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.
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 re-frozen (after
cooling).
Carbon 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

completely the water tank but leave a head
space of air.
If you have not used all filtered water in the
water tank within 1-2 days, please discard
any water left inside the BRITA water filter unit
before refilling it.
Allow the water to filter through and repeat
"Step 4" as many times as you want until the

Important information
• The fridge door valve hole must be closed
with the Water Valve during the regular
functioning of the appliance.
• Use only drinking water. The use of any
other drink type can leave residues, taste
or odor in the reservoir and in the tap.
• It is possible to hear some noises caused
by air entering when the water left the reservoir.
• In case the water does not flow well, press
the driving lever once again. Keep the
glass below the tap for some instants, in
order to assure that all the water is collected by the glass.
• Do not use gasified drinks, such as soft
drinks. The drink can leak due to the gas
pressure.
• Remember that water is a foodstuff.
Please consume filtered water within one
to two days.
• Should your BRITA water filter unit not be
in use for a prolonged period (e.g. vacation), we recommend that you discard any
water left inside the system and leave the
cartridge inside the filter tank.
Before using the system again take out the
cartridge and repeat steps 1 to 4 of "How
to use the BRITA MAXTRA filter cartridge".
• The BRITA water filter unit is designed for
use only with municipally treated tap water
(note: this water is constantly controlled
and according to legal regulations safe to
drink) or with water from private supplies
which has been tested safe to drink.
If an instruction is received from the authorities that mains water must be boiled,
the BRITA filtered water has also to be
boiled. When the instruction to boil water
is no longer in force, the entire filter system
must be cleaned and a new cartridge inserted.
More information on the use of BRITA filter
cartridges and the Memo can be found in the
BRITA information guide.
You can purchase new BRITA filter cartridges and Memo through consumer
service network of Electrolux or BRITA.
Helpful hints and tips
Normal Operating Sounds
• You may hear a faint gurgling and a bubbling sound when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or tubing. This is correct.
• When the compressor is on, the refrigerant
is being pumped around and you will hear
a whirring sound and a pulsating noise
from the compressor. This is correct.
• The thermic dilatation might cause a sudden cracking noise. It is natural, not dangerous physical phenomenon. This is correct.
Hints for energy saving
• Do not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than absolutely necessary.
• If the ambient temperature is high and the
Temperature Regulator is set to low temperature and the appliance is fully loaded,
the compressor may run continuously,
causing frost or ice on the evaporator. If
this happens, set the Temperature Regulator toward warmer settings to allow automatic defrosting and so a saving in electricity consumption.
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
Hints for refrigeration
Useful hints:
Meat (all types) : wrap in polythene bags and
place on the glass shelf above the vegetable
drawer.
16 electrolux
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.
Milk bottles: these should have a cap and
should be stored in the bottle rack on the
door.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not
packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator.
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 hrs. is shown on the rating
plate;
• the freezing process takes 24 hours. No
further food to be frozen should be added
during this period;
• only freeze 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;
• it is advisable to show the freezing in date
on each individual pack to enable you to
keep tab of the storage time.
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.

Replacing the carbon air filter
To get the best performance the carbon air
filter should be changed once every year.
New active air filters can be purchased from
your local dealer.
Refer to "Installation of the carbon air filter"
for the instructions.
Defrosting
Your appliance is frost free. This means that
there is no buildup of frost when it is in operation, neither on the internal walls nor on
the foods.
The absence of frost is due to the continuous
circulation of cold air inside the compartment, driven by an automatically controlled
fan.
What to do if…

disconnect the power supply.
Only a qualified electrician or competent
person must do the troubleshooting that
