Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

warning

R600a refrigerant This appliance contains a small quantity of environmentally friendly, but ﬂ ammable, non-synthetic R600a refrigerant:

• Ensure that the tubing of the refrigerant circuit is not damaged during transportation and installation.

• Leaking refrigerant may cause eye injuries or ignite.

• The room for installing appliance must be at least 1m3 per 8g of refrigerant. The amount of refrigerant in the appliance can be found on the rating plate inside the appliance.

warning

• If pressurised aerosol containers bear the word ‘ﬂ ammable’ and/or a small ﬂ ame symbol, do not store them inside any refrigerator or freezer. If you do so you may cause an explosion.

• When you dispose of your old refrigerators and freezers, remove any doors. Children can suffocate if they get trapped inside.

• This appliance contains insulation formed with ﬂ ammable blowing gases. Avoid safety hazards by carefully disposing of this appliance.

• Don’t use a steam cleaner. If live components come into contact with condensing steam, they may short-circuit or cause an electric shock.

warning

The refrigerator must be plugged into its own dedicated electrical outlet.

The plug must be accessible when the refrigerator is in position.

It is essential the power point is properly earthed to ground. Consult a qualiﬁ ed electrician if you are unsure.

Don’t use extension cords or adapter plugs with this refrigerator.

If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced by a qualiﬁ ed service technician.

Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning it, or changing the light bulb to avoid electric shock.

Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling the electrical cord as this may damage it. Grip the plug ﬁ rmly and pull straight out.

Choose a location for your refrigerator that isn’t too cold. The ambient room temperature should be above 10°C.

Stand your refrigerator in a dry place – avoid areas of high moisture or humidity.

Don’t put the refrigerator in frosty or unprotected areas like a garage or on the verandah.

Keep the refrigerator out of direct sunlight. Don’t locate the refrigerator near stoves, ﬁ res or heaters. When installed correctly, your refrigerator should:

– Have adequate space at the back and sides for air

circulation (refer to “Installing your new appliance”). – Be aligned to the surrounding cupboards. – Have doors that will self-close from a partially open position.

Keep ventilation openings in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure clear of obstruction.

When transporting and installing the refrigerator, care should be taken to ensure that no parts of the refrigerating circuit are damaged.

When disposing of your old refrigerator or freezer, remove all doors. Children can suffocate if they get trapped inside.

Switching off your appliance

If the appliance needs to be switched off for an extended period, the following steps should be taken to reduce the symptoms of mould:

1. Remove all food.

2. Remove the power plug from the power point.

Adequate ventilation around your refrigerator.

The diagram below shows the recommended airspace to allow for ventilation of your refrigerator. If you don’t have a cupboard with a rear gap, the recommended clearance area on top increases from 50mm to 90mm (y) and from 35mm to 75mm (x). When positioned in a corner area, spacing of at least 350mm on the hinge side will allow the doors to open enough to enable the removal of bins and shelves.

NOTE: Doors are designed to sit proud of cabinetry (not ﬂ ush). The clearances shown above are the recommended minimum clearances. The clearance at the rear must not exceed 75mm.

Installing your refrigerator

Your new refrigerator should arrive with the front adjustable rollers wound down, to tilt the top backwards by about 10mm from upright. This will allow your refrigerator door to self-close, providing a consistent closed seal.

10-15mm

caution

The rollers are designed for forward or backward movement only. They are not castors. Moving the refrigerator sideways may damage your ﬂ oor and the rollers.

1. Roll the refrigerator into place.

2. The top of the refrigerator should be tilted back by 10mm. This will allow the doors to self-close providing a consistent door seal.

3. If the refrigerator isn’t tilted back, you can adjust the two front rollers by turning the large, plastic roller nut. One turn of the nut increases the height of the refrigerator by 10mm. If you have difﬁ culty turning the roller nut, have someone tilt the refrigerator back, so you have better access. Alternatively, you can access the rollers from the side, using a ﬂ at screwdriver. (See diagram below).

Large plastic roller nut

Stability foot wound up

4. Check the alignment of the refrigerator to the surrounding cupboards to see if it is level. You can adjust the level with the rollers as detailed in step 3.

The stability foot should also be wound fully up so it will not interfere with the operation of the rollers (see diagram in Step 3).

Adjust front rollers for uneveness of floor eg. wind this roller down or up

5. If you ﬁ nd your refrigerator rocks from corner to corner, it means your ﬂ oor is uneven. Find a piece of plastic or hardboard etc. and pack it ﬁ rmly under the roller.

6. On certain ﬂ oor surfaces the refrigerator may roll forward during operation. If this occurs a “roller stop” or wedge can be placed under the front rollers.

7. You may now need to ﬁ ne-tune the installation by repeating Steps 3, 4 and 5.

6 initial start up frost free refrigeration

Initial start-up

8. When you have the appliance in its ﬁ nal position, it needs to be stabilised. Wind the stability foot down to the ﬂ oor until it just makes contact with the ﬂ oor. Lift the front of the appliance to take the weight off the stability foot, then turn it ¼ turn further to ensure ﬁ rm contact with the ﬂ oor. Whenever you need to move the appliance, be sure to wind the foot back up so that the appliance can roll freely and be sure to reset it when reinstalling.

Refrigerators work by transferring heat from the food inside to the outside air. This operation makes the back and sides of the refrigerator (particularly at start-up) feel warm – which is normal. A cooling coil is located behind the rear wall of the freezer section. This coil cools and removes moisture from the air inside. Avoid placing food against the air vents in the refrigerator, as it affects the efﬁ cient circulation. If the door is opened frequently, a light frosting will occasionally occur on the freezer’s interior. This is normal and will clear after a few days. If the freezer door is accidentally kept open, a heavy frost will coat the inside walls and should be removed. Your new refrigerator uses a high-speed compressor, along with other energy-efﬁ cient components, which may make unusual sounds. These sounds simply indicate your refrigerator is working how it should. They include:

• Compressor running noises;

• Air movement noise from the small fan motor;

• A gurgling sound, similar to water boiling;

• A popping noise, heard during automatic defrosting

Further details can be found in “Troubleshooting”.

9. Clean your refrigerator thoroughly following the instructions in the “Care and maintenance” section of this manual and wipe off any dust that has accumulated during shipping.

10. Plug your refrigerator straight into its own power point and never use a double adapter. If you need to roll the refrigerator to get to the plug, remember to raise the stability foot ﬁ rst.

11. Before you put any food in your refrigerator, it’s recommended you leave it on for 2 or 3 hours to check it is running properly.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed your new refrigerator.

tips and information

• Don’t place food forward of the ribs on the freezer ﬂ oor, as it will keep the door open.

Air vents

Ribs

Electronic display controls

frost free refrigeration electronic display controls 7

The electronic display panel consists of an LCD (liquid crystal display) with white backlighting and 6 touch buttons. When the power is ﬁ rst turned on, the display with backlighting will come on. If no buttons have been pressed and the fridge door is closed the backlighting will turn off after 30 seconds.

Controlling the temperature

We recommend that when you start your refrigerator for the ﬁ rst time, the temperature for the refrigerator is set to 3°C and the freezer to -18°C. If you want to change the temperature, follow the instructions below. Make only small adjustments and wait 24 hours to see if it’s correct. Checking the softness of ice cream is a good indication if your freezer is the right temperature, while feeling the coldness of water kept in the refrigerator is a good way of checking the temperature of the food compartment.

NOTE: When you set a temperature, you set an average temperature for the whole refrigerator cabinet. Temperatures inside each compartment may vary, depending on how much food you store and where you place it. High or low room temperature may also affect the actual temperature inside the refrigerator.

Changing the freezer temperature

Press the freezer button to make the freezer colder in 1°C steps. Once the maximum of -23°C is reached, the display will return to -14°C with the next press of the button. The bar graph gets smaller with colder freezer settings.

Changing the refrigerator temperature

Press the fridge button to make the refrigerator colder in 1°C steps. Once 0°C is reached, the display will return to 7°C with the next button press. The bar graph gets smaller with colder refrigerator settings.

Fast freeze function

Use the fast freeze function when you

add a large amount of food to the freezer compartment. This freezes the food quickly but does not affect the temperature in the refrigerator compartment. To use this function, press the fast freeze button once. An animated icon will light up. The fast freeze function will now operate for 90 minutes and then switch off. If you want to turn the fast freeze function off before 90 minutes have passed, simply press the fast freeze button again. The icon will disappear and the freezer will return to

normal operation.

Freezer temperature alarm

If the alarm sounds for no apparent reason,

check whether anything is keeping the door open. If the freezer becomes too warm due to the freezer door being left open or warm food being placed too close to the temperature sensor, a buzzer will sound. The icon adjacent to the alarm reset button, the freezer set temperature and bar graph will all ﬂ ash, until the alarm reset button is pressed. Once pressed, the alarm disable icon adjacent to the alarm button will illuminate for 50 minutes, or until the temperature drops to an acceptable level. Make sure nothing is holding the freezer door open and move any warm food away from the temperature sensor. If the freezer is still too warm after 50 minutes, the alarm will sound again, indicating that something may be wrong with the refrigerator.

NOTE: The freezer temperature alarm can be reset for 12 hours by pressing the alarm reset button continuously for 10 seconds.

Fridge door alarm

If the fridge door is left open for more than two minutes, the alarm will buzz and an arrow pointing to an open door will ﬂ ash, along with the temperature setting and bar graph. If you want to leave the door open while you load the refrigerator, you can turn the alarm off for 8 minutes by pressing the alarm reset button.

Child Lock

Press and hold the freezer and fridge buttons together to activate the child lock. This will

disable the display to prevent accidental changes to settings. To turn the child lock off, press and hold the freezer and fridge buttons together.

Drinks chill timer

The drinks chill timer is used to quickly chill a bottle. Place the bottle in the freezer and

the timer can be set for a minimum of 5 minutes to a maximum of 30 minutes. To set, simply press the drinks chill button repeatedly for the number of minutes (in 5-minute intervals). Once set, an animated icon appears beside the drinks chill button, with a timer that counts down one minute at a time. You can change the time or turn the timer off even after the countdown has started. A buzzer will tell you when the time is ﬁ nished and the icon will ﬂ ash until the alarm reset button is pressed. If your drink is not cold enough, reset the drinks chill function (remembering the drink is already partially chilled). Suggested chilling times:

• 10 minutes for cans of drink

• 20 minutes for bottles of beer or wine

• 30 minutes for bottles of soft drink.

Using your appliance

Energy efﬁ ciency

Your refrigerator has been designed to be energy-efﬁ cient and can operate in three modes: Normal, Eco and Holiday.

• Normal mode

Normal mode is used when the refrigerator

door is often opened. This is the normal operating mode of your refrigerator.

• Eco mode

Eco mode can be used if you don’t open

your refrigerator door a lot. It is activated in one of two ways:

– by manually pressing the eco/holiday button once when

in normal mode, or,

– is automatically activated after 30 hours if the refrigerator

door has not been opened.

The leaf icon will appear on the electronic display when

eco mode is on. If eco mode is activated automatically, the refrigerator will revert to normal mode once the refrigerator door is opened. If eco mode is entered manually, opening the door will not revert it back to normal mode. To exit eco mode, simply press the eco/holiday button until the word “normal” is displayed. Use Eco mode when you’re not using the refrigerator all the time (eg. as a long-term storage refrigerator). If the door is going to be opened a lot, switch back to normal mode.

Remember, if eco mode is turned on manually, it won’t

switch off automatically.

• Holiday mode

Use this button when you go on holiday or leave the house for long periods. The

refrigerator minimises defrosting to save energy but maintains your temperature settings. To put the refrigerator into holiday mode, press the eco/holiday mode button until the aeroplane icon appears. The holiday mode will operate until the button is pressed again or the refrigerator door is opened.

NOTE: Opening the freezer door won’t effect the operation of either Eco or Holiday modes.

Eco and Holiday Modes minimise defrosting to save energy, while maintaining your temperature settings.

Other special refrigerator features

• Independent control of the compressor and fan to

provide the best performance.

• Extra cooling depending on the number of times the

door is opened.

• Automatic defrost when the door is not frequently opened.

NOTE: Display malfunctions may be due to brief power supply interruptions. If this occurs, turn the refrigerator off at the power point and wait 5 minutes. The refrigerator pressure will need time to equalise before you turn the refrigerator on again at the powerpoint.

This section tells you how to make the most of the many useful features of your new refrigerator.

Crisper bin

Use the crisper bin to store vegetables, fruit or smallgoods.

Humidity control

Change the humidity by sliding the humidity control.

• Storing vegetables

Store vegetables in the crisper bin and remember to set the humidity control to more humid (closed).

• Storing fruit & smallgoods Store fruit and smallgoods in the crisper bin and

remember to set the humidity control to less humid (open).

• Removal (standard Crisper Bins)

1. Empty food from the drawer.

2. Remove the crisper bin(s) by pulling forward, then up and forward again.

3. Remove the crisper shelf by lifting the catches on the underside of the shelf and pulling the shelf forward.

Catch

caution

Never store solvents or ﬂ ammable materials like nail polish remover or lighter ﬂ uid inside your refrigerator. They will affect the life of the plastic components and may taint stored food.

Door storage bins

Your refrigerator is ﬁ tted with door storage bins. These bins adjust to meet different storage needs. All the door bins are completely removable for cleaning. If you want to remove or adjust a bin, lift it over the support lugs on the inner door panel. To replace, push the bin down over the support lugs to lock it in place.

Dairy compartment

Use the dairy compartment to store foods like butter, margarine and cheeses. The compartment is slightly warmer than the rest of the refrigerator compartment, while the lid provides protection against odours.

Deodoriser

Your appliance is ﬁ tted with a catalysing deodoriser to assist with the removal of food odours inside your appliance. Odours are removed by adsorption through the ﬁ lter by the normal operation of the appliance. Keeping food covered and wrapping food with plastic wrap will also help to reduce the odours inside your appliance.

Modula bottle caddy

The Modula bottle caddy is made of anodised aluminium. They are used to store various types of bottles like wine or beer. Bottles should be stored with the bottom end towards the back of the refrigerator. The fridge arrives with three combined caddies, but they can be separated if desired.

Bottle twist holder operation (where ﬁ tted)

The bottle twist holder is used to prevent bottles from falling over. The bottle twist holder consists of two parts, a sliding front, and a rotating retainer ring. The bottle twist holder can be used in two positions:

• Horizontal When the bottle twist holder ring is horizontal, any item

that ﬁ ts within the ring can simply be placed inside it.

Your Twist & serve ice can be relocated to the other side of the freezer as follows:

1. Remove the ice bin and ice cube tray. If the ice tray

assembly is frozen to the carriage, simply squeeze the tray and shelf together to break the ice.

2. Before you remove the ice carriage, remember to

disengage it from the glass shelf (as shown), as it may result in damage to the assembly.

3. Remove the centre runner by disengaging it at the front

of the shelf, and removing it from the rear.

4. Reﬁ t the runner in to the rear of the shelf on the right

hand side and then engage the front (as shown)

5. Fit the carriage by sliding it into the runners until the

front of the carriage engages with the shelf.

6. Reﬁ t the ice tray and ice bin.

Slide away glass shelf

This shelf can be used either as a full depth shelf or when tall items need to be stored at the front of the appliance it can be collapsed to half its original depth.

• To collapse the shelf:

1. Pull the front half of the shelf forward.

• Vertical When the bottle twist holder ring is vertical, it is possible

to simply slide the bottle twist holder along the bottle retainer bar until it is pushed up against a bottle.

Note: The bottle should be constrained on the other side by either the end of the bin or other adjacent bottles.

Twist Ice & Serve

To use, remove the tray, ﬁ ll with water and place back in the freezer. Once ice has formed (approximately 3 hours) simply twist the knob at the front clockwise until the ice drops into the bin below.

Insert into the slot at the rear of the shelf

Then engage into the front of the shelf

2. Then, from the underside, lift the front half of the shelf

by raising the rear edge over the recessed hook detail.

3. Pull the shelf forward and allow the rear to drop into the

side channels.

4. Push the front shelf backwards (3,4) until it reaches the

rear stops.

• Repositioning:

The shelf can be repositioned within the appliance unit by pulling the whole assembly out until the side panels are free to pivot down, then

12 troubleshooting frost free refrigeration

Troubleshooting

If you think something may be wrong with your refrigerator, you can carry out some easy checks before calling for service. You may locate the problem, sparing yourself from inconvenience, saving time and money.

problem solution

Refrigerator is not operating

When there is refrigerator/freezer noise

If there are odours inside the refrigerator

• Check that the power cord is plugged into the power outlet properly and that the outlet is switched ‘ON’.

• Try running another appliance from the power outlet. If no power is coming from the outlet you may have blown a fuse or tripped a circuit of your household power supply.

• Try adjusting the temperature control to a slightly “colder” position.

• It is normal for the freezer fan NOT to operate during the automatic defrost cycle, or for a short time after the appliance is switched on.

Modern refrigerators/freezers with increased storage capacity use high speed compressors. These can provide a seemingly high level of sound which is quite normal. Normal operational sounds include:

• Occasional gurgling, similar to water boiling.

• Air ﬂ ow noise (air circulates because of a small fan).

• A popping noise heard during automatic defrost.

Other strange sounds may mean that you need to check and take action. For example, noises may mean that:

• The cabinet is not level.

• The ﬂ oor is uneven or weak.

• Bottles are badly placed and rattling.

• There are vibrations from an object on top of or behind or beside the refrigerator.

• The back of the refrigerator cabinet is touching the wall.

Remember it is quite normal for noise to seem louder just after the refrigerator starts operating.

• The interior may need cleaning.

• Some foods produce odours.

• Some containers and wrapping can cause odours.

• Ask yourself if the odour started about the same time you started storing something unusual.

problem solution

When the motor seems to run more than expected

If the temperature in the refrigerator is too warm

If the temperature in the refrigerator is too cold

If heavy frosting occurs in the freezer

If water drips on the ﬂ oor

Fridge does not exit vacation mode

If the doors will not close

Your new refrigerator has a large fridge and freezer section to keep cool. So it is normal to frequently hear the sound of the motor. However, to keep operation to a minimum check the following:

• Are doors kept open too long or too often?

• Are controls set too cold? Refer to

Controlling the temperature

“

• Have large amounts of warm food just recently been stored? Summer, festive seasons and holidays usually mean a lot more work for your refrigerator.

• If the day is hot or the room is very warm, the refrigerator will need to run more than normal.

• The refrigerator will run more that normal just after you install it or when it has been turned off for a long time.

• Check that the appliance has enough clearance at the sides, back and top. Refer to “Installing your new appliance”

• Refer to “Controlling the temperature”

• You may have kept the door open too long or too frequently.

• Food containers or packaging may be holding a door open.

• Refer to “Controlling the temperature”

• Increase the temperature to avoid high energy consumption.

Make sure you fully close the freezer and fridge doors. If the doors are left open, a heavy frost will coat the inside of the freezer. If a frost develops, remove it and take care to properly close the doors.

The defrost water tray, (located at the back or underneath of the cabinet) may not be properly positioned, or the drain tube may not be properly positioned to direct water into this tray. You may need to pull the refrigerator away from the wall to check the tray and tube.

Turn appliance off at the power point. Leave off for three (3) minutes for the memory to clear, then turn back on.

• Check whether the top of the refrigerator is tilted back 10-15mm to allowthe doors to self close.

• Check whether something is holding the door open.

It is normal for the freezer door to momentarily open and re-close, when the food storage compartment door is closed. If the freezer door stays open, it indicates that the refrigerator needs to be tilted backwards a little further. If you call a service person to solve this problem you will be charged for the cost of the service call, this is not a warranty fault.

If you still require service

If you have a problem, and the problem persists after you have made the checks mentioned above, contact your nearest Electrolux approved Service Centre or the dealer you bought the refrigerator from. Be ready to quote the model number, 9-digit PNC and 8-digit serial number, which is stated on the label inside the refrigerator compartment.
