OPERATION

Switching on

Insert the plug into the wall socket. Turn the Temperature Regulator to "SU-

PER" position and leave to run for 4 hours to allow the correct temperature to be reached before placing food inside.

Turn the Temperature Regulator to "NORMAL" position.

The Temperature Regulator is situated on the side of the cabinet.

Switching off

To turn off the appliance, turn the Temperature Regulator to the "STOP" position.

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 brand-new product, then dry thoroughly.

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

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.

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.

4) If a water connection is foreseen

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).

electrolux 5

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.

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;

•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.

WHAT TO DO IF…

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.
