Practical advice on freezing

·When freezing products, use the top shelves.

-When freezing large amounts of food/provisions, the accumulator moves to on top of the food.

-Do not cover the air hole on the rear wall.

·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.

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.

ACTION FREEZE

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.

Thawing

It is best to thaw foods in the refrigerator. Place the foodstuff on a plate with a raised edge to prevent liquids from running out. Easily thawed foods can be placed in room temperature or in cold water. When using a microwave oven to thaw foodstuff, follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Cabinet interior

Freezer drawers

The freezer drawers make that it easy to quickly and easily find the food package you want. In order to obtain maximum space, all fittings except the top door and the lower box can be removed and filled with groceries up to the indicated loading limit.

Cold accumulator

The cold accumulator will keep the food cold for longer after a power failure. The cold accumulator will be most effective when placed on the top shelf. When freezing large amounts of food/provisions, the accumulator moves to on top of the food.

Removable shelves

There are the removable shelves inside the freezer. Remove the shelf when large food products need to be frozen.

Shelf for ice machine.

Cannot be removed.

Ice container.

Can be removed. Lift the front edge and then pull out. When the ice container is pulled out, this stops all the functions of the ice machine.

When re-fitting (if necessary), the ice container feed screw should be positioned against the rear flange.

Hints and Tips

GB

Saving energy

·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.

·Food which is to be frozen (when cool) should be placed in the fridge before being transfered to the freezer.

·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 "Using the freezer". 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 .

·Make sure the door gasket is complete and always clean.

Electrolux 818 38 03-01/7

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"

Maintenance and Cleaning

GB

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.

Cleaning

Clean the cabinet at regular intervals.

Don't use detergents, abrasive powders, high perfumed cleaning products, wax polishes or cleaning products containing bleach or alcohol when cleaning the product

Internal Cleaning

Disconnect the appliance from electricity supply.

Clean the inside and accessories 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.

External Cleaning

Use water/neutral soap emulsion for cleaning the surface of stainless steel, anti-finger-print coated. Absolutely not to use abrasive paste.

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.

Electrolux 818 38 03-01/7

Servicing and cleaning the ice dispenser

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. Never use cleaning agents with a grinding or aggressive effect.

When necessary, the feeder and the ice container can be cleaned after removal of the surfaces accessible from the outside, using only a soft cloth and warm water.

Ensure that the ice container is thoroughly dry before being re-fitted.

If the system is not to be used for a long period, it is advisable to switch off the ice machine and water supply, empty the ice container and fit the cover supplied over the delivery hole for ice in the door. When re-starting, avoid using the ice produced during the first day.

Defrosting

Defrosting is not necessary.

Every 24 hours, the evaporator is defrosted automatically.

Never use a hair drier 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.

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.

Cut the packaging around the bulb socket.

Keep the packaging on to hold the bulb when setting it into the socket. Do not touch the bulb with your bare fingers. Halogen light bulbs are sensitive to grease from the skin.

Use a clear halogen light bulb.

When the appliance is not in use

Disconnect the appliance from electricity supply.

Empty all foods and clean the appliance, leaving the doors ajar to 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.

The refrigerator is to be connected with a shut-off cock. There are different type-approved taps and tap assemblies on the market.

The water hose must not be cracked, squeezed or be in tight bends.

If you require a longer water hose than that supplied, then a VDE-approved 150 38 85-02/0 supply hose should be used.

Before the refrigerator is taken into use in its final location, ensure that the water connection has been correctly carried out, that there is no leakage at the connection to the refrigerator water valve or to the water tap, and that the four spacers are properly in position, see the illustration.

We recommend that the refrigerator is placed on a "run-off" mat intended for refrigerators and freezers, which makes it easier to detect possible leakage.

When the water system is started for the first time.

The following should be carried out when the refrigerator is correctly connected to the water supply in the building:

Open the tap on the water connection and start up the refrigerator. The ice machine starts automatically. It will start filling with water will start when the temperature is sufficiently low. Do not use ice produced during the first day since there is risk of a slight taste.

Electrical cord

Do not remove the power cord by pulling on its lead, particulary when the product is being pulled out of its niche.

·Damage to the cord may cause a short-circuit, fire and/or electric shock.

·In the event of damage to the appliance's main cable, only an authorised service company recommended by the manufacturer or a similarly qualified person may adjust it in order to avoid shock hazard for the user.
