4. DAILY USE

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

4.1 Positioning the door

shelves

To permit storage of food packages of

various sizes, the door shelves can be

placed at different heights.

CAUTION!

Do not move the big lower

door shelf to ensure correct

air circulation.

Gradually pull the shelf in the direction of

the arrows until it comes free, then

reposition as required.

4.2 Bottle rack

1. Place the bottles (with the opening

facing front) in the pre-positioned

shelf.

If the shelf is positioned

horizontally, place only

closed bottles.

2. To store previously opened bottles,

pull the shelf up so it can rotate

upwards and be placed on the next

higher level.

A few positions can't be

used due to interference with

the temperature sensor.

4.3 Movable shelves

The walls of the refrigerator are equipped

with a series of shelves support so that

the shelves can be positioned as

desired.

Some shelves must be lifted up by the

rear edge to enable them to be removed.

The shelf (A) above the

water module is

recommended to be placed

as shown for good air

circulation.

Do not move the glass shelf

above the vegetable drawer

to ensure correct air

circulation.

www.electrolux.com30

A

4.4 Vegetable Drawer

The drawer is suitable for storing fruit

and vegetables.

Some models have a separator inside

the drawer that can be placed in different

positions to allow for the subdivision best

suited to personal needs.

All parts inside the drawer can be

removed for cleaning purposes.

4.5 Taste Guard filter

Your appliance is equipped with a carbon

filter behind the air lever flap.

The filter purifies the air from unwanted

odours in the fridge compartment

preserving food quality.

On delivery the filter is in a plastic bag.

Refer to "Installation of the Taste Guard

filter" for instructions.

Make sure that the air lever

flap is closed to obtain

proper function.

4.6 Cleaning the interior

1. Before using the appliance for the

first time, wash the interior and all

internal accessories with lukewarm

water and neutral soap so as to

remove the typical smell of a brand-

new product, then dry thoroughly.

2. Check that the drain hose at the rear

of the cabinet discharges into the drip

tray.

CAUTION!

Do not use detergents or

abrasive powders, as these

will damage the finish.

5. HINTS AND TIPS

5.1 Normal operating sounds

The following sounds are normal during

operation:

• A faint gurgling and bubbling sound

from coils sound when refrigerant is

pumped.

• A whirring and pulsating sound from

the compressor when refrigerant is

pumped.

• A sudden cracking noise from inside

appliance caused by thermic dilatation

(a natural and not dangerous physical

phenomenon).

• A faint click noise from the

temperature regulator when the

compressor switches on or off.

5.2 Hints for energy saving

• Do not open the door frequently or

leave it open longer than absolutely

necessary.

• Place the shelf above the water

module as described in the "Daily

use" chapter.

5.3 Hints for fresh food

refrigeration

To obtain the best performance:

• do not store warm food or evaporating

liquids in the refrigerator

• do cover or wrap the food, particularly

if it has a strong flavour

ENGLISH 31

• position food so that air can circulate

freely around it

5.4 Hints for refrigeration

Useful hints:

• Meat (all types) : wrap in polythene

bags and place on the glass shelf

above the vegetable 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

thoroughly 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.

• Bottles: these need a cap and should

be stored on the door bottle shelf, or

(if equipped) on the bottle rack.

• Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic,

if not packed, must not be kept in the

refrigerator.

5.5 Hints for temperature inside

the fridge

• A suitable temperature inside the

fridge is approx. +4° C. If the

temperature regulator is set to a cold

temperature, the ambient temperature

is high or if the fridge is fully loaded

the compressor will run for a longer

time. If too cold, change to a higher

temperature setting.

CAUTION!

Do not place food against

or close to the

temperature sensor (A).

This can result in too cold

temperatures.

A

• If you want to check the temperature

of food stored in the refrigerator, place

a glass of water centrally in the

cabinet, and put a proper

thermometer with an accuracy of +/–

1 °C into it. After 6 hours the

temperature can be monitored. The

measuring shall be performed under

steady-stated conditions (without

changing the load).

Some functional problems

might occur for some types

of models when operating

outside of that range. The

correct operation can only

be guaranteed within the

specified temperature range.

If you have any doubts

regarding where to install the

appliance, please turn to the

vendor, to our customer

service or to the nearest

Authorised Service Centre.

8.2 Electrical connection

• Before plugging in, ensure that the

voltage and frequency shown on the

rating plate correspond to your

domestic power supply.

• The appliance must be earthed. The

power supply cable plug is provided

with a contact for this purpose. If the

domestic power supply socket is not

earthed, connect the appliance to a

separate earth in compliance with

current regulations, consulting a

qualified electrician.

• The manufacturer declines all

responsibility if the above safety

precautions are not observed.

• This appliance complies with the

E.E.C. Directives.

8.3 Location

To ensure best performance, if the

appliance is positioned below an

overhanging wall unit, the minimum

distance between the top of the cabinet

and the wall unit must be at least 40 mm.

Ideally, however, the appliance should

not be positioned below overhanging wall

units.

The ventilation space can be:

• directly above the appliance

• behind and above the top cupboard.

In this case, the space behind the top

cupboard must be at least 50 mm

deep.

CAUTION!

Some models are fitted with

a silencing pad under the

cabinet. Do not remove this

pad.

8.5 Rear spacers

Install the two spacers and the locking

pins provided within the accessory bag

as shown in the figure.

8.6 Connecting the water hose.

Water supply should be provided with a

tap and 3/4" male connector within 1,5 m

from the appliance.

This work is to be carried out by a skilled

plumber.

There are different type-approved taps

and tap assemblies on the market.

The water hose must not be cracked,

squeezed or put in tight bends.

The safety valve provided in a package

inside the appliance should be used to

prevent overflow. Before the safety valve

is placed on the tap, turn the pointer

clockwise to number 10 with the

enclosed plastic key. Install the safety

valve on the tap and let at least 10 litres

of water flow through the device. Before

connecting the appliance turn the pointer

to number 1 on the safety valve. If the

safety valve has shut off, detach it and

press the red plunger which is located

inside the lower housing of the device

itself.

Before the appliance is placed its final

location, ensure that the water

connection has been correctly carried

out, that there is no leakage at the

connection to the water tap.

Tighten the screw enough by hand.

Make sure that the gasket is properly

positioned in the connector.

We recommend that the appliance is

placed on a "run-off" mat intended for

refrigerators and freezers, which makes it

easier to detect possible leakage
