4.2 Positioning the door shelves
To permit storage of food packages of
various sizes, the door shelves can be
placed at different heights.
ENGLISH 7

To make these adjustments proceed as
follows:
1. Gradually pull the shelf in the direction
of the arrows until it comes free.
2. Reposition the shelf as required.
The model is equipped with a variable
storage box which is fitted under a door
shelf compartment and can be slide
sideways.
4.3 Carbon Air Filter
our appliance is equipped with a carbon
filter TASTEGUARD in a drawer in the rear
wall of the fridge compartment.
The filter purifies the air from unwanted
odours in the fridge compartment
meaning that the storage quality will be
further improved.
During the operation, always
keep the air ventilation drawer
closed.
4.4 Low Temperature
compartment
In models equipped with this feature in the

the temperature controller to a colder
setting and wait 12 hours before checking
the temperature indicator again.
OK
OK
A
B
After putting fresh food into
the appliance or after opening
the door repeatedly or for a
long period, it is normal for
the indicator not to show
"OK"; wait at least 12 hours
before readjusting the
temperature controller.
4.6 FreeStore
The refrigerator compartment is equipped
with a device that allows for rapid cooling
of foods and more uniform temperature in
the compartment.
This device activates by itself when
needed, for example for a quick
temperature recovering after door opening
or when the ambient temperature is high.
www.electrolux.com8

It is possible to switch on the device
manually when needed (refer to "FreeStore
function").
The FreeStore device stops
when the door is open and
restarts immediately after the
door closing.
5. HINTS AND TIPS
5.1 Normal operating sounds
The following sounds are normal during
operation:
• A faint gurgling and bubbling sound
from coils sound when refrigerant is
pumped.
• A whirring and pulsating sound from
the compressor when refrigerant is
pumped.
• A sudden cracking noise from inside
appliance caused by thermic dilatation
(a natural and not dangerous physical
phenomenon).
• A faint click noise from the temperature
regulator when the compressor
switches on or off.
5.2 Hints for energy saving
• Do not open the door frequently or
leave it open longer than absolutely
necessary.
5.3 Hints for fresh food
refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
• do not store warm food or evaporating
liquids in the refrigerator
• do cover or wrap the food, particularly
if it has a strong flavour
• position food so that air can circulate
freely around it
5.4 Hints for refrigeration
Useful hints:
• Meat (all types) : wrap in polythene
bags and place on the glass shelf
above the vegetable drawer.
• For safety, store in this way only one or
two days at the most.
• Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc..: these
should be covered and may be placed
on any shelf.
• Fruit and vegetables: these should be
thoroughly cleaned and placed in the
special drawer(s) provided.
• Butter and cheese: these should be
placed in special airtight containers or
wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene
bags to exclude as much air as
possible.
• Bottles: these need a cap and should
be stored on the door bottle shelf, or (if
equipped) on the bottle rack.
• Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic,
if not packed, must not be kept in the
refrigerator.
6. CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
ENGLISH 9

6.1 General warnings
CAUTION!

carrying out any maintenance
operation.
This appliance contains
hydrocarbons in its cooling
unit; maintenance and
recharging must therefore
only be carried out by
authorized technicians.
The accessories and parts of
the appliance are not suitable
for washing in a dishwasher.
6.2 Periodic cleaning
CAUTION!
Do not pull, move or damage
any pipes and/or cables
inside the cabinet.
CAUTION!
Take care of not to damage
the cooling system.
CAUTION!
When moving the cabinet, lift
it by the front edge to avoid
scratching the floor.
The equipment has to be cleaned
regularly:

lukewarm water and some neutral
soap.
2. Regularly check the door seals and
wipe clean to ensure they are clean
and free from debris.
3. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
4. If accessible, clean the condenser and
the compressor at the back of the
appliance with a brush.
This operation will improve the
performance of the appliance and
save electricity consumption.
6.3 Defrosting of the refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from the
evaporator of the refrigerator
compartment every time the motor
compressor stops, during normal use. The
defrost water drains out through a trough
into a special container at the back of the
appliance, over the motor compressor,
where it evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the
defrost water drain hole in the middle of
the refrigerator compartment channel to
prevent the water overflowing and
dripping onto the food inside.
6.4 Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long
periods, take the following precautions:
1. Disconnect the appliance from
electricity supply.
2. Remove all food.
3. Clean the appliance and all
accessories.
4. Leave the door/doors open to prevent
unpleasant smells.
WARNING!
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.
6.5 Replacing the carbon filter
The air filter is a consumable
accessory and as such is not
covered by the guarantee.
To get best performance the carbon air
filter should be changed once every year.
New active air filters can be purchased
from your local dealer.
Refer to “Installation of the carbon air filter”
for the instructions.
