install this appliance should be
carried out by a qualified electrician
or competent person
Page 7
electrolux

• This product should be serviced by
an authorized Service Centre, and
only genuine spare parts should be
used.
• Under no circumstances should
you attempt to repair the appliance
yourself. Repairs carried out by
inexperienced persons may cause
injury or more serious
malfunctioning. Refer to your local
Service Centre, and always insist
on genuine spare parts.
• This appliance contains
hydrocarbons in its cooling unit;
maintenance and recharging must
therefore only be carried out by
authorized technicians.
Use
• The domestic refrigerators and
freezers are designed to be used
specifically for the storage of edible
foodstuffs only.
• Best performance is obtained with
ambient temperature between
+18°C and +43°C (class T); +18°C
and +38°C (class ST); +16°C and
+32°C (class N); +10°C and +32°C
(class SN). The class of your
appliance is shown on its rating
plate.
Warning: when the ambient
temperature is not included within
the range indicated for the class of
this appliance, the following
instructions must be observed:
when the ambient temperature
drops below the minimum level, the
storage temperature in the freezer
compartment cannot be
guaranteed; therefore it is advisable
to use the food stored as soon as
possible.
• Frozen food must not be re-frozen
once it has been thawed out.
• Manufacturers’ storage
recommendations should be strictly
adhered to. Refer to relevant
instructions.
• The inner lining of the appliance
consists of channels through which
the refrigerant passes. If these
should be punctured this would
damage the appliance beyond
repair and cause food loss. DO
NOT USE SHARP INSTRUMENTS
to scrape off frost or ice. Frost may
be removed by using the scraper
provided. Under no circumstances
should solid ice be forced off the
liner. Solid ice should be allowed to
thaw when defrosting the
appliance.
• Do not place carbonated or fizzy
drinks in the freezer as it creates
pressure on the container, which
may cause it to explode, resulting
in damage to the appliance.
Installation
• During normal operation, the
condenser and compressor at the
back of the appliance heat up
considerably. For safety reasons,
minimum ventilation must be as
shown in the instructions.
Attention: kkeep vventilation oopenings
clear oof oobstruction.
• Care must be taken to ensure that
the appliance does not stand on
the electrical supply cable.

Important:
if the supply cord is
damaged, it must be replaced by a
special cord or assembly availa-ble
from the manufacturer or its service
agent.
• If the appliance is transported
horizontally, it is possible that the
oil contained in the compressor
flows in the refrigerant circuit. It is
advisable to wait at least two hours
before connecting the appliance to
allow the oil to flow back in the
compressor.
• There are working parts in this
product which heat up. Always
ensure that there is adequate
ventilation as a failure to do this will
result in component failure and
possible food loss. See installation
instructions.
• Parts which heat up should not be
exposed. Wherever possible the
back of the product should be
against a wall.

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 24 hours on the fast freeze
setting.
To obtain the best performance from
this appliance, you should:
if large quantities of food are to be
stored, remove all drawers and
baskets from appliance and place
food on cooling shelves.
Pay careful attention not to exceed
load limit stated on the side of the
upper section (where applicable).

Cold accumulators
The freezer contains two cold
accumulators which increas storage
times in the event of a power cut or
breakdown. They are located in the
upper compartment.
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.
Ice-cube production
This appliance is equipped with one or
more trays for the production of icecubes. Fill these trays with water, then
put them in the freezer compartment.
Do nnot uuse mmetallic iinstruments tto
remove tthe ttrays ffrom tthe ffreezer.

HINTS
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;
• ice cubes, if consumed
immediately after removal from the
freezer compartment, can possibly
cause the skin to be freeze burnt;
• it is advisable to show the freezingin date on each individual pack to
enable you to keep tab of the
storage time;
• do nnot pput ccarbonated lliquids ((fizzy
drinks, eetc.) iin tthe ffreezer
compartment aas tthey mmay bburst.
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.

electrolux
Defrosting
The freezer compartment of this
model, on the other hand, is a "no
frost" type. This means that there is no
buildup 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.
MAINTENANCE
Unplug tthe aappliance bbefore
carrying oout aany mmaintenance
operation.
Warning
This aappliance ccontains
hydrocarbons iin iits ccooling uunit;
maintenance aand rrecharging

warm wwater wwith aa llittle wwashing-uup
liquid aadded.
Clean the inside with warm water and
bicarbonate of soda.
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
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.
