FIRST USE
Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first time,
wash the interior and all internal accessories with lukewarm water and some neutral
soap so as to remove the typical smell of a
brand-new product, then dry thoroughly.
Important! Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these will damage the finish.
DAILY USE
Freezing fresh food
The freezer compartment is suitable for
freezing fresh food and storing frozen and
deep-frozen food for a long time.
To freeze fresh food activate the Action
Freeze function at least 24 hours before placing the food to be frozen in the freezer compartment.
Place the fresh food to be frozen in the in
the upper part of the freezer, as this is the
coldest point.
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.
Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out
of use, before putting the products in the
compartment let the appliance run at least
12 hours on the Action Freeze setting.
If large quantities of food are to be stored,
remove all drawers and baskets from appliance and place food on cooling shelves to
obtain the best performance.
Warning! Make sure that foods do not
exceed the load limit stated on the side
of the upper section (where applicable)
Important! In the event of accidental
defrosting, for example due to a power
failure, if the power has been off for longer
that 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).
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.
Cold accumulators
The freezer contains at least one cold accumulator which increases storage time in the
event of a power cut or breakdown.
Ice-cube production
This appliance is equipped with one or
more trays for the production of ice-cubes.
Fill these trays with water, then put them in
the freezer compartment.
Important! Do not use metallic instruments
to remove the trays from the freezer.
Temperature indicator
To assist you in controlling your appliance
correctly we have fitted a temperature indicator to your refrigerator, placed in the coldest area.
The coldest area of the refrigerator compartment is at the level of the lower
glass shelf.
The symbol opposite shows the location of
the coldest area of your refrigerator.
The space directly above the glass shelf of
the fruit and vegetable drawer is the coldest
region of the refrigerator compartment as
shown by the shelf or the sticker on the wall
of your appliance.
For proper storage of the food in your refrigerator and particularly in the coldest area,
ensure that the temperature indicator is displaying “OK”.
8 electrolux
If “OK” is not displayed, the average temperature in the area is too high. Adjust the temperature controller to a colder setting. Since
the “OK” display is in black, it is difficult to
see if the temperature indicator is poorly illuminated. Correct illumination makes it easy
to read.
Each time the temperature controller is adjusted, wait for the temperature inside the
appliance to stabilise before checking
whether another adjustment is required. Only adjust the controller gradually and wait at
least 12 hours before checking and perhaps adjusting it again.
Important! After putting fresh food into the
appliance or after opening the door
repeatedly or for a long period, it is normal
for the indicator not to show “OK”; wait at
least 12 hours before readjusting the
temperature controller.
Correct temperature
OK
Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped
with a series of runners so that the shelves
can be positioned as desired.
For better use of space, the front halfshelves can lie over the rear ones.
If the evaporator of the refrigeration compartment (wall at the bottom of the appliance)
has an abnormal covering of ice (appliance
too full, high ambient temperature, thermostat too high, frequent door opening), gradually move the thermostat control to a lower
setting until there are once more periods
when the compressor stops. The automatic
defrosting of the refrigerator compartment
will not work correctly unless the compressor stops from time to time.
Thermostat requires adjustment
Positioning the door shelves
To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the door shelves can be placed
at different heights.
To make these adjustments proceed as follows:
gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the
arrows until it comes free, then reposition
as required.

Air cooling
The Dynamic Air Cooling (DAC) fan let food
cool quickly and a more uniform temperature in the compartment.
1. You can switch on the fan by pressing
the switch (1). The green light (2) comes
on.
2. Adjust the Temperature regulator to the
FAN position.
Humidity control
The glass shelf incorporates a device with
slits (adjustable by means of a sliding lever),
which makes it possible to regulate the temperature in the vegetable drawer(s).
When the ventilation slots are closed:
the natural moisture content of the food in
the fruit and vegetable compartments is preserved for longer.
When the ventilation slots are opened:
more air circulation results in a lower air moisture content in the fruit and vegetable compartments.

This device allows for rapid cooling of foods
and a more uniform temperature in the compartment.
Important! Switch on the fan when the
ambient temperature exceeds 25°C.
HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
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 au-
10 electrolux
tomatic 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.
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.
CARE AND CLEANING
Caution! Unplug the appliance before
carrying out any maintenance operation.
This appliance contains hydrocarbons
in its cooling unit; maintenance and recharging must therefore only be carried

the plastics used in this appliance. For this
reason it is recommended that the outer casing of this appliance is only cleaned with
warm water with a little washing-up liquid
added.
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to
the mains supply.
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. Use the special cleaner provided, which you will find already inserted into the drain hole.
Defrosting the freezer
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.
Important! About 12 hours prior to
defrosting, set the Temperature regulator
toward higher settings , in order to build up
sufficient chill reserve for the interruption in
operation.
To remove the frost, follow the instructions
below:
1. Switch off the appliance.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and put it in a
cool place.
Caution! Do not touch frozen goods
with wet hands. Hands can freeze to
the goods.
3. Leave the door open and insert the plastic scraper in the appropriate seating at
the bottom centre, placing a basin underneath to collect the defrost water
In order to speed up the defrosting process, place a pot of warm water in the
freezer compartment. In addition, remove pieces of ice that break away before defrosting is complete.
12 electrolux
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.
4. When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thoroughly and keep the scraper
for future use.
5. Switch on the appliance.
6. After two or three hours, reload the previously removed food into the compartment.
