Storing food in the refrigerator and hygiene rules
The widespread use of ready meals and
other fragile foods, especially sensitive to any
failure to keep them at the recommended
low temperature
1
, has made it necessary to
improve the control of the transportation and
storage temperatures of such products.
At home, the correct use of the refrigerator
and the observance of strict hygiene rules
play a significant and effective role in
improving food preservation.
Food preservation / Temperature control
Store foods in the appropriate zone of the
appliance, depending on their nature:
Temperate zone: Beverages, eggs, butter,
industrial and home-made sauces, cooked
cheese, fresh fruit and vegetable.
Fresh zone: Dairy products, dairy desserts,
fat products, fresh cheese.
Coldest chill zone: meat, poultry, fish, cold
cuts, ready meals, mixed salads, cream- or
egg-based dishes and cakes, fresh pasta,
pastry, pizzas / quiches, fresh products
and unpasteurized cheese, ready-to-cook
vegetables in plastic sachets and more
generally all fresh produce with a use by date
associated with a storage temperature of
+4°C or less.
Observing the following advice will avoid
cross contamination and prevent the
incorrect preservation of foods.
Wrap all food systematically to avoid cross •
contamination.
Always wash your hands before handling •
food and several times when preparing
meals if this entails the subsequent
handling of different products, and
afterwards too, before eating, according to
the best hygiene rules.
Do not re-use dirty utensils (wooden •
spoons, chopping boards before washing
them first).
Wait for dishes to have cooled down •
completely before refrigerating or freezing
them (such as soup).
Limit the number of times you open the •
door and, under all circumstances, do not
leave the door open for too long to avoid
the temperature inside it rising.
Arrange food so that air can circulate freely •
around it.
It is advisable to check regularly that the
temperature, especially that in the coldest
zone, is correct and if this is not the case,
adjust the thermostat accordingly as
indicated (page on “Use”).
The temperature in a particular zone (on a
shelf, for example) can be measured using a
thermometer placed from the onset in a glass
full of water.
To have a truthful temperature reading, read
the thermometer without adjusting any of the
controls or opening the door.
Observing the hygiene rules
Clean the interior of the refrigerator •
frequently using a mild oxidant-free
detergent on the metal parts, then rinse
with water mixed with lemon juice, white
vinegar or specific refrigerator disinfectant.
Remove any overwrapping before placing •
food inside the refrigerator (such as the
outer packaging on yoghurt pots).
Cover all food.•
Consult the appliance user’s guide under •
all circumstances and in particular for care
tips.
1 Recommended low temperature: maintaining without
disruption the temperature required by a product, from
the time it is prepared and processed until it is eaten by
the consumer.

Before plugging-in and adjusting your
appliance, leave it approximately 3 hours on
stand-by, in a vertical position, or for 5 hours
if it was transported on its side.
On commissioning
Your appliance is designed for storing food,
so take care to clean the interior with warm
water and odourless detergent (washing-up
liquid) before use. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
If you unplug or turn off the appliance, wait
at least 10 minutes before plugging it back in
or turning it back on to avoid damaging the
compressor.
Your appliance is ventilated, which is why it is
normal, during operation, to hear the noise of
circulating air generated by the appliance fan.
Thermostats
Freezer compartment
The temperature inside each compartment
is adjusted using a thermostat graduated
from a minimum position up to a maximum
“COLDER” position, where the “COLDER”
position is the coldest temperature.
Since the “minimum position” and “COLDER”
settings are extremes, we advise you to
make the initial commissioning adjustment
to a setting in between, taking into account
the following comments: subsequently, your
experience alone will allow you to decide
which is the best setting.
Refrigerator compartment
On commissioning or after an extended
period of appliance downtime and if you
wish to use the freezer compartment, set
the freezer compartment thermostat to the
“COLDER” setting for approximately 2 hours
before putting any frozen or deep-frozen
foods inside the freezer compartment.
Then set the thermostat back to a normal
operating setting.
Notes:
The temperature inside the compartments
depends on several factors, such as the
ambient temperature, the quantity of food
stored, the frequency with which the door is
opened, etc.
Refrigerator compartment
Temperature indicator
To assist you in setting your appliance
correctly, we have fitted your refrigerator with
a temperature indicator, which is located in
the coldest zone.
For the proper preservation of the food
inside your refrigerator, and in particular in
the coldest zone, make sure the temperature
indicator displays “OK”.
If “OK” is not displayed, the average
temperature of the zone is too high. Adjust
the thermostat to a higher setting.
Since the word “OK” appears in black, it is
difficult to see if the temperature indicator
is not lit properly. It is easier to read if it is lit
correctly.
Every time the thermostat setting is changed,
wait for the temperature inside the appliance
to stabilise before changing to another
setting, if necessary. Only change the
thermostat setting progressively and wait at
least 12 hours before running another check
and making another change if necessary.
N.B. : Once you have loaded all your fresh
food into the refrigerator or after the door
has been opened repeatedly (or left open
for an extended period of time), it is normal
that the word “OK” does not appear in the
Use
electrolux 9
temperature indicator; wait at least 12 hours
before readjusting the thermostat setting.
Food storage position
The principle of “VENTILATED COOLING”
aims at distributing an even temperature
throughout the interior of the refrigerator.
The ideal temperature which is thus
guaranteed on all the refrigerator shelves
makes for greater freedom in the storage
of all foodstuffs and affords improved and
prolonged food preservation.
Our advice
Store only fresh, clean produce wrapped in •
packaging or packed in appropriate food
grade boxes (a variety of different models
are available for purchase).
Observe the advice for food storage and •
the food hygiene rules provided in the
paragraph entitled “Important warnings”.
To ensure the proper circulation of air, •
never cover the refrigerator shelves with
paper or plastic.
Notes: bananas, potatoes, garlic and onions
should not be stored in the refrigerator.
Fermented cheeses should only be stored
in the refrigerator if you wish to stop them
maturing any further. In this case, they should
be wrapped carefully.
Door alarm
If the refrigerator compartment door
remains open for more than two minutes
approximately, an alarm sounds.
Shut the door correctly to silence the alarm.
Modular units
Refrigerator compartment
Shelves
The runners fitted on the sides of the
appliance interior allow you to position the
shelves at different heights.
Half-shelf
If your appliance is fitted with a half-shelf, you
can move the half-shelf forward to place taller
items on the shelf below.
To do so:
Pull the half-shelf slightly forward.•
Lower the rear of the front half-shelf.•
Push the front half-shelf all the way under •
the rear half-shelf.
10 electrolux
Vegetable drawer
The vegetable drawer is designed for
preserving fruit and vegetables.
The shelf on top of the vegetable drawer is
fitted with a device featuring slots which can
be adjusted by means of a lever. The purpose
of this device is to delay the dehydration of
fruit and vegetables, keeping them fresh and
thus prolonging their preservation life.
If you have to remove this shelf (when
cleaning, for instance), make sure you
reposition it correctly.
Door storage trays
You can remove these storage trays to clean
them.
Freezer compartment

Frozen food storage box
Place frozen food inside this box.
Door storage trays
These storage trays are designed to store
food.
How to freeze
Your appliance is marked with the industry-
standard 4 stars
, meaning you
can store your own fresh foods and cooked
dishes inside it.
Freezing food means lowering its core
temperature to -18°C as quickly as possible.
To do so:
1. Set the freezer compartment thermostat
to the “COLDER” setting.
3 hours before placing fresh food
inside the appliance if it is empty
(on commissioning, for instance).
24 hours* before placing fresh food
inside the appliance if it contains frozen
food, and if you are using the maximum
freezing capacity.
2. Maintain the freezer setting for 24 hours*
after placing the food for freezing inside it.
3. Now return the appliance to a
preservation setting by adjusting the
thermostat to a middle setting.
* These time frames can be reduced in proportion to the
quantity of food to be frozen.
To freeze under the best conditions:
Observe the freezing capacity of your
appliance, namely the maximum quantity of
fresh food which can be frozen in 24 hours.
The freezing capacity of your appliance
is specified in the section entitled
“Technical characteristics”.
Avoid storing fresh produce directly in contact
with frozen foods.
Preserving shop-bought frozen and
deep-frozen foods
For the correct preservation of frozen and deep-
frozen foods, the temperature inside the freezer
compartment should be kept at -18°C or less.
Make sure the food packaging is intact and
that there are no signs of moisture, which
indicates defrosting has begun.
Plan the shortest transportation time between
the food store and your home. Use insulated
shopping bags (wherever possible).
Find the date of preparation of the item and
keep to the manufacturer’s recommended
preservation time.
Avoid opening the freezer compartment
door too often and only leave it open for the
requisite amount of time.
An increase in temperature could drastically
reduce the preservation life of food.
electrolux 11
Maintenance
Unplug the appliance before performing
any maintenance and cleaning tasks.
Caution
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in
the refrigeration circuit; the latter should
therefore only be serviced and recharged
by a qualified professional.
Never use abrasive or caustic cleansers,
or scraping pads to clean the interior and
the exterior of your appliance.
Do not touch icy surfaces and frozen
foods with wet or damp hands and
do not eat certain foods such as ice
lollies as soon as you remove them
from the freezer compartment, as the
very low temperature at which they
were stored could cause frostbite or
tearing of the skin. Defrosted foods
must be eaten as soon as possible
and never be refrozen, except if it has
been cooked on thawing.
Making ice cubes
Ice cubes are made in the freezer
compartment.
Take out the ice cube tray. Fill it with water
up to the level indicated. Reposition it in its
original position. To tip the ice cubes into the
tank, turn the knob. Then fill the trays up with
water again.
If your water is especially rich in mineral salts
(especially limescale), fill the trays with still
mineral water.
We advise you to make new ice cubes on a
regular basis.
Never detach the ice trays with a
knife or other sharp object, as this
could cause irreparable damage to
the evaporator.
Maintenance and cleaning
Defrosting
Your appliance is completely free of ice on
the interior walls thanks to the VENTILATED
COOLING.
This process consists of circulating cold dry
air throughout the compartments thanks to
a turbine, which eliminates the need for any
defrosting.
The appliance is therefore automatically
defrosted. The defrosted water is drained in
a tray at the rear of the appliance, where it
evaporates. Wipe it with a damp sponge on a
regular basis.
Cleaning
Only clean the appliance after you
have unplugged it.
Never use steam jets to clean the
appliance. The moisture could
penetrate the electrical components
and the hot steam could damage the
original parts.
It is vital that you keep your appliance
thoroughly clean.
Never use abrasive or caustic
cleansers, or scraping pads to clean
the interior and the exterior of your
appliance.
Also avoid using alcohol or detergents
containing alcohol: this could cause
irreparable damage to the coating of your
appliance and in particular to the plastic parts
(appliance interior, handle, etc.).
12 electrolux
Cleaning the interior
It is advisable to clean the refrigerator
compartment very frequently and the freezer
compartment once or twice a year.
Refrigerator compartment
Remove all the accessories from inside •
the compartment (shelves, storage trays,
vegetable drawer(s), etc.). Wash them with
warm water and a little mild odourless
detergent (such as washing-up liquid); rinse
with chlorinated water and dry thoroughly.
Wash the interior walls of the compartment •
the same way as the accessories. Take
special care with the shelf supports.
Wash the rubber door seal without •
forgetting to clean beneath the seal as well.
Freezer compartment
Wash the freezer compartment and door seal
using a sponge and mild detergent. Rinse
and dry thoroughly.
Cleaning the exterior
Wash the outer body of the appliance using
warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
From time to time, dust the condenser (grille
situated at the rear of the appliance) using a
vacuum cleaner or a brush.
Replacing the light bulb
Unplug the appliance.
Open the light cover and remove the light
bulb.
Unscrew the light bulb and replace it with a
similar model of the same wattage. If, when
you remove the light bulb, the small rubber
o-ring comes out with the light bulb, place it
on top of the new light bulb and screw the
latter into the socket.
Reposition the light cover and wait 5 minutes
before plugging the appliance back in.
Warning and advice

remain free to allow the air to circulate. Do
not cover it with a mat, etc.
Make sure that air can circulate freely all
around the appliance by keeping a clearance
of at least 30 mm on either side and of 50
mm behind it. If however you wish to position
the appliance in a recess or directly beneath a
cabinet, it is vital that you leave a clearance of
90 mm between the top of the appliance and
the cabinet above it.
Make sure you observe a minimum clearance
of 10 cm between the side of the appliance,
where the hinges are, and the wall to allow
the shelves to be removed when the door is
open.
If the appliance is installed beside
another refrigerator or freezer, observe a
minimum clearance of 2 cm to prevent any
condensation from forming.
To ensure your appliance operates
correctly, the ambient temperature of
the room in which it is installed must
be between +18°C and +38°C. Outside
this temperature range, its performance
levels may drop.
The appliance must be unpluggable at
all times; it is therefore necessary for the
wall socket to remain accessible once
installation is complete.
On commissioning
Clean the interior with warm water and
odourless detergent (washing-up liquid)
before using the appliance. Rinse and dry
thoroughly.
If you unplug or turn off the appliance, wait
at least 10 minutes before plugging it back in
or turning it back on to avoid damaging the
compressor.
Electrical connection
Your appliance should only be plugged into
a 230 V single-phase socket. Make sure
your electricity meter can provide the power
absorbed by your appliance taking into account
the other appliances already plugged in.
Rating of the linear fuses (one per phase)
10 A at 230 V.
Important
The appliance must be installed
according to good practice and in

Almacenamiento de alimentos en los frigoríficos y normas de higiene
El consumo cada vez mayor de platos
preparados y de otros alimentos frágiles,
sensibles en particular a la rotura de la
cadena de frío
1
hace necesario un mejor
control de la temperatura de transporte y de
almacenamiento de esos productos.
En casa, un buen uso del frigorífico y
el respeto de unas reglas de higiene
escrupulosas contribuyen de manera
significativa y eficaz a la mejora de la
conservación de los alimentos.
Conservación de los alimentos / Control
de las temperaturas
Guarde los alimentos en la zona adecuada,
según su naturaleza:
Zona temperada: Bebidas, huevos,
mantequilla, salsas industriales y preparadas,
quesos de pasta fresca, frutas y verduras
frescas.
Zona fresca: Productos lácteos, postres
lácteos, materias grasas, quesos frescos.
La zona más fría: carnes, aves, pescados,
charcutería, platos preparados, ensaladas,
preparaciones y pasteles a base de huevos
o de nata, pasta fresca, pasta para tartas,
pizza / quiches, productos frescos y quesos
elaborados con leche cruda, bolsas de
plástico con verduras listas para su consumo
y, más en general, todo producto fresco cuya
fecha de caducidad esté asociada a una
temperatura de conservación inferior o igual
a +4°C.
Seguir estos consejos tiene como objetivo
evitar la contaminación cruzada y prevenir
una mala conservación de los alimentos.
Embalar sistemáticamente los productos •
para evitar que los alimentos se
contaminen mutuamente.
Lavarse las manos antes de tocar los •
alimentos y varias veces durante la
preparación de la comida si ésta implica
la manipulación sucesiva de productos
diferentes y después, por supuesto, en
el momento de sentarse a la mesa, tal y
como imponen las reglas de higiene.
No reutilizar los utensilios que ya han sido •
utilizados (cucharas de madera, planchas
de corte) sin haberlos limpiado bien antes.
Esperar que las preparaciones se enfríen •
por completo antes de guardarlas en el
frigorífico (por ejemplo la sopa).
Limitar el número de veces que se abre •
la puerta y, en cualquier caso, no dejarla
abierta demasiado tiempo para evitar un
ascenso de la temperatura del frigorífico.
Disponer los alimentos de manera que el •
aire pueda circular libremente alrededor.
Se debería comprobar regularmente que la
temperatura, sobre todo la de la zona más
fría, es correcta y, si hace falta, ajustar el
termostato en consecuencia como se indica
en la página “Utilización”.
La medida de la temperatura en una zona del
frigorífico (en una rejilla, por ejemplo) puede
hacerse con un termómetro que desde el
principio se haya colocado en un recipiente
lleno de agua (un vaso, por ejemplo).
Para obtener un resultado fiel a la realidad,
lea la temperatura sin manipular los mandos
ni abrir la puerta.
Respeto de las reglas de higiene
Limpie con frecuencia el interior del •
frigorífico utilizando para ello un producto
suave y que no afecte oxidante en las
partes metálicas. A continuación aclare
con agua a la que habrá añadido zumo
de limón, vinagre blanco o con cualquier
desinfectante adaptado para frigoríficos.
Retire los embalajes antes de colocar los •
alimentos en el frigorífico (por ejemplo, los
cartones de los yogures).
Cubra los alimentos.•
Consulte el manual de instrucciones del •
aparato en todas las circunstancias y
en particular para obtener consejos de
mantenimiento.
1 Cadena de frío: mantenimiento sin ruptura de la
temperatura que requiere un producto, desde la
preparación y el acondicionamiento hasta la utilización
por parte del consumidor.
20 electrolux
Instalación
Compruebe, tras instalar el aparato, que no •
descansa sobre el cable de alimentación.
Importante: en caso de que el cable de
alimentación sufra algún daño, sólo debe
remplazarlo un profesional cualificado.
El aparato se sobrecalienta a nivel del •
condensador y del compresor. Permita
que el aire circule libremente alrededor
del aparato. Una ventilación insuficiente
implica un mal funcionamiento y daños
para el aparato. Siga las instrucciones de
instalación.
Tras la entrega, espere 2 horas antes •
de enchufar el frigorífico para que se
estabilice.
Protección del medio ambiente
El sistema frigorífico y el aislamiento
del aparato no contienen CFC., con lo
que se contribuye a preservar el medio
ambiente. Este frigorífico no debe
considerarse como desecho doméstico.
Cuando deba desecharlo, evite dañar
el circuito refrigerante, sobre todo en la
parte trasera, cerca del condensador.
Para obtener más información sobre
cómo reciclar este producto, póngase
en contacto con los servicios de su
Ayuntamiento o con la tienda en la que ha
realizado la nueva compra. Los materiales
utilizados en este aparato identificados
con el símbolo son reciclables.
Servicio postventa
En caso de anomalía de funcionamiento,
consulte la sección “Funcionamiento
anómalo”. Si a pesar de todas las
comprobaciones, el frigorífico requiere
una intervención, el vendedor es el primer
autorizado para hacerlo. En su defecto
(porque haya habido una mudanza, el cierre
de la tienda donde se adquirió, etc.), consulte
el Centro de Contacto con el Consumidor,
donde le indicarán la dirección de un Servicio
Postventa.
En caso de que el aparato requiera una
intervención, exija al servicio postventa
recambios certificados por el Fabricante.
Placa de matrícula
Cuando llame al Servicio Postventa,
indique el modelo, el número de producto
y el número de serie del aparato. Toda
esa información figura en la placa
de matrícula que se encuentra en el
frigorífico.
