www.electrolux.com This section explains the installation of the new appliance before using it for the first time. We recommend reading the following tips. WARNING! F o r p ro p e r i n s t a l l a t i o n , t h i s refrigerator must be placed on a level surface of hard material that is the same height as the rest of the flooring. This surface should be strong enough to support a fully loaded refrigerator, or approximately 266 lbs. (120 kg). When moving, be sure to pull out and push back the unit in straight. 10-15mm Front roller Rear roller Adjustable foot WARNING! The rollers, which are not castors, should be only used for forward or backward movement. Moving the refrigerator sideways may damage your floor and the rollers. Adjusting the door handle This appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperature ranging from 10°C to 43°C. Leveling of appliance For proper leveling and avoid vibration, this appliance is provided with adjustable feet in front. Please adjust the level by following below instructions:

1. Roll the refrigerator into place.

2. Turn the adjustable feet (with your

fingers or a suitable spanner) until they touch the floor.

3. Tilt back the top backwards for about

10‑15 mm by turning the feet 1~2 turn further. This will allow the doors to selfclose and seal properly.

4. W henever you want to move the

appliance, remember to turn the feet back up so that the appliance can roll freely. Reinstall the appliance when relocating. Before you use the appliance, please check the refrigerator handles. If the handles are loose, please adjust them by using an Allen wrench in the clockwise direction until handles are securely in place. Each one of the handles is fitted with 2 screws.

HINTS AND TIPS

Hints for energy saving

• Freezer: The internal configuration of the appliance is the one that ensures the most efficient use of energy.
• F ridge: Most efficient use of energy is ensured in the configuration with the drawers in the bottom part of the appliance and shelves evenly distributed. Position of the door bins does not affect energy consumption.
• D o not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than necessary.
• Freezer: The colder the temperature setting, the higher the energy consumption.
• F r i d g e : D o n o t s e t t o o h i g h temperature to save energy unless it is required by the characteristics of the food.
• If the ambient temperature is high and the temperature control is set to low temperature and the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may run continuously, causing frost or ice formation on the evaporator. In this case, set the temperature control toward higher temperature to allow automatic defrosting and to save energy this way.
• E nsure a good ventilation. Do not cover the ventilation grilles or holes. Hints for freezing
• Activate FastFreeze function at least 24 hours before placing the food inside the freezer compartment.
• B efore freezing wrap and seal fresh food in: aluminium foil, plastic film or bags, airtight containers with lid.
• For more efficient freezing and thawing divide food into small portions.
• It is recommended to put labels and dates on all your frozen food. This will help to identify foods and to know when they should be used before their deterioration.
• The food should be fresh when being frozen to preserve good quality. Especially fruits and vegetables should be frozen after the harvest to preserve all of their nutrients.
• D o not freeze bottles or cans with liquids, in particular drinks containing carbon dioxide - they may explode during freezing.

• D o not put hot food in the freezer compartment. Cool it down at room temperature before placing it inside the compartment.
• To avoid increase in temperature of already frozen food, do not place fresh unfrozen food directly next to it. Place food at room temperature in the part of the freezer compartment where there is no frozen food.
• Do not eat ice cubes, water ices or ice lollies immediately after taking them out of the freezer. Risk of frostbites.
• D o not re-freeze defrosted food. If the food has defrosted, cook it, cool it down and then freeze it. Hints for storage of frozen food
• Freezer compartment is the one marked with

• Good temperature setting that ensures preservation of frozen food products is a temperature less than or equal to -18°C. Higher temperature setting inside the appliance may lead to shorter shelf life.
• The whole freezer compartment is suitable for storage of frozen food products.
• Leave enough space around the food to allow air to circulate freely.
• F or adequate storage refer to food packaging label to see the shelf life of food.
• It is important to wrap the food in such a way that prevents water, humidity or condensation from getting inside. Shopping tips After grocery shopping:
• E nsure that the packaging is not damaged - the food could be deteriorated. If the package is swollen or wet, it might have not been stored in the optimal conditions and defrosting may have already started.
• To limit the defrosting process buy frozen goods at the end of your grocery shopping and transport them in a thermal and insulated cool bag.
• Place the frozen foods immediately in the freezer after coming back from the shop.
• If food has defrosted even partially, do not re-freeze it. Consume it as soon as possible.
• R espect the expiry date and the storage information on the package. ENGLISH

CLEANING AND CARE

For hygienic reasons the appliance (including exterior and interior accessories) should be cleaned regularly at least every two months. CAUTION! The appliance must not be connected to the mains during cleaning. Danger of electrical shock! Before cleaning switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains socket. Exterior cleaning To maintain good appearance of your appliance, you should clean it regularly. - Wipe the digital panel and display panel with a clean, soft cloth. - Spray water onto the cleaning cloth instead of spraying directly on the surface of the appliance. This helps ensure an even distribution of moisture to the surface. - Clean the doors, handles and cabinet surfaces with a mild detergent and then wipe dry with a soft cloth. CAUTION! - Don't use sharp objects as they are likely to scratch the surface. - D o n ' t u s e T h i n n e r, C a r detergent, Clorox, ethereal oil, abrasive cleansers or organic solvent such as Benzene for cleaning. They may damage the surface of the appliance and may cause fire. Interior cleaning

• You should clean the appliance interior regularly. It will be easier to clean when food stocks are low.
