4.1 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 food activate the
ActionFreeze function at least 24 hours
before placing the food to be frozen in the
freezer compartment.
Place the fresh food to be frozen in all
compartments except the lowest one.
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.
When the freezing process is completed,
return to the required temperature (see
"ActionFreeze Function").
4.2 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.
The freezer drawers ensure that it is quick
and easy to find the food package you
want. If large quantities of food are to be
stored, remove all drawers except for the
bottom drawer which needs to be in place
to provide good air circulation. On all
shelves it is possible to place food that
protrude until 15 mm from the door.
WARNING!
In the event of accidental
defrosting, for example due
to a power failure, if the
power has been off for longer
that the value shown in the
technical characteristics chart
under "rising time", the
defrosted food must be
consumed quickly or cooked
immediately and then refrozen (after cooling).
4.3 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.
4.4 Removing the ice container
The ice container can be removed.
1. Tilt up and pull the ice container
outwards to removal.
When the ice container is pulled out, this
stops all the functions of the ice machine.
2. When refitting (if necessary) the ice
container feed screw should be
positioned against the rear flange.
4.5 Shelf above ice maker
CAUTION!
The shelf above the ice
maker cannot be removed.

4.6 Removal of freezing baskets
from the freezer
The freezing baskets have a limit stop to
prevent their accidental removal or falling
out. At the time of its removal from the
freezer, pull the basket towards yourself
and, upon reaching the end point, remove
the basket by tilting its front upwards.
4.7 Removing the glass shelves
The glass shelves equipped with expander
rollers are secured with locking pins.
1. Loosen the locking pin on each side
on the expander roller. If necessary,
use a screwdriver.
2. Then pull out both locking pins (1).
3. Then pull the glass shelf outwards (2).
At the time of putting it back, slightly lift
the front of the basket to insert it into the
freezer. Once you are over the end points,
push the baskets back in their position.
The appliance is equipped with shelf stops
to secure the shelves.
The shelves must be lifted up (1) on each
side and than pulled outwards (2).
4.8 Cleaning the interior
1. Before using the appliance for the first
time, wash the interior and all internal
accessories with lukewarm water and
neutral soap so as to remove the
typical smell of a brand-new product,
then dry thoroughly.
2. Check that the drain hose at the rear
of the cabinet discharges into the drip
tray.
5. HINTS AND TIPS
ENGLISH
CAUTION!
Do not use detergents or
abrasive powders, as these
will damage the finish.
11
5.1 Normal operating sounds
The following sounds are normal during
operation:
• A faint gurgling and bubbling sound
from coils sound when refrigerant is
pumped.
• A whirring and pulsating sound from
the compressor when refrigerant is
pumped.
• A sudden cracking noise from inside
appliance caused by thermic dilatation
(a natural and not dangerous physical
phenomenon).
• A faint click noise from the temperature
regulator when the compressor
switches on or off.
5.2 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.
• If foreseen, do not remove the cold
accumulators from the freezer basket.
5.3 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.
5.4 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;
www.electrolux.com12
• 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;
6. CARE AND CLEANING
• once defrosted, food deteriorates
rapidly and cannot be refrozen;
• do not exceed the storage period
indicated by the food manufacturer.
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
6.1 General warnings
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.
The accessories and parts of
the appliance are not suitable
for washing in a dishwasher.
6.2 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.
CAUTION!
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. Take care of not to
damage the cooling system.
Clean the condenser and the compressor
at the back of the appliance with a brush.
This operation will improve the
performance of the appliance and save
electricity consumption.
Take care of not to damage
the cooling system. When
moving the cabinet, lift it by
the front edge to avoid
scratching the floor.
6.3 Cleaning the ice maker
When necessary, clean the surfaces of the
dispenser and the ice container that are
accessible from the outside, using only a
soft cloth and warm water.
Ensure that the ice container is thoroughly
dry before being refitted.
CAUTION!
Do not use detergents or
abrasive paste.
6.4 Defrosting
Your appliance is frost free. This means
that there is no build up of frost when it is
in operation, neither on the internal walls
nor on the foods.
The absence of frost is due to the
continuous circulation of cold air inside the
compartment, driven by an automatically
controlled fan.
6.5 Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long
periods, take the following precautions:
1. Switch off the ice maker.
2. Turn off the water connection.
3. Empty the ice container.
4. Disconnect the appliance from
electricity supply.
5. Remove all food.
