If this appliance featuring magnetic
door seals is to replace an older
appliance having a spring lock (latch)
on the door or lid, be sure to make
that spring lock unusable before you
discard the old appliance. This will
prevent it from becoming a death-trap
for a child.
These warnings are provided in the
interest of safety. You must read them
carefully before installing or using the
appliance.

yourself. Repairs carried out by
inexperienced persons may cause
injury or more serious

electrolux 7
malfunctioning. Refer to your local
Service Centre, and always insist
on genuine spare parts.
• This appliance contains
hydrocarbons in its cooling unit;
maintenance and recharging must
therefore only be carried out by
authorized technicians.
Use
• The domestic refrigerators and
freezers are designed to be used
specifically for the storage of edible
foodstuffs only.
• Best performance is obtained with
ambient temperature between +16°C
and +43°C (class T); +16°C and
+38°C (class ST); +16°C and +32°C
(class N); +10°C and +32°C (class
SN). The class of your appliance is
shown on its rating plate.
Warning: when the ambient
temperature is not included within
the range indicated for the class of
this appliance, the following
instructions must be observed:
when the ambient temperature
drops below the minimum level, the
storage temperature in the freezer
compartment cannot be
guaranteed; therefore it is advisable
to use the food stored as soon as
possible.
• Frozen food must not be re-frozen
once it has been thawed out.
• Manufacturers’ storage
recommendations should be strictly
adhered to. Refer to relevant
instructions.
• The inner lining of the appliance
consists of channels through which
the refrigerant passes. If these
should be punctured this would
damage the appliance beyond
repair and cause food loss. DO
NOT USE SHARP INSTRUMENTS
to scrape off frost or ice. Frost may
be removed by using the scraper
provided. Under no circumstances
should solid ice be forced off the
liner. Solid ice should be allowed to
thaw when defrosting the appliance.
• Do not place carbonated or fizzy
drinks in the freezer as it creates
pressure on the container, which
may cause it to explode, resulting
in damage to the appliance.
Installation
• During normal operation, the
condenser and compressor at the
back of the appliance heat up
considerably. For safety reasons,
minimum ventilation must be as
shown in the instructions.
Attention: kkeep vventilation oopenings

• Care must be taken to ensure that
the appliance does not stand on
the electrical supply cable.
Important: if the supply cord is
damaged, it must be replaced by a
special cord or assembly availa-ble
from the manufacturer or its service
agent.
• If the appliance is transported
horizontally, it is possible that the
oil contained in the compressor
flows in the refrigerant circuit. It is
advisable to wait at least two hours
before connecting the appliance to
allow the oil to flow back in the
compressor.

8electrolux
• There are working parts in this
product which heat up. Always
ensure that there is adequate
ventilation as a failure to do this will
result in component failure and
possible food loss. See installation
instructions.
• Parts which heat up should not be
exposed. Wherever possible the
back of the product should be
against a wall.

Humidity Control
The drawer incorporates a device with
slits (adjustable by means of a sliding
lever),which makes it possible to regulate
the temperature in the vegetable
drawer(s).
The opening in the ventilation slots can be
adjusted with the slider. Right slider:
Ventilation slots opened.
With the ventilation slots open, more air
circulation results in a lower air moisture
content in the fruit and vegetable
compartments. Left slider: Ventilation slots
closed. When the ventilation slots are
closed, the natural moisture content of the
food in the fruit and vegetable
compartments is preserved for longer.
Drawer
The drawer is suitable for storing fruit
and vegetables. There is a separator
inside the drawer that can be placed in
different positions to allow for the
subdivision best suited to personal
needs.
There is a grille (if forseen) on the
bottom of the drawer to separate the
fruit and vegetables from any humidity
that may form on the bottom surface.
All parts inside the drawer can be
removed for cleaning purposes.

Hints for freezing
To help you make the most of the
freezing process, here are some
important hints:
• Place the food to be frozen on the
upper drawer as this is the coldest
place.
• 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;
• only freeze 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;
• do nnot pput ccarbonated lliquids ((fizzy
drinks, eetc.) iintthe ffreezer
compartment aastthey mmay bburst.

on the light diffuser).
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.
Air recycling
The refrigerator compartment is
equipped with a special
D.A.C.(Dynamic Air Cooling) fan which
can be turned on with the switch B
( see fig.).
The green light, when on, means that
the fan is working.
It is suggested that the device be
used when the ambient temperature
exceeds 25°C .
This device allows for rapid cooling of
foods and a more uniform temperature
in the compartment.
