• If this appliance featuring magnetic door
seals is to replace an older appliance
having a spring lock (latch) on the door or
lid, be sure to make that spring lock unusable before you discard the old appliance. This will prevent it from becoming a
death trap for a child.
GENERAL SAFETY
Warning!
Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance
enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of
obstruction.
• The appliance is intended for keeping
foodstuff and/or beverages in a normal
household as explained in this instruction
booklet.

artificial means to speed up the thawing
process.
• Do not use other electrical appliances
(such as ice cream makers) inside of refrigerating appliances, unless they are approved for this purpose by the manufacturer.
• Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
• The refrigerant isobutane (R600a) is contained within the refrigerant circuit of the
appliance, a natural gas with a high level
of environmental compatibility, which is
nevertheless flammable.
During transportation and installation of
the appliance, be certain that none of the
components of the refrigerant circuit become damaged.
If the refrigerant circuit should become
damaged:

DISPLAY
The Temperature Display shows the following information:
• During normal operation the Display
shows the set temperature.
• During temperature adjusting operation,
the set (DESIRED) temperature is indicated by flashing numbers.
TEMPERATURE REGULATION
The temperature can be adjusted between
+2 °C and +8 °C.
ance shall be disposed according to
the applicable regulations to obtain
from your local authorities. Avoid damaging the cooling unit, especially at the
rear near the heat exchanger. The materials used on this appliance marked
by the symbol
are recyclable.
Set default temperature +5 °C, it is optimal
for food storage.
The set temperature of the fridge may be
adjusted by pressing the Temperature Regulator Buttons. By pressing any of two buttons the DESIRED temperature modified by
1 °C.
The Temperature Display shows the set
temperature.
The set temperature will be reached within
24 hours.
Important! After a power failure or long
period out of use the set temperature
remains stored.
For a correct storage of food and drink
the +5 °C temperature should be set.
However, the exact setting should be chosen keeping in mind that the temperature inside the appliance depends on:
• room temperature
• how often the door is opened
• the quantity of food stored
• the location of the appliance.
Important! If the ambient temperature is
high or the appliance is fully loaded, and the
appliance is set to the lowest temperatures,
it may run continuously causing frost to
form on the rear wall. In this case the
Temperature Regulator must be set to a
higher temperature to allow automatic
defrosting and therefore reduced energy
consumption.

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.
period (e.g. the summer holidays) without
the formation of a bad smell.
Important! The fridge compartment must
be empty when the holiday function is on.
To activate the function, do this step:
1. press continuously the temperature
regulator (warmest) until the letter "H"
(Holiday) appears on the temperature
indicator. The Holiday function sets the
temperature approx +15°C. The refrigerator is in the energy-saving mode.
To deactivate the function, do this step:
1. set the required temperature by pressing the fridge temperature regulator.
Important! Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these will damage the finish.
DAILY USE
MOVABLE SHELVES
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped
with a series of runners so that the shelves
can be positioned as desired.
For better use of space, the front halfshelves can lie over the rear ones.
Important! Do not move the glass shelf
above the vegetable drawer and the bottle
shelf to ensure correct air circulation.

POSITIONING THE DOOR SHELVES
To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the door shelves can be placed
at different heights.
To make these adjustments proceed as follows:
gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the
arrows until it comes free, then reposition
as required.
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 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.

• do not store warm food or evaporating
liquids in the refrigerator
• do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it
has a strong flavour
• position food so that air can circulate
freely around it
HINTS FOR REFRIGERATION
Useful hints:
Meat (all types) : wrap in polythene bags
and place on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer.
For safety, store in this way only one or two
days at the most.
Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc..: these
should be covered and may be placed on
any shelf.
Fruit and vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the special
drawer(s) provided.
Butter and cheese: these should be placed
in special airtight containers or wrapped in
aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude
as much air as possible.
Milk bottles: these should have a cap and
should be stored in the bottle rack on the
door.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not
packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator.

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.
• 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. 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 OF THE REFRIGERATOR
Frost is automatically eliminated from the
evaporator of the refrigerator compartment
electrolux 7
every time the motor compressor stops,
during normal use. The defrost water drains
out through a trough into a special container at the back of the appliance, over the
motor compressor, where it evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the defrost water drain hole in the middle of the
refrigerator compartment channel to prevent the water overflowing and dripping onto the food inside. Use the special cleaner
provided, which you will find already inserted into the drain hole.
PERIODS OF NON-OPERATION
When the appliance is not in use for long
periods, take the following precautions:
disconnect the appliance from elec-
•
tricity supply
• remove all food
• defrost (if foreseen) and clean the appliance and all accessories
• leave the door/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.
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.
