Frequently Asked Questions - ECN30105W ELECTROLUX

How to adjust the freezer temperature?

Turn the thermostat knob clockwise for a lower temperature, or counter-clockwise for a less cold temperature.

What is the Super Freeze function used for?

The Super Freeze function allows freezing a large quantity of fresh food (more than 3-4 kg). Activate it 24 hours earlier by pressing button D; the yellow indicator lights up. It stops automatically after 52 hours.

Why does the audible alarm go off?

The audible alarm goes off if the internal temperature is too high (lid open too long, introduction of fresh food, or malfunction). Press button D to stop it. The red indicator stays on until the temperature is sufficiently low.

How to defrost the freezer?

Unplug the appliance, remove the food, leave the lid open. Unplug the defrost water drain and collect the water. Use the provided scraper to remove the ice. Never use sharp objects. Wipe the interior before restarting.

How to clean the interior of the freezer?

Unplug the appliance, remove the baskets. Clean with a damp cloth and warm water with a mild fragrance-free detergent. Do not use abrasive or scented products.

What to do if the lid does not close properly?

Check that no food packages or frost accumulation prevent closure. Clean the seal if it is dirty or sticky. Make sure the freezer is level.

How to change the interior bulb?

Unplug the appliance. Remove the defective bulb and replace it with a new bulb of a maximum power of 15 W. Reconnect the appliance.

What is the freezing capacity in 24 hours?

The freezer can freeze up to 17 kg of fresh food in 24 hours.

What are the important safety precautions?

Do not consume ice cubes immediately after removal (risk of frostbite). Do not let children play inside. Do not store full bottles (risk of bursting). Do not place the appliance on the power cord.

What to do in case of power failure?

Do not open the lid. Food remains frozen for up to 32 hours (according to specifications). If the power failure lasts longer, quickly consume thawed food or refreeze it after cooking.

Safety Information

Before installing and using the appliance read this user's instruction book carefully. It contains safety precautions, hints, information and ideas. If the freezer is used in compliance with the instructions written, it will operate properly and provide you with greatest satisfaction.

These warnings are provided in the interest of safety. You must read them carefully before installing or using the appliance.

• Use the freezer only for storing frozen food, freezing fresh food and making ice cubes.
• Do not eat ice cubes or ice lollies immediately after taking them out of the freezer, since they may cause frost burns.
• Do not allow children to play or hide inside the freezer, since they may become trapped inside and suffocate.
• Do not store glass containers with liquids in the freezer, since they may burst.
• Ensure that the freezer is not resting on the power supply cable.
• Before servicing or cleaning, always unplug the appliance or disconnect the power supply.
• Do not use other electrical appliances (such as ice cream makers) inside the appliance.
• Your appliance contains an environmentally friendly natural gas, isobuthane (R600a). Caution is required however, since isobuthane is flammable. Therefore it is essential to ensure that the refrigerant pipelines are not damaged.

It is most important that this instruction book should be retained with the appliance for future reference.

Installation

• Wait at least 2 hours before connecting the freezer to the power supply to ensure the refrigerant circuit is fully efficient.
• Install the freezer in a dry, well ventilated room. Avoid locations near a source of heat or in direct sunlight.
• The room temperature should correspond to the climatic classification for which the freezer was designed, see chapter "Technical data".
• Place the freezer horizontally on a firm surface, resting on all four feet.
• For optimum operation and in order to avoid damage when the lid is opened, leave a space of at least 5 cm from the rear wall and 5 cm at the sides.
• Before connecting the freezer to the power supply, ensure that the voltage corresponds to that indicated in chapter "Technical data" under "Voltage".

Danger!

• Ensure that the freezer is not resting on the power supply cable.
• Do not remove the power supply cable by pulling on its lead, particularly when the freezer is being pulled out of its niche.
• The power supply cable may only be replaced by a qualified service personnel.
• Ensure that the power plug is not squashed or damaged by the back of the freezer.
• There must be adequate ventilation around the appliance.

Helpful hints and tips

Freezing food

• Before freezing, fresh food must be packed in airtight and moisture-proof packaging to prevent it from drying out.
• Only use fresh food of the best quality.
  • Always leave hot food to cool to room temperature before placing in the freezer.
• Divide food into small portions before freezing; this ensures that freezing is more rapid, and that you only need to defrost the amount needed for immediate consumption.
• Mark the freezer packaging with the date of freezing.
• Place fresh food for freezing close to the cold sides of the freezer, making sure that it is not in contact with the frozen food already in the freezer.
• Frozen food can be stored anywhere inside the freezer, but should be kept at least 5 mm below the upper edge.
  If freezing is too slow, the quality of the food being frozen deteriorates. The amount of fresh food (expressed in kg)

that can be frozen in 24 hours is indicated in the chapter "Technical data" under "Freezing capacity".

Food storage

• For fresh frozen food, please refer to the storage period table underneath.
• For purchased frozen food, never exceed the expiry date.
• When you buy frozen food, make sure that it has been stored at the correct temperature. Do not buy products which have wet or damaged packaging. Place purchased products in your freezer as quickly as possible. We recommend using an insulated bag to bring such products home with you.

Important! Remember that fully or partially defrosted food must not be re-frozen. However, dishes which have been cooked using defrosted food may be frozen.
