appliance depends on:
• room temperature
• how often the door is opened
• the quantity of food stored
• the location of the appliance.
If the ambient temperature is high
or the appliance is fully loaded,
and the appliance is set to the
lowest temperatures, it may run
continuously causing frost to form
on the rear wall. In this case the
Temperature regulator must be
set to a higher temperature to allow automatic defrosting and
therefore reduced energy consumption.
3. DAILY USE
3.1 Vegetable Drawer
The drawer is suitable for storing fruit and
vegetables.
Some models have a separator inside the
drawer that can be placed in different po-
sitions to allow for the subdivision best
suited to personal needs.
All parts inside the drawer can be removed for cleaning purposes.
6
www.electrolux.com
3.2 Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped
with a series of shelves support so that
the shelves can be positioned as desired.
Some shelves must be lifted up by the
rear edge to enable them to be removed.
Do not move the glass shelf
above the vegetable drawer to ensure correct air circulation.
3.3 Bottle rack
Place the bottles (with the opening facing
front) in the pre-positioned shelf.
If the shelf is positioned horizontally, place only closed bottles.
This bottle holder shelf can be tilted in order to store previously opened bottles. To
obtain this result, pull the shelf up so it
can rotate upwards and be placed on the
next higher level.
3.4 Air circulation
A
The refrigerator compartment is equipped
with a D.A.C. (Dynamic Air Cooling) fan
which enables rapid cooling of foods and
a more uniform storage temperature.
It is suggested to activate D.A.C when the
ambient temperature exceeds 25°C.
Set the switch (A) to the On position and
the fan runs when the compressor is running.
ENGLISH

3.6 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.
Do not use detergents or abrasive
powders, as these will damage
the finish.
Check that the drain hose at the rear of
the cabinet discharges into the drip tray
4. HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
4.1 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.
8
www.electrolux.com
4.2 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
4.3 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.
Fruits and vegetables: these should be
thoroughly cleaned and placed in the special drawer(s) provided. When in contact,
lemon juice can discolor the plastic parts
of your fridge. It is therefore recommended to keep citruses in separate containers.
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.
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.
4.4 Hints for temperature inside
the fridge
• A suitable temperature inside the fridge
is approx. +5° C. It is normal with higher temperature in the top of the fridge
and lower temperature in the lower
part. If the temperature regulator is set
to a cold temperature, the ambient
temperature is high or if the fridge is
fully loaded the compressor will run for
a longer time. This results in colder
temperature in the lower part of the
fridge due to the cold air that falls
down. It may result in that food with
high water content start to freeze. If too
cold, change to a higher temperature
setting.
Do not place any shelves towards
the water drain hole. This can result in too cold temperatures.
• If you want to check the temperature of
food stored in the refrigerator, place a
glass of water centrally in the cabinet,
and put a proper thermometer with an
accuracy of +/– 1 °C into it. After 6
hours the temperature can be monitored. The measuring shall be performed under steady-stated conditions
(without changing the load).
5. 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 out by authorized technicians.
5.1 Periodic cleaning
The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
• clean the inside and accessories with
lukewarm water and some neutral
soap.
• regularly check the door seals and wipe
clean to ensure they are clean and free
from debris.
• rinse and dry thoroughly.
ENGLISH
Do not pull, move or damage any
pipes and/or cables inside the
cabinet.
Never use detergents, abrasive
powders, highly perfumed cleaning products or wax polishes to
clean the interior as this will damage the surface and leave a
strong odor.
Clean the condenser (black grill) and the
compressor at the back of the appliance
with a brush. This operation will improve
the performance of the appliance and
save energy consumption.
Take care of not to damage the
cooling system.
When moving the cabinet, lift it by
the front edge to avoid scratching
the floor.
Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners
contain chemicals that can attack/damage the plastics used in this appliance.
For this reason use a soft cloth rinsed in
warm water and neutral soap emulsion for
cleaning external surfaces.
9
Do not use detergents or abrasive
paste as these will damage the
paint, or stainless steel anti finger
print coating.
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment
to the mains supply.
5.2 Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long
periods, take the following precautions:
1. disconnect the appliance from electricity supply
2. remove all food
3. defrost and clean the appliance and
all accessories
4. leave the door/doors open to prevent
unpleasant smells.
If the cabinet will be kept on, ask
somebody to check it once in a
while to prevent the food inside
from spoiling in case of a power
failure.
5.3 Cleaning the ventilation grille
The ventilation grille can be removed for
washing.
Make sure the door is open and then:
• Loosen the upper edge of the grille by
pulling outward/downward.
• Pull the grille straight out to completely
remove it.
• Vacuum clean under the cabinet.
5.4 Defrosting 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 drain hole 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.
