5. DAILY USE
CAUTION!
This refrigerating appliance
is not suitable for freezing
foodstuffs.
5.1 Positioning the door
shelves
To permit storage of food packages of
various sizes, the door shelves can be
placed at different heights.
1. Gradually pull the shelf up until it
comes free.
2. Reposition as required.
This model is equipped with a variable
storage box which can be moved
sideways.
5.2 Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped
with a series of runners so that the
shelves can be positioned as desired.
This appliance is also equipped with a
shelf consisting of two parts. The front
half of the shelf can be placed under the
second half to make better use of space.
To fold the shelf:
1. Take out the front half gently.
2. Slide it into the lower rail and under
the second half.

Do not move the glass shelf
above the vegetable drawer
to ensure correct air
circulation.
5.3 Vegetable drawer
The drawer is suitable for storing fruit
and vegetables.
To remove the drawer (e.g. for cleaning):
1. Pull out the drawer and lift it up.
2. Push the rails inside the cabinet to
avoid damage to the appliance when
closing the door.
www.electrolux.com12

To reassemble:
1. Pull out the rails.
2. Place the rear part of the drawer (1)
on the rails.

3. Keep the front of the drawer (2) lifted
up while pushing the drawer in.
4. Press the front part of the drawer
downwards.
Pull out the drawer again
and check if it is placed
correctly on both rear and
front hooks.
5.4 Humidity control
The glass shelf incorporates a device
with slits (adjustable by means of a
sliding lever), which makes it possible to
regulate the humidity in the vegetable
drawer(s).
Do not place any food
products on the humidity
control device.
The position of the humidity control
depends on the type and on the amount
of fruits and vegetables:
• Slots closed: recommended when
there is a small amount of fruits and
vegetables. In this way, the natural
moisture content in fruits and
vegetables is preserved longer.
• Slots opened: recommended when
there is a big amount of fruits and
vegetables. In this way, more air
circulation results in a lower air
moisture.
5.5 DYNAMICAIR
The refrigerator compartment is
equipped with a device that allows rapid
cooling of foods and keeps more uniform
temperature in the compartment.
This device activates automatically when
needed.
ENGLISH 13

It is also possible to switch on the device
manually when needed (refer to
"DYNAMICAIR function").
The fan operates only when
the door is closed.
5.6 CleanAir filter
Your appliance is equipped with the
CleanAir carbon filter in a drawer inside
the DYNAMICAIR device.
The filter purifies the air from unwanted
odours in the fridge compartment,
improving the storage quality.
On delivery the filter is in a plastic bag
(Refer to "Care and cleaning" chapter for
the installation).
CAUTION!
During the operation, always
keep the air ventilation
drawer closed.
6. HINTS AND TIPS
6.1 Hints for energy saving
• Most efficient use of energy is
ensured in the configuration with the
drawers in the bottom part of the
appliance and shelves evenly
distributed. Position of the door bins
does not affect energy consumption.
• Do not open the door frequently or
leave it open longer than necessary.
• Do not set too high temperature to
save energy unless it is required by
the characteristics of the food.
• If the ambient temperature is high and
the temperature control is set to low
temperature and the appliance is fully
loaded, the compressor may run
continuously, causing frost or ice
formation on the evaporator. In this
case, set the temperature control
toward higher temperature to allow
automatic defrosting and to save
energy this way.
• Ensure a good ventilation. Do not
cover the ventilation grilles or holes.
6.2 Hints for fresh food
refrigeration
• Good temperature setting that
ensures preservation of fresh food is
a temperature less than or equal to
+4°C.
Higher temperature setting inside the
appliance may lead to shorter shelf
life of food.
• Cover the food with packaging to
preserve its freshness and aroma.
• Always use closed containers for
liquids and for food, to avoid flavours
or odours in the compartment.
• To avoid the cross-contamination
between cooked and raw food, cover
the cooked food and separate it from
the raw one.
• It is recommended to defrost the food
inside the fridge.
• Do not insert hot food inside the
appliance. Make sure it has cooled
down at room temperature before
inserting it.
• To prevent food waste the new stock
of food should always be placed
behind the old one.
6.3 Hints for food refrigeration
• Fresh food compartment is the one
marked (on the rating plate) with .
• 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.
• Fruit and vegetables: clean thoroughly
(eliminate the soil) and place in a
special drawer (vegetable drawer).
www.electrolux.com14

• It is advisable not to keep the exotic
fruits like bananas, mangos, papayas
etc. in the refrigerator.
• Vegetables like tomatoes, potatoes,
onions, and garlic should not be kept
in the refrigerator.
• Butter and cheese: place in an airtight
container or wrap in an aluminium foil
or a polythene bag to exclude as
much air as possible.
• Bottles: close them with a cap and
place them on the door bottle shelf, or
(if available) on the bottle rack.
• In order to accelerate cooling down of
the goods, it is advisable to turn on
the fan. The activation of
DYNAMICAIR allows greater
homogenization of internal
temperatures.
• Always refer to the expiry date of the
products to know how long to keep
them.
7. CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
7.1 Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first
time, the interior and all internal
accessories should be washed with
lukewarm water and some neutral soap
to remove the typical smell of a brand-
new product, then dried thoroughly.
CAUTION!
Do not use detergents,
abrasive powders, chlorine
or oil-based cleaners as they
will damage the finish.
CAUTION!
The accessories and parts of
the appliance are not
suitable for washing in a
dishwasher.
7.2 Periodic cleaning
The equipment has to be cleaned
regularly:
1. Clean the inside and accessories
with lukewarm water and some
neutral soap.
2. Regularly check the door seals and
wipe them clean to ensure they are
clean and free from debris.
3. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
7.3 Defrosting of the
refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from the
evaporator of the refrigerator
compartment 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.
For this purpose use the tube cleaner
provided with the appliance.
7.4 Replacing the CleanAir filter
The CleanAir filter is an active carbon
filter which absorbs bad odours and
permits to maintain the best flavour and
aroma for all foodstuffs without risk of
odour cross contamination.
ENGLISH 15

The air filter should be
handled carefully to prevent
its surface from being
scratched.
On delivery, the carbon filter
is in a plastic bag to
preserve performance. Place
the filter in the slot before
activating the appliance.
1. Open the drawer.
2. Pull out the exhausted air filter.
3. Insert the new air filter in the slot.
4. Close the drawer.
To get the best performance the drawer
should be placed properly and the
CleanAir filter should be changed once
every year.
The air filter is a consumable
accessory and as such is not
covered by the guarantee.
New active air filters can be
purchased from your local
dealer. To change the air
filter repeat the procedure.
7.5 Period of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long
period, take the following precautions:
1. Disconnect the appliance from
