ENGLISH 11

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.
5.6 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.
5.7 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.
www.electrolux.com12

5.8 Freezing and storage of
frozen food
The freezer compartment is suitable for
freezing fresh food and storing frozen
and deep-frozen food for a long time.
When first starting-up or after a period
out of use, before putting the products in
the compartment let the appliance run at
least 2 hours with the FastFreeze
function turned on. To freeze fresh food
activate the FastFreeze function at least
24 hours before placing the food to be
frozen in the freezer compartment.
To freeze fresh food place it in the top
compartment.
The maximum amount of food that can
be frozen in 24 hours is specified on the
rating plate, a label located on the
inside of the appliance.
The freezing process lasts 24 hours,
during this period do not add other food
to be frozen.
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).
5.9 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.
6. HINTS AND TIPS
6.1 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.
6.2 Hints for energy saving
• Do not open the door frequently or
leave it open longer than absolutely
necessary.
6.3 Hints for fresh food
refrigeration
• Do not store warm food or
evaporating liquids in the refrigerator.
• Cover or wrap the food, particularly if
it has a strong flavour.
• Position food so that air can circulate
freely around it.
6.4 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.
ENGLISH 13

• 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.
6.5 Hints for freezing
• Freeze only top quality, fresh and
thoroughly cleaned food products.
• For more efficient freezing and
thawing divide food into small
portions.
• Wrap the food in aluminium foil or
polythene. Make sure that the
packages are airtight.
• To avoid increase in temperature of
already frozen food, do not place
fresh unfrozen food directly next to it.
• Lean foods store better and longer
than fatty ones. Salt reduces the
storage life of food.
• Do not eat ice cubes, water ices or ice
lollies immediately after taking them
out of the freezer. Risk of frostbites.
• It is advisable to show the freezing
date on each individual pack to
enable you to keep tab of the storage
time.
6.6 Hints for storage of frozen
food
• Make sure that the commercially
frozen food products were adequately
stored by the retailer.
• Make sure that frozen foodstuffs are
transferred from the food store to the
freezer in the shortest possible time.
• Once defrosted, food deteriorates
rapidly and cannot be refrozen.
• Do not exceed the storage period
indicated by the food manufacturer.

7.4 Defrosting of the freezer
CAUTION!
Never use sharp metal tools
to scrape off frost from the
evaporator as you could
damage it. Do not use a
mechanical device or any
artificial means to speed up
the thawing process other
than those recommended by
the manufacturer. A
temperature rise of the
frozen food packs, during
defrosting, may shorten their
safe storage life.
About 12 hours prior to
defrosting, set a lower
temperature, in order to build
up sufficient chill reserve for
the interruption in operation.
A certain amount of frost will always form
on the freezer shelves and around the
top compartment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer
reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.
1. Switch off the appliance, or pull out
electrical plug from the wall socket.
