Use of the fridge compartment
How to use the refrigerator
Sufficient air circulation is required
for the proper operation of this
appliance. 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.
Food odours can be
transferable, 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.
Temperature regulation
The temperature of this compartment
may be regulated between +2°C and
+8°C.
During normal functioning the indicator
shows the temperature inside the fridge.

possible to de-activate the function at any
time by changing the selected
temperature in one of the compartment.
Shopping Function
If you need to insert a large amount of
warm food, for example after doing the
grocery shopping, we suggest activating

symbol which means that it is
suitable for freezing fresh food and
for long term storage of frozen and
deep-frozen food.
Temperature regulation
The temperature may be regulated
between -16°C and -22°C.
We suggest setting the internal
temperature of approximately -18°C,
which guarantees proper freezing and
conservation of the frozen foods.
Attention!
A difference between the temperature
displayed and temperature setting is
normal. Especially when:
- a new setting has recently been

A difference up to 5°C inside the
compartment is normal.
During normal functioning the indicator
shows the warmest temperature inside
the compartment.
Important
In the event of accidental defrosting,
for example due to a power failure, if
the power has been off for longer
than the value shown in the technical
characteristics chart under "rising
time", the defrosted food must be
consumed quickly or cooked
immediately and then refrozen (after
cooling).

Freezing fresh food
The freezer compartment is suitable for
long term storage of commercially frozen
and deep-frezen food, and for freezing
fresh food.

16 electrolux GB
Frozen Food Storage
When using for the first time or if the
freezer has been out of use for some
time, we advise you to run your appliance
for at least 2 hours before storing frozen
food.
Do not exceed the storage period
indicated by the manufacturer.
Do not open the door frequently or leave
it open longer than is necessary.
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 furtner
freezing. Intermediate freezing does not
deteriorate foods already stored.
If large quantities of food are to be
stored, remove the baskets except the
lowest one from appliance and place
food on the shelves.
Removal of freezing baskets from
the freezer
The freezing baskets have a limit stop to
prevent their accidental removal or falling
out. To remove from the freezer, pull the
basket towards yourself and, upon
reaching the end point, remove the
basket by tilting its front upwards.
To put it back, slightly lift the front of the
basket to insert it into the freezer. Once
you are over the end points, push the
baskets back in their position.
The maximum quantity of foods to freeze
in 24 hours is shown on the rating
To freeze the amount of food indicated on
the rating plate, place the food directly
onto the cooling surface (remove the
drawer or basket).
In case the food is frozen inside the
drawers or baskets, the maximum
quantity is slightly reduced.
Place the food to be frozen in the
compartment, as this is the coldest point.
To freeze fresh foods, you will need to
activate the fast freeze function. Press
key D (several times if necessary) until
the corresponding icon appears
You must confirm the choice by pressing
key E within few seconds. You will hear
the buzzer and on the display will appear
some animation with lines.
After a pre-cooling period of 24 hours,
place the foods in the freezer.
The freezing process takes 24 hours.
During this period do not put other foods
in the freezer.
This function stops automatically after 52
hours.
It is possible to de-activate the function at
any time by pressing key D until the
corresponding icon flashes and then key
E.

electrolux 17
GB
Important
Do not put carbonated liquids in the
freezer.
Ice lollies, if consumed immediately after
removal from the freezer can cause a low
temperature skin burn.
In the event of a power cut the food in the
freezer will not be affected if the power
cut is short and the freezer is full. Do not
open the door. Should the food begin to
thaw it must be consumed quickly and
must not be re-frozen. (See Hints and
Tips)
Do not remove items from the freezer if
your hands are damp/wet, as this could
cause skin abrasions or frost/freezer
burns.
Thawing
Deep frozen or frozen food, prior to being
used, can be thawed in the fridge or at
room temperature, depending on the
time available. Small food items may even
be cooked from frozen, in this case
cooking will take longer.
Any frozen food which is thawed
accidentally should either be eaten as
soon as possible, or thrown away.
Alternatively, if the food is uncooked and
has not been completely defrosted it can
be cooked and then refrozen.
Defrosted cooked food must
never be refrozen.
)To Make Ice Cubes
1. Fill the ice cube tray ¾full with cold
water, place in the freezing
compartment and leave to freeze.
2. To remove the cubes twist the tray or
hold it under running water for a few
seconds.
Never try to free an ice tray that is
frozen to the freezer compartment by
using pointed or sharp edged objects.
Hints & T
Hints & Tips ips
Normal Operating Sounds
You may hear faint gurgling or
bubbling sounds when the refrigerant
is pumped through the coils or tubing.
When the compressor is on, the
refrigerant is being pumped round and
you will hear a whirring sound or
pulsating noise from the compressor.
A thermostat controls the compressor
and you will hear a faint 'click' when
the thermostat cuts in and out.
Food Storage
To obtain the best performance from your
freezer:

18 electrolux GB
Do not store warm food or evaporating
liquid.
Avoid buying frozen food if you cannot
store it straight away. The use of an
insulated container is advisable. When
you arrive home, place the frozen food
in the freezer immediately.
Do not push food together too much,
try to allow air to circulate around each
item.
Do not store food uncovered.
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.
Lean food keeps better and longer
than fatty food, salt reduces the
storage time.
Wrap the food in polythene or
aluminium freezing bags or foil so that
they adhere to the food and provide an
airtight seal.
Packaging which is swollen or has
traces of refrozen water droplets on
the pack could indicate that the
product has not been kept at a
suitable temperature and that it may
have lost its original quality. Partially
thawed food must not be refrozen, it
must be consumed within 24 hours.
Never exceed the storage times
indicated by the manufacturer.
Energy Saving Advice
Do not install the appliance close to
sources of heat, such as a boiler or
radiator.
Locate the appliance in a cool well
ventilated room and make sure that
the air openings of the appliance are
not obstructed.
Avoid unnecessary frosting in the
cabinet by packing all foodstuffs into
airtight packages before placing them
in the freezer.
Food which is to be frozen (when cool)
should be placed in the fridge before
being transferred to the freezer.
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.
In the Event of a Power Failure
If there is a power failure during the
storage of frozen foods, keep the door
closed. If the temperature within your
freezer should rise, do not refreeze the
food without checking its condition. The
following guidelines should assist you:
Ice Cream: Once thawed should be
discarded.
Fruits & Vegetables: If soft should be
cooked and used up.
Breads & Cakes: Can be refrozen
without danger.
Shellfish: Should be refrigerated and
used up quickly.
Cooked Dishes: i.e. casseroles should
be refrigerated and used up.
Large Pieces of Meat: Can be refrozen
providing there are still ice crystals
remaining within them.
Small Joints: Should be cooked and can
then be refrozen as cooked dishes.

electrolux 19
GB
Chicken: Should also be cooked and
refrozen as a fresh dish.
Maintenance and Cleaning

abrasive powders, highly perfumed
cleaning products or wax polishes to
clean the interior as these will
damage the surface and leave a
strong odour.
External Cleaning
Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy
water.
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 the Appliance is not in Use
When the appliance is not in use for long
periods, disconnect from the electricity
supply, empty all foods and clean the
appliance, leaving the door open to
prevent unpleasant smells.
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 temperetaure increases in the
cooling chambers, they need more
energy.
This appliance defrosts the cooling
surface of the refrigerator without any
external intervention. The termostatic
control interrupts the operation of
compressor at regular intervals. 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.
Water flows through the defrost water
outlet through the back into the
evaporator tray which sits on the top of
compressor and evaporates due to its
warmth.
Check and clean the defrost
water outlet regularly - a label
inside the appliance warns you about
this. If it is blocked the defrost water
can cause damage to the insulation of
the appliance.
Clean the melting water outlet with the
supplied pipe scraper that can be seen in
the figure.
The pipe scraper should be stored in the
outlet.
Extra care should be taken when putting
wrapped food, especially in paper, in the
appliance. Blockages to the defrost
water outlet often occurs when wrapped
foods are placed in the back of the
refrigerator, and the wrapping contacts
the back plate of the fridge and sticks to
it.

In case of increased demand e. g.
during heatwawes, the refrigerator
temporarily operates 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 normal.
Defrosting of the freezer is automatic in
this model.
