How to use the refrigerator
Sufficient air circulation is required
for the proper operation of this
appliance. For this reason you are asked
not to cover the air circulation gaps
behind the shelves (e.g. with tray etc.).
Do not put hot food into the
refrigerator. Allow it to reach
room temperature naturally. In this
way the unnnecessary frost building
up can be avoided.
Foods odours can be
transferable, so it is essential to
put foods in closed dishes or wrap
them in cellophane, aluminium foil,
grease-proof paper or cling film
before placing them into the
refrigerator. This way foods will keep
their moisture e.g. vegetables will not
dry out after some days.

Drawer
The drawer is suitable for storing fruit and
vegetables. There is a separator inside
the drawer that can be placed in different
positions to allow you to divide food if
necessary.
Air Filter
Your appliance is equipped with a carbon
filter behind a flap in the rear wall of the
air distributing box.
The filter purifies the air from unwanted
odours in the fridge compartment
meaning that the storage quality will be
further improved.
Note: Always keep the air ventilation flap
closed.
The Refrigerator
Below is the recommended storage
positions for various food types:
1. Ready-cooked foods, fresh meat, cold
cuts.
2. Milk, dairy products.
3. Fruits, vegetables, salads.
4. Cheese, butter.
5. Eggs.
6. Yoghurt, sour cream.
7. Small bottles, drinks.
8. Large bottles, drinks.
9. Fish, meat, seafood
Fresh Box
The Fresh Box is located in the fridge
compartment. This is designed for the
best conservation of fresh food like fish,
meat, seafood because the tempereture
is lower here than in the rest of the fridge.
It is placed in the lower part, directly
above of the vegetable drawer.
If you wish to remove the compartment,
make sure to perform the following:
1 Open the refrigerator door as wide as
possible. If due to a limit stop or any other

14 electrolux
object you cannot open the door at an
angle of 180°, you should remove the
bottle shelf from the door.
2 Pull the LTC compartment towards
yourself and, upon reaching the end
point, slightly lift the front of the drawer to
remove it from the support frame.
3 For the removal of the support frame,
lift the back of the frame from its nest and
then pull it towards yourself. You can
remove both the frame and the drawer at
the same time by following Step 3.

condition, repeat above steps in reverse
order.
Storage Times
The storage chart at the end of the
instruction book gives information on
storage times in the refrigerator
compartment. The storage times quoted
are intended as a guide only.
Do not cover the shelves with paper or
trays etc. as this will affect the air
circulation within the refrigerator
compartment.
Do not put hot foods in the
refrigerator, allow hot foods to reach
room temperature naturally before
placing in the refrigerator.
Cover foods, or place in closed dishes
before placing them in the refrigerator,
this prevents any transference of food
smells.

symbol which means that it is
suitable for freezing fresh food and
for long term storage of frozen and
deep-frozen food.
Temperature regulation
The temperature may be regulated
between -15°C and -24°C.
We suggest setting the internal
temperature of approximately -18°C,
which guarantees proper freezing and
conservation of the frozen foods.
Attention!
A difference between the temperature
displayed and temperature setting is
normal. Especially when:

the compartment.
Important
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 refrozen (after
cooling).

burns.
GB
Frozen Food Storage
When using for the first time or if the
freezer has been out of use for some
time, we advise you to run your appliance
for at least 2 hours before storing frozen
food.
Do not exceed the storage period
indicated by the manufacturer.
Do not open the door frequently or leave
it open longer than is necessary.
You can to replace frozen products into
the basket(s) after freezing has finished.
This will allow you to make room in the
freezing compartment for other food.
Intermediate freezing does not
deteriorate foods already stored.
If large quantities of food are to be
stored, remove the baskets except the
lowest one from appliance and place
food on the shelves.
Removal of freezing baskets from
the freezer
The freezing baskets have a limit stop to
prevent their accidental removal or falling
out. To remove from the freezer, pull the
basket towards yourself and, upon
reaching the end point, remove the
basket by tilting its front upwards.
To put it back, slightly lift the front of the
basket to insert it into the freezer. Once
you are over the end points, push the
baskets back in their position.
Thawing
Deep frozen or frozen food, prior to being
used, can be thawed in the fridge or at
room temperature, depending on the
time available. Small food items may even
be cooked from frozen, in this case
cooking will take longer.
Any frozen food which is thawed
accidentally should either be eaten as

Hints & T
Hints & Tips ips
Normal Operating Sounds
You may hear faint gurgling or
bubbling sounds when the refrigerant
is pumped through the coils or tubing.
When the compressor is on, the
refrigerant is being pumped round and
you will hear a whirring sound or
pulsating noise from the compressor.
A thermostat controls the compressor
and you will hear a faint 'click' when
the thermostat cuts in and out.
Food Storage
To obtain the best performance from your
freezer:
Do not store warm food or evaporating
liquid.
Avoid buying frozen food if you cannot
store it straight away. The use of an
insulated container is advisable. When
you arrive home, place the frozen food
in the freezer immediately.
Do not push food together too much,
try to allow air to circulate around each
item.
Do not store food uncovered.
Ensure that food placed in the freezer
is dated and labelled and used in date
order to ensure that food is consumed
at its best.
Lean food keeps better and longer
than fatty food, salt reduces the
storage time.
Wrap the food in polythene or
aluminium freezing bags or foil so that
they adhere to the food and provide an
airtight seal.
Packaging which is swollen or has
traces of refrozen water droplets on
the pack could indicate that the
product has not been kept at a
suitable temperature and that it may
have lost its original quality. Partially
thawed food must not be refrozen, it
must be consumed within 24 hours.
Never exceed the storage times
indicated by the manufacturer.
Energy Saving Advice
Do not install the appliance close to
sources of heat, such as a boiler or
radiator.
Locate the appliance in a cool well
ventilated room and make sure that

soon as possible, or thrown away.
Alternatively, if the food is uncooked and
has not been completely defrosted it can
be cooked and then refrozen.
Defrosted cooked food must
never be refrozen.
)To Make Ice Cubes
1. Fill the ice cube tray ¾full with cold
water, place in the freezing
compartment and leave to freeze.
2. To remove the cubes twist the tray or
hold it under running water for a few
seconds.
Never try to free an ice tray that is
frozen to the freezer compartment by
using pointed or sharp edged objects.

then be refrozen as cooked dishes.
Chicken: Should also be cooked and
refrozen as a fresh dish.
GB
the air openings of the appliance are
not obstructed.
Avoid unnecessary frosting in the
cabinet by packing all foodstuffs into
airtight packages before placing them
in the freezer.
Food which is to be frozen (when cool)
should be placed in the fridge before
being transferred to the freezer.
Try to avoid keeping the door open for
long periods or opening the door too
frequently as warm air will enter the
cabinet and cause the compressor to
switch on unnecessarily often.
Ensure there are no obstructions
preventing the door from closing
properly.
In the Event of a Power Failure
If there is a power failure during the
storage of frozen foods, keep the door
closed. If the temperature within your
freezer should rise, do not refreeze the
food without checking its condition. The
following guidelines should assist you:
Ice Cream: Once thawed should be
discarded.
Fruits & Vegetables: If soft should be
cooked and used up.
Breads & Cakes: Can be refrozen
without danger.
Shellfish: Should be refrigerated and
used up quickly.
Cooked Dishes: i.e. casseroles should
be refrigerated and used up.
Large Pieces of Meat: Can be refrozen
providing there are still ice crystals
remaining within them.
Small Joints: Should be cooked and can
Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any maintenance or
cleaning is carried out you must
DISCONNECT the appliance from the
electricity supply.
Internal Cleaning
