Important safety information
General safety precautions
Keep these instructions and they
should remain at the appliance when
moving away or changing owner.
This appliance is designed for storing
food, domestic use according to these
instructions only.
Specialised companies that are
qualified to do so by the
manufacturer must carry out
service and repairs including
repairing and changing the power
cord. Accessory parts supplied by
them should be used only for
repairing. Otherwise the appliance
can be damaged or can cause other
damage or injury.
The appliance is out of circuit only in
that case if the plug is removed from
the socket. Before cleaning and
maintenance always unplug it (do not
get it by the cable). If the socket is
difficult to reach, switch off the
appliance by cutting off the current.
Power cord must not be lengthened.
Make sure that the power plug is
not squashed or damaged by the
back of the fridge/freezer.
- A damaged power plug may overheat
and cause a fire.
Do not place heavy articles or the
fridge/freezer itself on the power
cord.
- There is a risk of a short circuit and
fire.
Do not remove the power cord by
pulling on its lead, particularly
when the fridge/freezer is being
pulled out of its niche.
- Damage to the cord may cause a
short-circuit, fire and/or electric
shock.
- If the power cord is damaged, it must
be replaced by a certified service
agent or qualified service personnel.
If the power plug socket is loose,
do not insert the power plug.
- There is a risk of electric shock or
fire.
Without the lamp cover of interior
lighting you must not operate the
appliance.
When cleaning, defrosting, taking out
frozen food or ice tray do not use
sharp, pointed or hard devices, as
they can cause damage to the
appliance.
Be careful not to allow liquids to the
temperature control and lighting box.
Ice and ice-cream can cause hurt if
they are eaten immediately after
removal from the frozen food
compartment.
After dissolving frozen food must not
be refrozen, it must be used up as
soon as possible.
Store pre-packed frozen food in
accordance with the frozen food
manufacturer's instructions.
You must not make defrosting faster
with any electric heating appliance or
chemicals.
Do not put hot pot to the plastic parts.
Do not store flammable gas and liquid
in the appliance, because they may
explode.
Do not store carbonated drinks,
bottled drinks and bottled fruits in the
frozen food compartment.
Check and clean the outlet of melting
water coming during defrosting
regularly - a label inside the appliance
warns you for this. If it is clogged the
melting water gathered can cause
earlier failure.

8electrolux GB
Safety precautions for
installation
Put the appliance to the wall to avoid
touching or catching warm parts
(compressor, condenser) to prevent
possible burn.
When moving the appliance take care
of the plug not to be in the socket.
When placing the appliance take care
not to stand it on the power cord.
Adequate air circulation should be
around the appliance, lacking this
leads to overheating. To achieve
sufficient ventilation follow the
instructions relevant to installation.
For the safety of life and
property keep the precautions
of these user's instructions as the
manufacturer is not responsible for
damages caused by omission.
Safety precautions for
isobutane
Warning
The refrigerant of the appliance is
isobutane (R600a) that is inflammable
and explosive to a greater extent.
Keep ventilation openings, in the
appliance enclosure or in the built-in
structure, clear of obstruction.
Do not use mechanical devices or
other means to accelerate the
defrosting process, other than those
recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
Do not use electrical appliances inside
the food storage compartments of the
appliance, unless they are of the type
recommended by the manufacturer.
Precautions for child safety
Do not allow children to play with the
packaging of the appliance. Plastic foil
can cause suffocation.
Adults must handle the appliance. Do
not allow children to play with it or its
controlling parts.
If you are discarding the appliance pull
the plug out of the socket, cut the
connection cable (as close to the
appliance as you can) and remove the
door to prevent playing children to
suffer electric shock or to close
themselves into it.
This appliance is not intended for use
by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.

General information
The official designation of the appliance
is "partial frostfree refrigerator-freezer
combination with one motor compressor
and freezer placed in the lower part". The
applince has - besides the general
services - a freezer with its own door and
is completely separated from the other
unit.
According to this the appliance is suitable
for storing frozen and deep-frozen food,
freezing products in quantity given in the
user's instructions at home and making
ice.
The applince can meet the requirements
of standards between different
temperature limits according to the
climate class.
The letter symbol for climate class can be
found on the data label.
Putting it into use
Place the accessories into the appliance
then plug to the mains socket.
The thermostat knob is on the light box in
the refrigerator. You can switch the
appliance on and set the temperature
with it by turning the knob clockwise.
The next paragraph will give instructions
for setting.
Controlling the temperature,
setting
The thermostat interrupts the operation
of the appliance automatically for more or
less time depending on the setting then
restarts it assuring the required
temperature.
Instructions for the User
The closer it is set to maximum position
the more intensive the refrigerating will
be. When the thermostat knob is set to a
medium position (between minimum and
maximum), in the freezing compartment -
18 °C, in the fresh food compartment +5
°C can be reached. Setting it to a
medium position is adequate for
everyday use.
The temperature coming about in the
refrigerator is effected by not only the
position of the thermostat but the
ambient temperature, frequency of door
openings and the quantity of food put into
it newly, etc.
In the maximum position - in
case of increased demand
e.g. during heatwaves - the
compressor may operate continually.
This does not cause damages to the
appliance.

Storing in the refrigerator
When placing the different kinds of food
take into consideration the sketch below
in figure:
1. Confectionery, ready-cooked foods,
foods in dishes, fresh meat, cold
cuts, drinks
2. Milk, dairy products, foods in dishes
3. Fruits, vegetables, salads
4. Cheese, butter
5. Eggs
6. Yoghurt, sour cream
7. Small bottles, soft drinks
8. Big bottles, drinks
Storage time and temperature of
foods
The storage time chart at the end of the
instruction book gives information about
storage time.
The storage time can not be determined
exactly in advance, as it depends on the
freshness and handling of the cooled
food. That is why the storage time made
known is only informative.
If you do not want to use up deep-frozen
foods bought immediately they can be
stored for about 1 day (until dissolving) in
the refrigerator.
How to use the refrigerator
For adequate cooling
developing interior air
circulation is necessary. For this reason
you are asked not to cover the air
circulation gaps behind the shelves (e.g.
with tray etc.).
Do not put hot food into the
refrigerator. Allow it to reach
room temperature naturally. In this way
the unnnecessary frost building up can
be avoided.
Foods can take over odours
from each other. So it is
essential to put foods in closed dishes or
wrap them in cellophane, aluminium foil,
grease-proof paper or cling film before
placing them into the refrigerator. This
way foods will keep their moisture e.g.
vegetables will not dry out after some
days.

electrolux 11
GB
Storing in the freezer
It is practical to replace frozen products
into the basket(s) after freezing has
finished. Doing this you could make room
in the freezing compartment for another
freezing. Intermediate freezing does not
deteriorate foods already stored.
In large quantities of food are to be
stored, remove the baskets except the
lowermost one from appliance and place
food on the cooling surface.
Do not forget to keep to the
storage time given on the
packaging of frozen products if you buy
them frozen. To store home-frozen
products see the storing instructions
placed in the door of the freezer.
Symbols signify the various foods,
numbers mean maximum storing time
given in months.
It is safe to store quick-frozen,
frozen foods only if they have not
dissolved even for a short time until
placing them into the freezer. If the deep-
frozen food has already dissolved,
refreezing is not recommended, it has to
be used up as soon as possible
Freezing
The appliance can be used to freeze
fresh food of quantity specified on the
data label. Freezing different products
should always be done after proper
preparing as follows.
Set the thermostat knob to a medium
position.
Put the previously frozen food - or some
of it - to the basket or baskets. Put the
fresh food into the freezing
compartment, leaving enough space for
airflow. If there is some previously frozen
food left in the freezing compartment,
put this food into the back of the
compartment avoiding the contact
between the fresh food and the already
frozen food.
Run the appliance this way for 24 hours.
After 24 hours set the thermostat knob
according to your choice or leave it in a
medium position, which is in general
appropriate for everyday cooling needs.
Setting the thermostat knob to a
higher (e.g. maximum) position
is not recommended. Although doing so
would make the freezing time shorter, on
the other hand the temperature of the
fridge compartment may go permanently
below 0 °C, what yields freezing the food
and drinks stored there.
Never freeze food in bigger
quantity than given in the
'Technical data' at the same time,
otherwise freezing will not be
thorough and after dissolving various
deterioration may take place (losing
taste and aroma, lysing, etc.).
Do not make ice during freezing
preferably, because making ice
reduces freezing capacity.

12 electrolux GB
this part changing during its work,
and parallel with this its dimensions
are slightly changing, too. These
changes might cause a cracking
noise, which is a natural, harmless
phenomenon.
Should you want to check the
temperature of food stored in the
refrigerator, set the thermostat knob
into a medium position, place a glass
of water centrally in the cabinet, and
put a proper thermometer with an
accuracy of +/- 1°C into it. If after 6
hours you measure a value between
+3°C and +8°C, the refrigerator
works properly. The measuring shall
be performed under steady-stated
conditions (without changing the
load).
If the freezer temperature is measured
using a thermometer, put it between
the products since this will reflect the
real temperature in the frozen
products.
Some useful information and
advice
The variable shelves are worth paying
attention to, which increases the
usability of the fresh food
compartment considerably.
Rearranging the shelves is also
possible when the door is open at an
angle of 90°.
After opening and closing the door of
freezer vacuum will rise inside the
appliance because of the low
temperature. So wait 2-3 minutes after
closing the door - if you want to open
it again - while inner pressure
equalises.
Take care of opening the freezer at a
position of thermostatic control so that
the inside temperature can never be
warmer than -18°C.
It is practical to make sure of faultless
operation of the appliance daily so as
to notice possible failure in time and
prevent deterioration of frozen foods.
Normal operating sounds:
A thermostat controls the
compressor and you will hear a faint
click when thermostat cuts in and
out.
You may hear faint gurgling or
bubbling sound when the
refrigerant is pumped through the
coils at the rear, to the cooling
plate/evaporator.
When the compressor is on, the
refrigerant is being pumped round
and you will hear a whirring sound
or pulsating noise from the
compressor.

The appliance and
environment
This appliance does not contain gasses
which could damage the ozone layer, in
either its refrigerant circuit or insulation
materials. The appliance shall not be
discarded together with the urban refuse
and rubbish. Avoid damaging the cooling
unit, especially at the rear near the heat
exchanger. Information on your local
disposal sites may be obtained from your
municipal authorities.
The materials used on this appliance
marked with the sympol are
recyclable.
Maintenance
Defrosting
Bleeding part of the moisture of cooling
chambers in form of frost and ice goes
with the operation of the appliance.
Thick frost and ice has an insulating
effect, so it reduces cooling efficiency as
the temperature increases in the cooling
chambers, they need more energy.
At this type of appliance defrosting the
cooling surface of the refrigerator is
automatic without any external
intervention.The thermostatic control
interrupts the operation of compressor at
regular intervals for more or less time -
during this cooling is interrupted - the
temperature of the cooling surface goes
above 0 °C due to interior heating load of
the compartment, so defrosting occurs.
When the surface temperature of the
cooling surface has reached +3 - +4 °C
the thermostatic control restarts
operation of the system.
Melting water flows through defrost water
outlet leaded through the back into the
evaporator tray maintained on the top of
Hints and ideas
In this chapter practical hints and ideas
are given about how to use the appliance
to reach maximum energy saving and
there is environmental information about
the appliance as well.
How to save energy
Avoid putting the appliance in a sunny
place and near anything that gives off
heat.
Be sure that the condenser and the
compressor are well ventilated. Do not
cover the sections where ventilation
is.
Wrap products in tightly closing dishes
or cling film to avoid building up
unnecessary frost.
Do not leave the door open longer
than necessary and avoid
unnecessary openings.
Put warm foods into the appliance only
when they are at room temperature.
Keep the condenser clean.

compressor and evaporates due to its
warmth.
Check and clean the outlet of
melting water coming during
defrosting regularly - a label
inside the appliance warns you for
this. If it is clogged the melting water
gathered can cause earlier failure as
it can go to the insulating of the
appliance.
Clean the melting water outlet with the
supplied pipe scraper that can be seen in
the figure. The pipe scraper has to be
stored in the outlet.
The most typical case of clogging up in
the melting water outlet when you put
food wrapped in some paper into the
appliance and this paper contacts back
plate of the refrigerator and freezes to it.
If you remove the food right at this
moment the paper will tear and it can
cause clogging up in the outlet by getting
into it. So you are asked to be careful -
because of the above - when placing
foods wrapped in paper into the
appliance.
In case of increased demand e.g.
during heatwaves, the refrigerator
temporarily happens to operate
constantly - during this the automatic
defrosting does not work.
Remaining small ice and frost stains on
back plate of the refrigerator after
defrosting period is not abnormal.

electrolux 15
GB
If something does not work
During operation of the appliance some
smaller but annoying trouble can often
occur, which does not require calling a
technician out. In the following chart
information is given about them to avoid
unnecessary charges on service.
We draw your attention that operation of
appliance goes with certain sounds
(compressor- and circulating sound). This
is not trouble, but means normal
operation.
We draw it to your attention again
that the appliance operates
discontinuously, so the stopping
of compressor does not mean being no-
current. That is why you must not touch
the electrical parts of the appliance
before breaking the circuit.
Trouble shooting
Regular cleaning
It is recommended to wash the inside of
the refrigerator in 3-4 weeks time using
lukewarm water then wipe it (it is practical
to clean the inside of the freezer and
defrost it at a time).
Household cleaner or soap must not be
used.
After breaking the circuit wash the
appliance with lukewarm water then wipe
it. Clean the door gasket with clean
water. After cleaning apply voltage to the
appliance.
It is recommended to remove the dust
and dirt collected on the back of the
refrigerator and the condenser and to
clean the evaporative tray on top of the
compressor once or twice a year.
When the refrigerator
is not in use
In case the appliance will not be used for
a long time follow these steps:
Break the circuit of the appliance.
Remove foods from the refrigerator.
Clean it as written before.
Leave the door open to avoid a build up
of air inside.
How to change the bulb
Should the light fail to work you can
change it as below:
Break the circuit of the appliance.
Unscrew the screw holding the cover (1),
press the rear hook (2) and at the same
time slide the cover in the direction
indicated by arrow (3). So the bulb can
be replaced. (Bulb type: 230-240 V, 15
W, E 14 thread)
After changing the bulb replace the
cover, snap it in place, screw back the
screw and apply voltage to the appliance.
