We neverthe- less feel that it is important to acquaint you with the following safety guidelines: Use for Intended Purpose * The refrigerator/freezer is intended for household use. lt is suited for the refrigeration, freezing and frozen storage of foods as well as the preparation of ice. If the appliance is used for purposes other than those intendet or used incorrectly, no liability can be accepted by the manufacturer for any damage that may be caused. « Alterations or changes to the refrigerator/freezer are not permitted for reasons of safety. * If you use the refrigerator/freezer in a commercial application or for purposes other than the refrigeration, freezing or frozen storage of foods, please observe all valid legal regulations for your application. Prior to initial start-up Check the refrigerator/freezer for transport damage. Do not under any circumstances connect a damaged appliance! Please contact your sup- plier in the event of damage. Refrigerant The refrigerant R600a is contained within the refrigerant circuit of the appliance. During transportation and installation of the appliance, be certain that none of the components of the refrigerant circuit become damaged. Safety for Children * Packaging materials (e.g. films, styrofoam) can be dangerous for child- ren. Danger of suffocation! Keep packaging materials away from child- ren! » Before disposing of old appliances make them inoperable. Remove plug from mains, sever the power cable, remove or destroy any snap or latch closures. This eliminates the danger that playing children lock themselves into the appliance (danger of suffocation!) or place them- selves into other life-endangering situations. « Children often do not recognise the dangers involved with household appliances. Please provide for the necessary supervision and do not allow children to play with the appliance! Safety Daily Operation Containers with flammable gases or fluids can develop leaks through contact with the cold. Danger of explosion! Do not store containers with flammable substances, such as aerosol cans, refill cartridges for cigarette lighters etc. in the refrigerator/freezer. * Bottles and cans may not be placed in the freezer compartment. They can burst when the contents freeze - or even explode if the contents contain carbonic acid! Never place sodas, juices, beer, wine, champa- gne etc. into the freezer compartment. Exception: Spirits with high alcohol content may be stored in the freezer compartment. * Do not place ice cream or ice cubes directly from the freezer com- partment into the mouth. Very cold ice can freeze to the lips or ton- gue and cause injury. * Never touch frozen goods with wet hands. Hands can freeze to the goods. * Do not operate any electrical appliances in the refrigerator/freezer (e.g. electric ice cream makers, mixers etc.). * Before cleaning the appliance switch off and remove the plug from the mains, or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse. * When unplugging always pull the plug from the mains socket, do not pull on the cable. In case of malfunction * |f a malfunction should occur at the appliance, refer first to the sec- tion "What to do if ..." in these operating instruction. If the instruc- tions in this section are not sufficient, do not undertake any further work on your own. * Refrigerators/feezers may only be repaired by trained personnel. Repairs carried out by untrained personnel can lead to substantial danger. Please contact your dealer or our customer service depart- ment for repairs. Disposal Appliance Packaging Information All materials are environmentally sound! They can be dumped or bur- ned at an incinerating plant without danger! About the materials: The plastics can be recycled and are identified as follows: >PE< for polyethylene, e.g. the outer covering and the bags in the interior. >PS< for polystyrene foam, e.g. the pads, which are all free of chloro- fluorocarbon. Disposal of old Appliances For environmental reasons, refrigeration appliances must be disposed of properly. This applies to your old appliance, and - at the end of its ser- vice life - for your new appliance as well. NN Warning! Before disposing of old appliances make them inoperable. Remove plug from mains, sever the power cable, remove or destroy any snap or latch closures. This eliminates the danger that playing children lock themselves into the appliance (danger of suffocation!) or place themselves into other life-endangering situations. Disposal: * The appliance may not be disposed of with domestic waste or bulky refuse. * The refrigerant circuit, especially the heat exchanger at the back of the appliance, may not be damaged. * Information concerning collection schedules or locations can be obtained from the local disposal authorities or town hall. Appliance Transport Two persons are required for transport of the appliance. LS” In order to push the appliance into its final position, press carefully at the top of the upper door and tip the appliance back slightly. The weight is then transferred to the back wheels and the appliance can be easily pushed. Remove transport safeguard The appliance as well as interior accessory parts are safeguarded for transport. LS” Remove all tape and pads from the interior of the appliance. i Tape remnants can be removed with white spirit. Installation Installation Location The appliance should be set up in a well ventilated, dry room. Energy use is affected by the ambient temperature. The appliance should therefore — not be exposed to direct sunlight; — not be installed next to radiators, cookers or other sources of heat; — only be installed at a location whose ambient temperature corre - sponds to the climate classification, for which the appliance is desi- gned. The climate classification can be found on the serial plate, which is located at the left on the inside of the appliance. The following table shows which ambient temperature is correct for each climate classification: If installation next to a source of heat is unavoidable, the following minimum clearances must be maintained at the sides of the appliance: — for electric cookers 3 cm; — for oil and coal fired ranges 30 cm. If these clearances cannot be maintained a heat insulating pad is requi- red between the cooker and the refrigeration appliance. Installation The refrigerator/freezer needs air Air is fed under the door through | Ch the vent slots in the base and is —— exhausted upwards along the DL back wall. To ensure proper air cir- Î culation never cover or alter the vent openings. Attention! If the appliance is installed under, for example, a hanging cabinet, a clearance of at least 5 cm between the top of the appliance and the cabinet above it must be maintained. 4 Appliance Alignment DS” The appliance must have a solid, level footing. Please compensate for unevenness in the floor by turning the two adjustable feet at the front in or out. Electrical Connection A properly installed socket outlet with earthing contact is required for electrical connection. Electrical fuse protection must be of at least 10 ampere. If the outlet socket is no longer accessible after installation of the appliance, appropriate measures must be taken during electrical instal- lation to assure that the appliance can be disconnected from the mains (e.g. fuse, circuit breaker, non-operate current safety-switch or the like, with a contact opening of at least 3 mm). LS” Before initial start-up, refer to the appliance serial plate to ascertain if supply voltage and current values correspond with those of the mains at the installation location. e.g. AC 220... 240 V 50 Hz or 220... 240 V-50 Hz (i.e. 220 to 240 volts alternating current, 50 Hertz) The serial plate is inside the appliance at the left. 10 Changing Over The Door Hinges The door hinges can be changed from right (as supplied) to left if requi- red to suit the location where the appliance is installed. NN Warning! The appliance must not be plugged into the mains when the door hinges are being changed over. Unplug from the mains first. LS” Open the freezer compartment door and remove the pedestal cover to the front. Move the door bearing cover on the pedestal cover from the left to the right. 13> With the freezer compartment door closed, remove the cross-head screws from the lower door bearing and remove the door bearing downwards. I” Remove freezer compartment door carefully to the front and set aside. LS” Unscrew the centre door bearing. 5" Remove the fridge compartment door carefully to the front and place on one side. 5° Reposition upper pivot pin to the left side. Changing Over The Door Hinges 015" Carefully push refrigerator door A onto upper pivot pin and close. 7 od DS” Slide the centre door bearing into 4 — | the bottom left of the fridge com- В partment door and fasten to the housing. IZ" Carefully slide the freezer com- partment door onto the centre bearing pivot and close. DS” Place the lower door bearing with the bearing pivot in the lower left of the freezer compartment door and fasten. LS” Move the door handles from the left to the right and cover the remaining holes with the hole cover pins attached. DS” Fit the plinth again. 12 Appliance Description View of Appliance (various models) Control panel and elements Butter and cheese compartment with lid Door storage compartments Bottle compartment Fruit and vegetable drawers Shelves Drawer for frozen goods (for storage and freezing) Drawers for frozen goods (only for storage) Freezer tray ооо с Serial plate Freezer tray A freezer tray is fitted above the top drawer in the freezer compart- ment, this tray contains the ice trays.

After transport on its side, the appliance must be left to stand for 4 hours before putting it into operation. This is necessary to allow the oil to flow back into the compressor. Otherwise the compressor may be damaged. Please clean the appliance interior and all accessories prior to initial start-up (see section: "Cleaning and Care"). 13 14 Starting up and temperature regulation Refrigerator and freezer compartments can be operated and controlled independently of one another. ES” Insert plug into mains socket. Refrigerator Start-Up The temperature regulator is also the ON/OFF-switch. A coin is needed to turn the temperature regulator. This makes it more difficult to change the temperature setting accidentally (child protec- tion). Position e means: Cooling off Position 1 means: Highest interior temperature (warmest setting) Position "4" means: Lowest interior temperature (coldest setting) Recommended settings: For normal use: position "1" to "2"; For lower temperatures: position "2" to "3". DS” Turn the temperature regulator to the desired setting with the aid of a coin. The green mains power light illuminates. The compressor starts and then runs automatically. i Goods to be refrigerated can be loaded immediately after switching on, because the storage temperature in the refrigerator is quickly reached. Freezer Compartment Start-Up The temperature regulator is also the ON/OFF-switch. A coin in needed to turn the temperature regulator. This makes it is more difficult to change the temperature setting accidentally (child protection). Position e means: Cooling off Position "1" means: Highest interior temperature (warmest setting) Position "4" means: Lowest interior temperature (coldest setting) Recommended settings: For normal use: position "1" to "2"; For lower temperatures: position "2" to "3". Turn the temperature regulator to the desired setting with the aid of a coin. The green pilot light illuminates. The compressor starts and then runs automatically. The red warning light illuminates indicating that the required storage temperature has not yet been reached. The warning light switches off automatically when the temperature in the freezer compartment drops again and returns to the setting of the temperature regulator. Press the fast freeze button. The yellow fast freeze light illuminates. The red warning light remains illuminated until the required temperature has been reached. After the storage temperature has been reached, press the fast freeze button again to switch off the fast freeze function. The yellow light goes out. Important! Wait until the freezer compartment has reached a tempera- ture of -18 Ÿ, or the red warning light has gone out, before storing frozen food. The red warning light signal an alarm — if the appliance door is left open too long; — if the temperature in the freezer compartment is too warm; — if there is a malfunction in the cooling system. Note: From a food science point of view, +5 © for the refrigerator compartment and -18 T for the freezer compartment should be consi- dered cold enough as a storage temperature. The following effects are of significance in respect of the interior tem- perature: — Ambient temperature; — Quantity and temperature of the food stored; — Frequency with which the door is opened and how long it is left open. 15 16 Switching the Appliance Off i > Refrigerator and freezer compartments can be switched off indepen- dently of one another. To switch off, turn both temperature regulators to position "e". The green pilot light goes off. If the appliance is to be removed from service for a lengthy period: Turn both temperature regulators to position “e . The green pilot light goes off. Unplug the appliance, or pull or unscrew the fuse. Defrost freezer compartment and clean thoroughly (see section: "Cle- aning and Care”). Leave door open after defrosting to avoid accumulation of odours. Opening the Freezer Compartment Door If the freezer compartment door is closed when the appliance is in ope- ration, it is possible that it cannot be immediately opened again, because a vacuum occurs in the freezer compartment which holds the door closed until pressure has been equalised. The door can be opened again after several minutes. Interior Accessories Storage Shelves/Storage Racks > The glass storage shelf must be inserted into the lower guide track above the fruit and vegetable trays. It must always remain in this posi- tion, so that fruits and vegetable remain fresh longer. The remaining storage racks can be adjusted to various heights: = Pull the storage rack forward until it N can be tipped up or down and remo- NN To insert at a different height use the same procedure in reverse. Variable Inner Door The door compartments can be pulled up and removed, and inserted at other positions as needed. Proper Storage Different temperature zones exist within the refrigerator due to the laws of physics. The coldest zone Is at the bottom storage shelf above the fruit and vegetable trays. The warmer zones are found at the uppermost storage shelves and in the door compartments. The arrangement example shows at which places in the refrigerator suitable temperatures for various types of foods exist. Goods should only be frozen in the bottom drawer of the freezer compartment, but rather only stored in the two upper drawers. Tip: Foods should always be pak- kaged or covered in the refrigera- tor, in order to avoid odour or flavour contamination to other refrigerated goods. Dinamic Refrigeration: The Dynamic Refrigeration System give, in the fridge compartment, extra efficiency showed in: o Quicker refrigeration. e More homogeneous temperature. DAC (Dynamic Air Cooling system) has been mainly designed for hot weather (ambient temperature above 25°), and also when the refrige- rator is plenty of food. To start working, push the switch. When DAC is switched on, the cold production is higter, thus you should turn the temperature regulator to an adequate position to avoid excesive cold. Freezing The bottom drawer serves for freezing, the two upper drawers are sui- ted for storage purposes. Attention! e Before foods are frozen, the actual temperature in the freezer com- partment must be -18°C or colder. e Please observe indicated freezing capacity on the serial plate. The freezing capacity represents the maximum amount of fresh goods that can be frozen within 24 hours. If you freeze goods on several days, one after the other, freeze amounts equal to 2/3 to 3/4 of the capacity indicated on the serial plate. e Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into meals) may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time. For exploitation of maximum freezing capacity press the FAST FREEZE button 24 hours prior to freezing, or 4 to 6 hours for smaller quantities. Yellow display lights up. The FAST FREEZE button need not be pressed for freezing of small quantities of up to 3 kg. All foods must be packed air tight prior to freezing, so that they do not dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination of other frozen goods occurs. Caution! Do not touch frozen goods with wet hands. Hands can freeze to the goods. Place packaged foods in the compartments or drawers. Unfrozen goods may not come into contact with already frozen goods, otherwise the frozen goods may start to thaw. Tips: e [he following are suited for the packaging of frozen goods: — freezer bags and polyethylene wraps; — special cans for frozen goods; — extra-thick aluminium foil ® The following are suited for sealing bags and wraps: plastic clips, rubber bands or adhesive tape. e Press air out of bags and wraps before sealing, because air encoura- ges drying of frozen goods. e Make flat packages, because these freeze more quickly. * Do not fill cans for frozen goods to the brim with liquid or paste-like goods, because liquids expand during freezing. Note for inspection authorities: Batch plans for the determination of freezing performance or warm-up time can be requested directly from the manufacturer. Frozen Storage Attention! Before initial loading of the freezer compartment with pre- viously frozen goods, the required storage temperature of -18 € must be reached. * Load freezer only with packaged frozen goods, so that they do not dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination of other frozen goods can occur. * Please observe maximum storage times and expiry dates of frozen goods. ve In so far as possible store frozen goods separately according to type in drawers. Some models are provided with index-tabs which can be atta- ched to the drawers. In order to identify the contents of individual compartments, attach the index-tabs so that they cover the storage goods symbols (see section: "Storage Goods Symbols/Freezing Calen- dar”). Thus you have a better overview, avoid opening the door for long periods and therefore save energy. Preparation of Ice Cubes DS” Fill ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water and place in the freezer tray or a drawer and allow to freeze. LS” lo remove the finished ice cubes twist the ice cube tray or hold under running water for a short time. Attention! Do not, under any circumstances, free an ice tray which is frozen to the appliance with pointed or sharp edged objects. Use a spoon-handle or similar object. Storage Goods Symbols/Freezing Calendar (not included with all models) * The symbols on the drawers show different types of frozen & Xt Y y 6-12 A goods. The numbers indicate storage times in months for the appropriate types of frozen goods. Whether the upper or lower value of the indi- cated storage time is valid depends on the quality of the foods and pre-treating before freezing. The lower value applies to foods with high fat content. * By attaching the included index-tabs to the drawers, they can be marked according to which type of foods the indivi- dual compartments contain. Defrosting The refrigerator is defrosted automatically The integrated evaporator on the rear wall of the refrigerator compart- ment is defrosted fully automatically. The water collects in the discharge trough at the back wall of the refri- gerator, and is fed through the discharge opening in the catch tray at the compressor where it is evaporated. Freezer Compartment Defrosting Moisture is precipitated in the form of white frost in the freezer com- partment during operation and when the door is opened, especially in the middle at the top. Remove this white frost from time to time with a soft plastic scraper, e.g. a dough scraper. Do not under any circum- stances use hard or pointed objects for this purpose. The appliance should be defrosted when the thickness of the white frost has reached about 4 mm; but at least once a year in any case. A convenient time for defrosting is any time when the appliance is empty, or only minimally loaded. 20 NN Warning! * Do not use electrical heating appliances or any other mechanical or artificial devices to speed up the defrosting process, with the excep- tion of those recommended in these operating instructions. * Do not use defrosting sprays, because they may be health endange- ring and/or contain substances damaging to plastics. LS” About 12 hours prior to defrosting push the FAST FREEZE button, in order to build up sufficient chill reserve for the interruption in opera- tion. Caution! Do not touch frozen goods with wet hands. Hands can freeze to the goods. LS” Remove frozen goods, pack them in several layers of newspaper, cover them and store them in a cool place, e.g. in a refrigerator. IZ” Switch off refrigerator and freezer and remove plug from the mains, or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or the fuse. 5° Remove all the drawers. Place a bowl directly in front of the appli- ance to collect the water from defrosting and pull out the water drain conduit. ё Tip: In order to speed up the defrosting process, place a pot of hot water in the freezer compart- ment. In addition, remove pieces of ice that break away before defrosting is complete. DS” After defrosting thoroughly clean the freezer interior, as well as interior accessories (see section: "Cleaning and Care"). Cleaning and Care For hygienic reasons the appliance interior, including interior accesso- ries, should be cleaned regularly. Warning! * The appliance may not be connected to the mains during cleaning. Danger of electrical shock! Before cleaning switch the appliance off 21 22 and remove the plug from the mains, or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse. * Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner. Moisture could accu- mulate in electrical components, danger of electrical shock! Hot vapours can lead to the damage of plastic parts. * The appliance must be dry before it is placed back into service. Attention! » Ethereal oils and organic solvents can attack plastic parts, e. g. — lemon juice or the juice from orange peals; — butyric acid; — cleansers which contain acetic acid. Do not allow such substances to come into contact with appliance parts. * Do not use any abrasive cleansers. Defrost freezer compartment before cleaning (see section: "Defrosting”). Switch off refrigerator and freezer and remove plug from the mains, or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or the fuse. Clean the appliance and the interior accessories with a cloth and luke- warm water. Commercially available dish washing detergents may also be used. After cleaning wipe with fresh water and rub dry. Check the water discharge opening at the back wall of the refrigerator. A clogged water discharge opening can be freed with the help of a wire. Accumulation of dust at the condenser reduces cooling performance and increases energy consumption. For this reason carefully clean the condenser at the back of the appliance once a year with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner. After everything is dry place appliance back into service. *% Energy Saving Tips * Do not install the appliance near cookers, radiators or other sources of warmth. High ambient temperatures cause longer, more frequent operation of the compressor. * Ensure sufficient air circulation and exhaust at the appliance base and at the back wall of the appliance. Never cover air vent openings. * Do not place warm foods into the appliance. Allow warm foods to cool first. * Only leave door open as long as necessary. * Do not set temperature any colder than necessary. * Place frozen goods into the refrigerator for thawing. Cold from fro- zen goods is thus used for cooling in the refrigerator. * Always keep the condenser at the back of the appliance clean. What to do if ... Correcting Malfunctions Perhaps a malfunction has been caused by a minor error, which you can correct yourself with the help of the following instructions. Do not attempt any further repairs if the following instructions do not help in each specific case. NN Warning! Refrigerators/freezers may only be repaired by trained personnel. Repairs carried out by untrained personnel can lead to substantial danger for the user. Please contact your dealer or our customer service department for repairs. 23 24 Replace light bulb i LE, For safety reasons the interior lighting switches off after 20 minutes when the door is open. It switches on again the next time the door is opened. Warning! Danger of electrical shock! Before replacing the light bulb switch off the appliance and remove the mains plug. Light bulb specifications: 220-240 V, max. 25 W, fitting: E 14 To switch the appliance off press both ON/OFF buttons until the mains power light extinguishes. Unplug the mains plug. To change the light bulb, undo the cross head screw and remove the light bulb cover downwards. Change the defective light bulb. Refit the light bulb cover and the cross head screw. Customer Service If you cannot find the remedy for a malfunction in these operating Instructions, please contact your dealer or our customer service depart- ment. Addresses and telephone numbers are listed in the accompanying booklet "Guarantee Conditions/Customer Service Locations". Selective ordering of replacement parts can save unnecessary travel and costs. For this reason always provide the following appliance infor- mation: Model Name * Model Number (PNC) * Serial Number (S-No.) This information can be found on the serial plate in the interior at the left of the appliance. We recommend that you enter this information here, so that it is handy if needed. Note: The customer bears the costs of unjustified customer service calls even during the guarantee period. 25 26 Noises during Operation The following noises are characteristic of refrigeration appliances: * Clicks Whenever the compressor switches on or off, a click can be heard. * Humming As soon as the compressor is in operation, you can hear it humming. * Bubbling/Splashing When refrigerant flows into thin tubes, you can hear bubbling or splashing noises. Even after the compressor has been switched off, this noise can be heard for a short time. Regulations, Standards, Guidelines CE This appliance was designed for household use and was manufactured in accordance with the appropriate standards. The necessary measures in accordance with appliance safety legislation regulations (GSG), acci- dent prevention regulations for refrigeration appliances (VBG 20) and the regulations of the German Society of Electrical Engineers (VDE) were observed in the manufacture of this appliance. The refrigerant circuit has been checked for leaks. This appliance is in accordance with the following EU guidelines: — 73/23/EWG dated 19 February 1973 - low voltage guidelines. — 89/336/EWG dated 3 May 1989 (including guideline change notice 92/31/EWG) - EMV guideline Technical Terminology Refrigerant Fluids, which are used for refrigeration are called refrigerants. They have a relatively low boiling point; so low, that the warmth of foods in the refrigeration appliance can cause them to boil or vaporise. Refrigerant circuit Sealed circulation system, in which the refrigerant is found. The refri- gerant circuit consists for the most part of an evaporator, a compres- sor, a condenser and tubing. Evaporator The refrigerant is evaporated in the evaporator. This warmth is with- drawn from the appliance interior, which is thus cooled. Like all fluids, refrigerants require warmth in order to be evaporated. For this reason the evaporator is located in the appliance interior or installed with foam directly behind the interior wall, and is thus invisible. Compressor The compressor looks like a small bin. It is powered by an electric motor and is housed at the back in the base of the appliance. lt is the task of the compressor to withdraw vaporous refrigerant from the evaporator, to compress it and feed it to the condenser. Condenser The condenser is usually in the form of a grid. Compressed refrigerant from the compressor is liquefied in the condenser. Thus warmth is released, which is given off into the surrounding air at the surface of the condenser. The condenser is therefore outside of the appliance, usually at the back. 27 The Electrolux Group is the world's largest producer of powered appliances for kitchen, cleaning and outdoor use. More than 55 million Electrolux Group products (such as refrigerators, cookers, vacuum cleaners, chain saws and lawn mowers) are sold each year to a value of approx. 14 billion USD in more than 150 countries around the world. { From the Electrolux Group.
