Putting it into use Put the plug into the mains socket. Turn the thermostatic control knob to „SUPER” position according to the figure and operate the appliance at least for 4 hours. Then reset the thermostatic control knob to „NORMAL” position. This time the appliance is suitable for storing frozen and deep-frozen foods. of the thermostatic control and the ambient temperature, but frequency of door openings and the quantity of food put into it, etc. In maximum position of the thermostat - in case of increased demand e.g. during heatwaves - the compressor may operate continually. This does not cause damages to the appliance. Controlling the temperature Freezing The thermostatic controller interrupts the operation of the appliance automatically for more or less time depending on the setting then restarts it assuring the required temperature. Freezing different products should always be done in the freezing compartment after proper preparing. Setting the thermostat knob can be done by rotation. Turning the control knob clockwise cooling becomes more and more intensive. In the appliance -18 °C or lower temperature can be reached if the thermostat knob is set to „NORMAL” position according to the figure. The thermostat can be switched off („STOP” position), which means breaking the circuit of the compressor i.e. stopping cooling. The temperature coming about in the freezer is effected by not only the position Set the thermostatic control knob to „SUPER” position 4 hours before freezing food in small quantity and about 24 hours before in case of products in bigger quantity. This time the compressor operates continually reach temperature necessary for freezing. Place the foods to be frozen in and operate the appliance as written for about 24 hours. After these reset the thermostatic control knob to „NORMAL” position.

Storing It is practical to replace frozen products into the storing compartment after freezing has finished so that to make room in the freezing compartment for another freezing. Intermediate freezing does not deteriorate foods already stored. How to make ice cubes To make ice cubes fill the enclosed ice cube tray with water and put it to the frozen food compartment. Wetting the bottom of the tray can shorten preparing time. Ready ice cubes can be taken out of the tray under running water then twist or hit it.

Maintenance Defrosting Bleeding part of the moisture of cooling chamber in form of frost and ice goes with the operation of the appliance. Thick frost and ice has an insulating effect, so it reduces cooling efficiency as the temperature increases and needs more energy. After removing the freezing shelf it is possible to scrape off and remove smaller frost and ice with the enclosed ice scraper. The tray in figure is not a piece of accessories to the appliance! When ice coating is so thick that it can not be removed with the frost scraper defrosting is necessary. Its frequency depends on usage. How to defrost it: 4-5 hours before starting defrosting turn the thermostatic control knob to "SUPER" position so that the stored foods can refrigerate well. Sweep off melting water, which gathers in the outlet channel practically formed in the bottom of the appliance, occasionally with a cloth or sponge in direction of sides. It can be removed if you put an adequately high tray in front of the appliance, which defrost water will flow into. Defrosting process can be made quicker by placing a pot or dish filled with warm water to the freezing shelf. After defrosting wipe the wet surfaces. Apply voltage to the appliance. Put the foods back. Regular cleaning Break the circuit of the appliance. Take the frozen foods out of the appliance and put them into a basket lined with paper or cloth. Store them in a possibly cool place or replace them into a frozen or fresh food compartment of a refrigerator. Leave the door open. It is practical to clean the inside of the freezer and defrost it at a time. Household cleaner or soap must not be used. After breaking the circuit wash the appliance using lukewarm water and wipe it. Clean the door gasket with clean water. After cleaning apply voltage to the appliance. It is recommended to remove the dust and dirt collected on the back of the appliance and the condenser once or twice a year.

Trouble shooting During operation of the appliance some smaller but annoying trouble can often occur, which does not require calling a technician out. In the following chart information is given about them to avoid unnecessary charges on service. Problem The appliance does not cool sufficiently The appliance cools too hard The appliance does not cool at all The appliance is noisy electrolux 57 We draw your attention that operation of appliance goes with certain sounds (compressor- and circulating sound). This is not trouble, but means normal operation. We draw it to your attention again that the appliance operates discontinuously, so the stopping of compressor does not mean being nocurrent. That is why you must not touch the electrical parts of the appliance before breaking the circuit. Possible cause Thermostatic control is set too low. Before freezing the appliance was not pre-cooled sufficiently. Large-sized food was put in. Too many foods to be frozen were put in. Warm foods were put in. Door is not shut properly. The thermostatic control is set too high. Plug is not connected to the mains socket properly. There is no voltage in the mains socket. Thermostatic control is in „STOP” position. The appliance is not supported properly. Solution Set higher position. Pre-cool the appliance for enough time. Cut up food. Put fewer foods to be cooled. Put foods max. at room temperature. Check if the door is shut. Set lower position. Check if the connection is proper. Check if there is voltage. Check setting of thermostatic control. Check if the appliance stands stable. Inasmuch as the advice does not lead to result, call the nearest brand-mark service. 58 electrolux
