To freeze small amount of fresh foods it
is not necessary to change the present
setting.
To freeze fresh food activate the
FROSTMATIC 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
"FROSTMATIC Function").
4.2 Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period
out of use, let the appliance run at least 2
hours before putting products in the
freezer compartment.
The freezer baskets ensure that it is quick
and easy to find the food packages you
want. If large quantities of food are to be
stored, remove all drawers except for the
bottom basket which secures good air
circulation.
It is possible to place food that protrudes
15 mm from the door on all shelves
except the top one.
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 re-
frozen (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.

5. HINTS AND TIPS
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 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;
• freeze only 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;
• 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.

8.6 Connecting the water hose
WARNING!
Always use a safety valve in
the water connection.
Water supply should be provided with a
tap and 3/4" male connector within 1,5 m
from the appliance.
This work is to be carried out by a skilled
plumber.
There are different type-approved taps
and tap assemblies on the market.
The water hose must not be cracked,
squeezed or put in tight bends.
If the appliance has been purchased
together with the corresponding fridge
the installation should be conducted in
such a way that both appliances share
the safety valve supplied with the fridge.
If this appliance has been purchased as a
single installation or together with an
appliance without water connection, a
safety valve (1504516-00/4) must be
installed. This item can be ordered via
www.electrolux.com
Before the appliance is placed in final
location, ensure that the water
connection has been correctly carried
out and that there is no leakage at the
connection to the water tap.
Tighten the screw enough by hand.
Make sure that the gasket is properly
positioned in the connector.
We recommend that the appliance is
placed on a "run-off" mat intended for
refrigerators and freezers, which makes it
easier to detect possible leakage.
8.7 Levelling
When placing the appliance ensure that
it stands level. If necessary adjust the feet
using the adjustment spanner supplied.
Door alignment is dependent on proper
levelling.
8.8 Starting the ice maker for
the first time
Ensure proper connection to the water
supply, refer to "Connecting the water
hose".
It will start filling water when the
temperature is sufficiently low.
ENGLISH 17

1. Open the tap on the water
connection.
2. Start the freezer.
The ice maker starts automatically.
Do not use ice produced
during the first day to ensure
fresh taste.
8.9 Door reversibility
In case you want to change the opening
direction of the door, contact the nearest
Authorised Service Centre. The
Authorised Service specialist will carry
out the reversibility of the doors at your
cost.
