temperature Regulator to
"NORMAL" position.

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:

1. disconnect the appliance from electricity
supply

2. remove all food

3. defrost and clean the appliance and all
accessories

4. leave the door/doors open to prevent un­pleasant smells.

Important! 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.

WHAT TO DO IF…

Warning! Before troubleshooting,
disconnect the mains plug from the
mains socket.

Only a qualified electrician or compe­tent person must do the troubleshoot­ing that is not in this manual.
