4.1 Initial power on

CAUTION! Before inserting the power plug in to the outlet and switching on the cabinet for the first time, leave the appliance standing upright for at least 4 hours. This will assure a sufficient amount of time for the oil to return to the compressor. Otherwise the compressor or electronic components may sustain damage.

4.2 Storage of frozen food

When first starting-up or after a period out of use, before putting the products in the compartment let the appliance run at least 2 hours with the FROSTMATIC function turned on. The freezer drawers ensure that it is quick and easy to find the food package you want. If large quantities of food are to be stored, remove all drawers except for the bottom drawer which needs to be in place to provide good air circulation. On all shelves it is possible to place food that protrude until 15 mm from the door.

4.3 Freezing fresh food

The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen and deep-frozen food for a long time. To freeze small amount of fresh foods it is not necessary to change the present setting. To freeze fresh food activate the FROSTMATIC function at least 24 hours before placing the food to be frozen in the freezer compartment. Place the food to be frozen in the top compartment. The maximum amount of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rating plate, a label located on the inside of the appliance. www.electrolux.com52The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during this period do not add other food to be frozen. When the freezing process is completed, return to the required temperature (see "FROSTMATIC Function"). In this condition, the refrigerator compartment temperature might drop below 0°C. If this occurs reset the temperature regulator to a warmer setting.

The drawer inside the module is suitable for storing fresh food like fish, meat, seafood, because the temperature is lower here than in the rest of the fridge. CAUTION! Before placing or removing the FreshBox module inside the appliance, pull out the MaxiBox drawer and glass cover. The FreshBox module is equipped with runners. At the time of its removal from the fridge compartment pull the module towards yourself and remove the basket by tilting its front downwards.

The refrigerator compartment is equipped with an automatic device that allows for rapid cooling of foods and more uniform temperature in the compartment. It is possible to switch on the device manually when needed (refer to "DYNAMICAIR function").

5. CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING! Refer to Safety chapters.

5.1 Cleaning the interior

Before using the appliance for the first time, the interior and all internal accessories should be washed with lukewarm water and some neutral soap to remove the typical smell of a brand-new product, then dried thoroughly. CAUTION! Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these will damage the finish.

5.2 Periodic cleaning

CAUTION! Do not pull, move or damage any pipes and/or cables inside the cabinet. CAUTION! Take care of not to damage the cooling system. CAUTION! When moving the cabinet, lift it by the front edge to avoid scratching the floor. ENGLISH 53The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:

1. Clean the inside and accessories with

lukewarm water and some neutral soap.

2. Regularly check the door seals and

wipe clean to ensure they are clean and free from debris.

3. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

4. If accessible, clean the condenser and

the compressor at the back of the appliance with a brush. This operation will improve the performance of the appliance and save electricity consumption. The lowest shelf, dividing the cooler compartment from the compartment can be removed only for cleaning. To remove pull out the shelf straight. To make sure fully functionality of the FreshBox compartment the lowest shelf and cover plates must be put back in their original position after cleaning. The cover plates above the drawers in the compartment can be taken out for cleaning.

Your appliance is frost free. This means that there is no build up of frost when it is in operation, neither on the internal walls nor on the foods. The absence of frost is due to the continuous circulation of cold air inside the compartment, driven by an automatically controlled fan. The defrost water drains out through a trough into a special container at the back of the appliance, over the motor compressor, where it evaporates. It is important to periodically clean the defrost water drain hole in the middle of the refrigerator compartment channel to prevent the water overflowing and dripping onto the food inside.

5.4 Periods of non-operation

When the appliance is not in use for long periods, take the following precautions:

1. Disconnect the appliance from

3. Clean the appliance and all

4. Leave the door/doors open to prevent

WARNING! Refer to Safety chapters.

6.1 What to do if...

Problem Possible cause Solution The appliance is noisy. The appliance is not sup- ported properly. Check if the appliance stands stable. Audible or visual alarm is on. The cabinet has been re- cently switched on or the temperature is still too high. Refer to "Door Open Alarm"or "High Temperature Alarm". www.electrolux.com54Problem Possible cause Solution The temperature in the ap- pliance is too high. Refer to "Door Open Alarm"or "High Temperature Alarm". A square symbol is shown instead of numbers on the Temperature Display. Temperature sensor prob- lem. Contact the nearest Author- ised Service Centre (the cool- ing system will continue to keep food products cold, but temperature adjustment will not be possible). The lamp does not work. The lamp is in stand-by. Close and open the door. The lamp does not work. The lamp is defective. Contact the nearest Author- ised Service Centre. The compressor operates continually. Temperature is set incor- rectly. Refer to "Operation" chapter. Many food products were put in at the same time. Wait some hours and then check the temperature again. The room temperature is too high. Refer to climate class chart on the rating plate. Food products placed in the appliance were too warm. Allow food products to cool to room temperature before storing. The FROSTMATIC func- tion is switched on. Refer to "FROSTMATIC func- tion". The COOLMATIC function is switched on. Refer to "COOLMATIC func- tion". The compressor does not start immediately after pressing the FROSTMAT- IC, or after changing the temperature. This is normal, no error has occurred. The compressor starts after a period of time. The compressor does not start immediately after pressing the COOLMATIC, or after changing the tem- perature. This is normal, no error has occurred. The compressor starts after a period of time. Water flows inside the re- frigerator. The water outlet is clog- ged. Clean the water outlet. Food products prevent that water flows into the water collector. Make sure that food products do not touch the rear plate. ENGLISH 55Problem Possible cause Solution Water flows on the floor. The melting water outlet is not connected to the evaporative tray above the compressor. Attach the melting water out- let to the evaporative tray. Temperature cannot be set. The FROSTMATIC or COOLMATIC function is switched on. Switch off FROSTMATIC or COOLMATIC manually, or wait until the function resets automatically to set the tem- perature. Refer to "FROST- MATIC or COOLMATIC func- tion". The temperature in the ap- pliance is too low/too high. The temperature regulator is not set correctly. Set a higher/lower tempera- ture. The food products' tem- perature is too high. Let the food products tem- perature decrease to room temperature before storage. Many food products are stored at the same time. Store less food products at the same time. The FROSTMATIC func- tion is switched on. Refer to "FROSTMATIC func- tion". The COOLMATIC function is switched on. Refer to "COOLMATIC func- tion". If the advice does not lead to the desired result, contact the nearest Authorised Service Centre.
