6electrolux
• This product should be serviced by
an authorized Service Centre, and
only genuine spare parts should be
used.
• Under no circumstances should
you attempt to repair the appliance
yourself. Repairs carried out by
inexperienced persons may cause
injury or more serious
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
+18°C and +43°C (class T); +18°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.

• 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.

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 suit personal
needs.
There is a grille (if forseen) on the
bottom of the drawer to separate the
fruit and vegetables from any humidity
on the bottom surface.
All parts inside the drawer can be
removed for cleaning purposes.
Humidity Control
The drawer incorporates a device with
slots (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 opened, 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.

• the freezing process takes 24
hours. No further food to be frozen
should be added during this period;
• only freeze top quality, fresh and

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;
•ice cubes, if consumed immediately
after removal from the freezer
compartment, can possibly cause
the skin to be freeze burnt;
