Environment Protection This appliance does not contain gasses which could damage the ozone layer, in either its refrigerant circuit or insula- tion materials. The appliance shall not be discarded together with the urban re- fuse and rubbish. The insulation foam contains flammable gases: the appli- ance shall be disposed according to the applicable regulations to obtain from your local authorities. Avoid dam- aging the cooling unit, especially at the rear near the heat exchanger. The ma- terials used on this appliance marked by the symbol are recyclable. OPERATION Switching on Insert the plug into the wall socket. Turn the Temperature regulator clockwise to a medium setting. Switching off To turn off the appliance, turn the Tempera- ture regulator to the "O" position. Temperature regulation The temperature is automatically regulated. To operate the appliance, proceed as fol- lows:

• turn the Temperature regulator toward lower settings to obtain the minimum cold- ness.

• turn the Temperature regulator toward higher settings to obtain the maximum coldness. A medium setting is generally the most suitable. However, the exact setting should be chos- en keeping in mind that the temperature in- side the appliance depends on:

• 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 dial must be set to a higher temperature to allow automatic defrosting and therefore reduced energy consumption. FIRST USE Cleaning the interior Before using the appliance for the first time, wash the interior and all internal accesso- ries with lukewarm water and some neutral soap so as to remove the typical smell of a brand-new product, then dry thoroughly. Important! Do not use detergents or abra- sive powders, as these will damage the fin- ish. DAILY USE Movable shelves The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a series of runners so that the shelves can be positioned as desired.

14) If a water connection is foreseen

electrolux 25Positioning the door shelves To permit storage of food packages of vari- ous sizes, the door shelves can be placed at different heights. To make these adjustments proceed as fol- lows: gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the arrows until it comes free, then reposition as required. Bottle rack Place the bottles (with the opening facing front) in the pre-positioned shelf. Important! If the shelf is positioned horizontally, place only closed bottles. This bottle holder shelf can be tilted in order to store previously opened bottles. To ob- tain this result, pull the shelf up so it can ro- tate upwards and be placed on the next higher level.

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 loa- ded, the compressor may run continuous- ly, causing frost or ice on the evaporator. If this happens, set the Temperature Reg- ulator toward warmer settings to allow au- tomatic defrosting and so a saving in elec- tricity consumption. Hints for fresh food refrigeration To obtain the best performance:

• do not store warm food or evaporating liq- uids in the refrigerator 26 electrolux• do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour

• position food so that air can circulate free- ly around it Hints for refrigeration Useful hints: Meat (all types) : wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelf above the veg- etable 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 thor- oughly 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.

Caution! Unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance operation. This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling unit; maintenance and re- charging must therefore only be carried out by authorized technicians. Periodic cleaning The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:

• clean the inside and accessories with luke- warm water and some neutral soap.

• regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are clean and free from debris.

• rinse and dry thoroughly. Important! Do not pull, move or damage any pipes and/or cables inside the cabinet. Never use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products or wax polishes to clean the interior as this will dam- age the surface and leave a strong odour. Clean the condenser (black grill) and the compressor at the back of the appliance with a brush or a vacuum cleaner. This op- eration will improve the performance of the appliance and save electricity consumption. Important! Take care of not to damage the cooling system. Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners contain chemicals that can attack/damage the plastics used in this appliance. For this reason it is recommended that the outer cas- ing of this appliance is only cleaned with warm water with a little washing-up liquid added. After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to the mains supply. Defrosting of the refrigerator Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of the refrigerator compartment every time the motor compressor stops, dur- ing normal use. The defrost water drains out through a trough into a special contain- er at the back of the appliance, over the mo- tor compressor, where it evaporates. It is important to periodically clean the de- frost water drain hole in the middle of the re- frigerator compartment channel to prevent the water overflowing and dripping onto the food inside. Use the special cleaner provi- ded, which you will find already inserted in- to the drain hole. electrolux 27Periods of non-operation When the appliance is not in use for long pe- riods, take the following precautions:

• disconnect the appliance from elec- tricity supply

defrost 15) and clean the appliance and all accessories

• leave the door/doors ajar to prevent un- pleasant smells. If the cabinet will be kept on, ask some- body to check it once in a while to prevent the food inside from spoiling in case of a power failure.

Warning! Before troubleshooting, disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket. Only a qualified electrician or compe- tent person must do the troubleshoot- ing that is not in this manual. Important! There are some sounds during normal use (compressor, refrigerant circulation). Problem Possible cause Solution The appliance does not operate. The lamp does not operate. The appliance is switched off. Switch on the appliance. The mains plug is not connected to the mains socket correctly. Connect the mains plug to the mains socket correctly.
