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 re-
frozen (after cooling).
4.6 Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being
used, can be thawed in the refrigerator
compartment or at room temperature,
depending on the time available for this
operation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still
frozen, directly from the freezer: in this
case, cooking will take longer.
4.7 NaturaFresh Compartment
The storage temperature and the relative
humidity (between 45 and 90 %) provide
optimal conditions for the storage of
various kinds of food.
To learn about the temperature settings in
the NaturaFresh compartment please refer
to the “NaturaFresh compartment setting”
section.
NaturaFresh compartment is suitable for
the storage of a variety of fresh food as it
preserves its high nutritional values as well
as high humidity level much longer in
comparison to the regular refrigerator.
The NaturaFresh compartment is also

www.electrolux.com10

Cakes containing cream and
other kinds of pastry
products can be stored in the
NaturaFresh compartment for
2 or 3 days.
Not to be placed in the
NaturaFresh compartment:
• Cold sensitive fruit which have to be
stored at cellar or room temperature
like pineapple, bananas, grapefruit,
melons, mango, papaya, oranges,
lemons, kiwi fruit.
• The types of food not mentioned above
should be stored in the refrigerator
compartment (e.g. all sorts of cheese,
cold cuts, etc.).
The level of air humidity in the
drawers depends on the
content of humidity in the
stored food, vegetable and
fruit and on the frequency of
door opening.
The NaturaFresh compartment is also
suitable for slow thawing of food. In this
case the thawed food can be stored in the
NaturaFresh compartment for up to two
days.
• Pay attention to the freshness of the
food, especially on the expiry date.
Quality and freshness influence the
storage time.
• The whole storage cycle time will
depend on the preservation conditions
made prior to the final storage in the
fridge.
• Food, fruit or vegetables should always
be packed or wrapped up before
storage.
• Animal food: always store packed and
dry.
• Food rich in proteins will go bad
quicker. This means seafood will spoil
before fish which in turn will spoil
before meat. While storing food in a
NaturaFresh compartment storage
time for that kind of food can be
increased by up to three times as well
without loss on quality.
• All food stored in a NaturaFresh
compartment should be taken out of
the drawers roughly 15-30 min before
consumption, particularly fruit and
vegetables to be consumed without
any additional cooking process.
Allowing fruit and vegetables to return
to room temperature will improve the
texture and flavour.
4.9 DYNAMICAIR
The refrigerator compartment is equipped
with a device that allows rapid cooling of
food and keeps a more uniform
temperature in the compartment.
This device activates automatically when
needed, for example for a quick
temperature recovery after door opening
or when the ambient temperature is high.
The DYNAMICAIR device
stops when the door is open
and restarts immediately after
the door closing.
4.10 Carbon Air Filter
Your appliance is equipped with a carbon
filter CLEANAIR in a drawer in the
DYNAMICAIR device.
The filter purifies the air from unwanted
odours in the fridge compartment
meaning that the storage quality will be
further improved.
CAUTION!
During the operation, always
keep the air ventilation drawer
closed.
ENGLISH 11

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 a suitable
packaging and place it on the glass
shelf above the vegetable drawer.
Store meat for at most 1-2 days.
• Cooked foods, cold dishes: cover and
place on any shelf.
• Fruit and vegetables: clean thoroughly
and place in a special drawer.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic
must not be kept in the refrigerator if
not packed.
• Butter and cheese: place in a special
airtight container or wrap in an
aluminium foil or a polythene bag to
exclude as much air as possible.
• Bottles: close with a cap and place on
the door bottle shelf, or (if available) on
the bottle rack.
5.5 Hints for freezing
To help you make the most of the freezing
process, here are some important hints:
• the maximum quantity of food which
can be frozen in 24 hours is shown on
the rating plate;
• the freezing process takes 24 hours no
further food to be frozen should be
added during this period;
• freeze only 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;
www.electrolux.com12

• it is advisable to show the freezing in
date on each individual pack to enable
you to keep tab of the storage time.
5.6 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.

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.
ENGLISH 13

6.4 Defrosting of the refrigerator
Defrosting of the fridge compartment is
automatic. The water that forms flows into
a recipient on the compressor and
evaporates. The recipient cannot be
removed.
6.5 Defrosting the freezer
CAUTION!
Never use sharp metal tools
to scrape off frost from the
evaporator as you could
damage it.
A temperature rise of the
frozen food packs, during
defrosting, may shorten their
safe storage life.
