drawer that can be placed in different
positions to allow for the subdivision best
suited to personal needs.
All parts inside the drawer can be
removed for cleaning purposes.
4.3 Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped
with a series of shelves support so that
the shelves can be positioned as desired.
Some shelves must be lifted up by the
rear edge to enable them to be removed.
The shelf (A) above the water
module is recommended to
be placed as shown for good
air circulation.
Do not move the glass shelf
above the vegetable drawer
to ensure correct air
circulation.
A
4.4 Positioning the door shelves
To permit storage of food packages of
various sizes, the door shelves can be
placed at different heights.
To make these adjustments proceed as
follows:
1. Gradually pull in the direction of the
arrows until it comes free.

shelf.
ENGLISH 9

If the shelf is positioned
horizontally, place only
closed bottles.
2. To store previously opened bottles,
pull the shelf up so it can rotate
upwards and be placed on the next
higher level.
A few positions can't be used
due to interference with the
temperature sensor.
4.6 Cleaning the interior

time, wash the interior and all internal
accessories with lukewarm water and
neutral soap so as to remove the
typical smell of a brand-new product,
then dry thoroughly.

abrasive powders, as these
will damage the finish.
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.
• Place the shelf above the water module
as described in the "Daily use" chapter.
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:
www.electrolux.com10

• 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.
5.5 Hints for temperature inside
the fridge
• A suitable temperature inside the fridge
is approx. +4° C. If the temperature
regulator is set to a cold temperature,
the ambient temperature is high or if
the fridge is fully loaded the
compressor will run for a longer time. If
too cold, change to a higher
temperature setting.
CAUTION!
Do not place food against
or close to the
temperature sensor (A).
This can result in too cold
temperatures.
A
• If you want to check the temperature of
food stored in the refrigerator, place a
glass of water centrally in the cabinet,
and put a proper thermometer with an
accuracy of +/– 1 °C into it. After 6
hours the temperature can be
monitored. The measuring shall be
performed under steady-stated
conditions (without changing the load).

8.2 Location
To ensure best performance, if the
appliance is positioned below an
overhanging wall unit, the minimum
distance between the top of the cabinet
and the wall unit must be at least 40 mm.
Ideally, however, the appliance should not
be positioned below overhanging wall
units.
The ventilation space can be:
• directly above the appliance
• behind and above the top cupboard.
In this case, the space behind the top
cupboard must be at least 50 mm
deep.
50 mm
8.3 Electrical connection
• Before plugging in, ensure that the
voltage and frequency shown on the
rating plate correspond to your
domestic power supply.
• The appliance must be earthed. The
power supply cable plug is provided
with a contact for this purpose. If the
domestic power supply socket is not
earthed, connect the appliance to a
separate earth in compliance with
current regulations, consulting a
qualified electrician.
• The manufacturer declines all
responsibility if the above safety
precautions are not observed.
• This appliance complies with the E.E.C.
Directives.

CAUTION!
Some models are fitted with a
silencing pad under the
cabinet. Do not remove this
pad.
8.7 Connecting the water hose.
Water supply should be provided with a
tap and 3/4" male connector within 1,5 m
from the appliance.
This work is to be carried out by a skilled
plumber.
There are different type-approved taps
and tap assemblies on the market.
The water hose must not be cracked,
squeezed or put in tight bends.
The safety valve provided in a package
inside the appliance should be used to
prevent overflow. Before the safety valve is
placed on the tap, turn the pointer
clockwise to number 10 with the enclosed
plastic key. Install the safety valve on the
tap and let at least 10 litres of water flow
through the device. Before connecting the
appliance turn the pointer to number 1 on
the safety valve. If the safety valve has
shut off, detach it and press the red
plunger which is located inside the lower
housing of the device itself.
Before the appliance is placed its final
location, ensure that the water connection
has been correctly carried out, that there
is no leakage at the connection to the
water tap.
Tighten the screw enough by hand.
Make sure that the gasket is properly
positioned in the connector.
We recommend that the appliance is
placed on a "run-off" mat intended for
refrigerators and freezers, which makes it
easier to detect possible leakage
