Daily use
Use of the fridge compartment
The temperature of this compartment may
be regulated between +2°C and +8°C.
During normal functioning the indicator
shows the temperature inside the fridge.
A medium setting is generally the most
suitable.
The exact setting should be chosen keeping
in mind that the temperature inside the appliance depends on:
• room temperature
• how often the door is opened
• the quantity of food stored
• the location of the appliance.
Important! 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.
Holiday Function H
The Holiday function sets the temperature at
approx +15°C. This function allows you to
keep the refrigerator shut and empty during
a long holiday period ( e. g. the summer holidays) without the formation of a bad smell.

Now the refrigerator is in the Holiday function
in the energy- saving mode and the indicator
shows the letter H. It is possible to de-activate the function at any time by changing the
selected temperature in the compartment.
Warning! The fridge compartment must
be empty with Holiday function on.
Taste Guard Filter
Your appliance is equipped with a carbon filter behind the air lever flap.
The filter purifies the air from unwanted
odours in the fridge compartment preserving
food quality.
On delivery the filter is in a plastic bag. Refer
to "Installation of the Taste Guard filter" for
instructions.
Important! Make sure that the air lever flap
is closed to obtain proper function.
Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped
with a series of runners 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.
Important! Do not move the glass shelf
above the vegetable drawer to ensure
correct air circulation.
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 positions to allow for the subdivision best suited
to personal needs.
All parts inside the drawer can be removed
for cleaning purposes.
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.
Important! Do not move the lower door shelf
to ensure correct air circulation.
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 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.
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 temperature inside the fridge
• A suitable temperature inside the fridge is
approx. +5° C. When the temperature regulator is set to +5° C this represents the
mean temperature in the fridge. It is normal
with higher temperature in the top of the
fridge. 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. If too
cold, change to a higher temperature setting.
Important! Do not place food against or
close to the temperature sensor. 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
10 electrolux
temperature can be monitored. The measuring shall be performed under steady-stated conditions (without changing the load).
