Before use GB
Position and clean the cabinet as explained in the
section "Installation".
Before inserting the power plug into the
outlet and switching on the cabinet for
the first time, leave it standing upright
for about 4 hours. Otherwise the
compressor may sustain damage. This
time will allow the oil sufficient time to
return to the compressor.
Using the freezer GB
To start the freezer and set the
correct temperature
Turn the thermostat control to the desired position.
MIN The lowest position of the thermostat control
results in the highest temperature inside the cabinet.
MAX The highest position of the thermostat control
results in the lowest temperature inside the cabinet.
H: Switched off.
Allow the cabinet to run for a period of 24 hours
whenever the temperature setting is changed. This
will allow the temperature to stabilise inside the
cabinet.
Once set, the temperature display shows "- -" until
the temperature inside the fridge reaches -1°C or
below.

27
Electrolux 818 19 37-01/5
Temperature inside the freezer
To ensure that foodstuff will keep for a long time, be
sure that the temperature inside the freezer is -18°C
or below. Please note, however, that the energy
consumption increases as the temperature decreases.
The built-in temperature display shows the warmest
temperature inside the freezer. If the temperature is
measured using a thermometer, put it between the
products since this will reflect the real temperature
in the frozen products. It is normal that the built-in
temperature display shows a temperature slightly
above that measured in other ways.
Switching off
Turn the control anti-clockwise past the click
position to "H".
Unplug the power supply plug from the wall socket.
Alarms and other features
Temperature alarm
The warning lamp lights and an alarm sounds if it
gets warmer than -10°C.
Switching off the audible alarm: Press the switch-off
button. The red warning lamp goes out when it
becomes colder than -9°C.
The temperature alarm can start also at
colder than -9°C if e.g. the door has been
left open for a long time.
Freezing
Press the fast-freezing button approx. 24 hours prior
to placing the food in the freezer.
You need not press the fast-freezing button when
freezing smaller quantities of food during any
24-hour period.
Fast-freezing is automatically switched of apporox
50 hours after the button has been pressed.
Fast-freezing can be discontinued by pressing the
fast-freezing button once again.
The yellow fast-freezing lamp remains lit as long as
the fast-freezing button is engaged.

Practical advice on freezing
·When freezing products, use the top shelf, and if
necessary the shelf beneth that.
·Place the foods directly on the freezer shelves.
·Spread out the products as much as possible to
allow air to circulate between them.
·Do not place food products which are to be
frozen directly against other frozen food.
The heat from the unfrozen food may cause
the frozen food to thaw on the surface.
·Once frozen, re-arrange the products and put
them as close as possible to each other.
The food will then stay cold longer in the
event of a power failure.
·When freezing large amounts of food/provisions,
the accumulator moves to the tray/space nearest
to the lower freezing shelf.
·Do not freeze too much food at the same time.
The freezing capacity of the unit is indicated in
the specifications section.
Suitable storage periods
Food purchased in frozen condition: Follow the
advice on the maximum storage period indicated on
the packaging.
Fresh food frozen at home:
Fatty and salty food should not be kept frozen for
more than three months. Cooked food and low-fat
food may be kept up to about six months. Lean food
and berries can be kept for approximately one year.
Cabinet interior
Freezer drawers
The freezer drawers make it easy to quickly and
easily find the food package you want. To gain
space, the drawers can be removed and the products
can be put directly on the shelves. On all shelves,
except the top shelf, it is possible to place products
that protrude 20 mm from the front edge. This
allows maximum use of the available space.
Do not remove the bottom drawer. It is required to
assure proper air circulation.
Freezer tray
Use the freezer tray to freeze berries and vegetables.
After about 4 hours the food will be thoroughly
frozen and can then be packaged normally. Food
that is frozen in this way will not stick together,
enabling you to use only the amount required.
Ice cubes
Fill the ice tray to max. 3/4 since water expands as it
freezes. Release the ice cubes by twisting the ice
tray.
If ice cubes are kept for a long time, they will dry
out and the taste is affected. Thus, throw away old
ice cubes and prepare new ones when needed.
Check that the cabinet is operating and
keeps the set temperature one day after
switching it on for the first time. Only
after then should the freezer be used to
freeze fresh foodstuff.
Thawing
It is best to use the fridge to thaw food. Place the
foodstuff on a plate with a raised edge to prevent
liquids from running out. To quickly thaw food, put
it in room temperature or in cold water. When using
a microwave oven to thaw foodstuff, follow the
manufacturer's instructions.

Hints and Tips GB
Saving energy
·Pay careful attention to where the cabinet is
placed. See the section "Installation". When
installed correctly, the cabinet will consume less
energy.
·Try to avoid keeping the door open for long
periods, or opening the door too frequently as
warm air will enter the cabinet, and cause the
compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
·Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the
door from closing properly.
·Thaw frozen food in the fridge. This will ensure
safer defrosting of foods and reduce the work of
the refrigeration unit
·It is advisable to periodically clean the
refrigeration system at the back of the appliance
with a duster or vacuum cleaner.
·Food which is to be frozen (when cool) should
be placed in the fridge before being transfered to
the freezer.
·Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by
packing all foodstuffs into airtight packages
before placing them in the freezer.
·Carefully follow the advice on freezing products
in the section "Using the freezer". This will
prevent wasting energy.
·Do not set the temperature too low in the freezer.
A suitable temperature is in the range of -18°C
to -20°C .
·Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a
thickness of 3-5 mm.
·Make sure the door gasket is complete and
always clean.
Food Storage
·To obtain the best results from your appliance,
neither hot foods nor liquids which may
evaporate, should be placed in the larder
compartment.
·Avoid buying frozen food if you can not store it
straight away. The use of an insulated container is
advisable. When you arrive home place the
frozen food in the freezer immediately.
·Ensure that food placed in the freezer is dated and
labelled and used in date order to ensure that food
is consumed at its best.
Remove suspect food from you refrigerator and
clean, refer to cleaning and maintenance.
Protect the environment
·Hand over the cabinet packaging and discarded
fridges and freezers to a recycling station.
Contact your local council or Environmental
Health office for more information.
·Keep foodstuff in re-usable containers. Cut down
on disposable material as much as possible.
·When cleaning the cabinet, use a mild
washing-up detergent.
·Follow the advice in the section "Saving energy"
·The door gasket and coolant used in this
cabinet will not harm the ozone layer.
·All parts in the packaging can be recycled.
·The cabinet has been designed for easy
dismantling and subsequent recycling.
Maintenance and Cleaning GB
Removing the ventilation grille
The ventilation grille can be removed, e.g. to wash
the grille.
Make sure the door is open when removing the
ventilation grille. Unsnap the upper edge of the grille
by pulling outward/downward. Then pull the grille
straight out to completely remove it.

30
Electrolux 818 19 37-01/5
Cleaning
Clean the cabinet at regular intervals.
Do nt use detergents, abrasive powers,
high perfumed cleaning products, wax
polishes or cleaning products
containing bleach or alcohol when
cleaning the product
Disconnect the appliance from electricity supply.
Internal Cleaning
Clean the inside and accessories with warm water
and bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0,5 litre water)
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to
ensure they are clean and free from debris.
External Cleaning
Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water.
Remove the ventilation grille (see the section
"Removing the ventilation grille") and vacuum-clean
under the cabinet. Once or twice a year dust the
condenser (black grille) and the compressor at the
back of the appliance, with a brush or vacuum
cleaner, as an accumulation of dust will affect the
performance of the appliance and cause excessive
electricity consumption.
When moving the cabinet, lift it by
the front edge to avoid scratching the
floor.
Defrosting the freezer
A certain amount of frost will always form on the
freezer shelves and around the top compartment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a
thickness of about 3-5 mm.
Remove the freezer drawers and place them on top
of each other by turning every other drawer one half
turn. Put insulating material around the drawers, e.g.
blankets or newspapers.
The frozen products can also be packed closely
together and be kept in a cold location, e.g. in the
fridge.
Defrosting can be accelerated by placing bowls with
hot water (not boiling) inside the freezer.
Take out the drain spout and place it in the bottom
freezer drawer where water can collect.
Loosen the ventilation grille to enable the bowl to fit
under the drain spout.
Carefully scrape off the ice when it starts to thaw.
Use a wood or plastic scraper. Do not use sharp
objects as these may damage the interior.
When all the ice has melted, clean and wipe the
cabinet dry, then push the drain spout back in place.
Switch on the cabinet and replace the frozen
foodstuff.
Never use a hair drier or other heating
appliances to speed up defrosting. Excessive
heat may damage the plastic interior, and
humidity could enter the electric appliance
making it live.

31
Electrolux 818 19 37-01/5
To Change the Light Bulb
The light is switched on automatically when the
door is opened. Before replacing the light bulb,
disconnect the power plug from the outlet.
Press the spring together and pull the grille
downward at the same time.
Use a bulb of the same type, E14 socket, maximum
ratingof25W.
When the appliance is not in use
Disconnect the appliance from electricity supply.
Empty all foods and clean the appliance, leaving the
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.
Something Not Working GB
Before contacting your local Service Force Centre check the following point:
Problem Possible cause / Remedy
Audible alarm + flashing red warning
lamp. (It is too warm inside the freezer.)
Switch off the audible alarm by pressing the alarm shut-off
button.
The audible alarm could have been triggered by:
The cabinet having been recently switched on and the
temperature still being too high. See the chapter "Switching on
and setting the temperature".
The door may have been open for so long that the `door open'
alarm was triggered.
It is too warm inside the freezer. Set a lower temperature.
Make sure that the door is completely closed and that the
insulating strip is complete and clean.
If warm food products have been put inside the freezer, wait for
a couple of hours and then check the temperature again.
Distribute the food products to allow cold air to circulate
around them.
It is too cold inside the freezer. Set a warmer temperature.
Action Freeze could have been switched on.
The temperature display shows the highest temperature inside
the cabinet. Thus a difference between the temperature
indicated on the display and the (average) temperature
measured in another way is normal.
Too much frost and ice are produced. Make sure that the door is completely closed and that the
insulating strip is complete and clean.
Set a warmer temperature.
The compressor operates continuously. Set a warmer temperature.
Make sure that the door is completely closed and that the
insulating strip is complete and clean.
The temperature where the cabinet is placed is above normal
room temperature.

32
Electrolux 818 19 37-01/5
The cabinet does not operate at all.
Cooling or interior light does not
operate. No indicator lamps light.
The power plug is not properly connected.
The fuse has blown.
The cabinet is not switched on.
Power does not reach the cabinet. (Try connecting another
electrical device to the power outlet.)
Sound level in cabinet is too high. The refrigerating system will always produce some sounds. A
pulsing sound is heard when coolant is pumped inside the
cooling pipes. A ticking sound from the thermostat can be
heard when the compressor switches on and off. The sound
level varies depending on the operation of the cabinet.
If you feel the sound level is incorrect:
Make sure the pipes at the back of the cabinet not touch each
other. Carefully bend them if they do.
If the cushion spacers (between the cabinet wall and pipes)
come loose, put them back in place again.
Carefully follow the instructions in the chapter "Installing the
cabinet".
Power failure Do not unnecessarily open the cabinet, except when the power
cut seems to be long, in which case the food products should be
moved to another cabinet that works. If the frozen products are
still hard following the power cut, they may be immediately
refrozen. If the food products have thawed but are still fresh,
they may be used, however they should be prepared before
re-freezing or eating them.
