regulate the humidity in the vegetable

drawer(s).

www.electrolux.com12

The position of the humidity control

depends on the type and on the amount

of fruits and vegetables:

• Slots closed: recommended when

there is a small amount of fruits and

vegetables. In this way, the natural

moisture content in fruits and

vegetables is preserved longer.

• Slots opened: recommended when

there is a big amount of fruits and

vegetables. In this way, more air

circulation results in a lower air

moisture.

5.5 DYNAMICAIR

the door is closed.

5.6 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 fresh food activate the

FastFreeze function at least 24 hours

before placing the food to be frozen in

the freezer compartment.

Store the fresh food evenly distributed in

the third compartment or drawer from the

top.

The maximum amount of food that can

be frozen without adding other fresh food

during 24 hours is specified on the rating

plate (a label located inside the

appliance).

When the freezing process is complete,

the appliance automatically returns to the

previous temperature setting (see

"FastFreeze Function").

5.7 Storage of frozen food

When activating an appliance for the first

time or after a period out of use, before

putting the products in the compartment

let the appliance run at least 3 hours with

the FastFreeze function switched 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.

Keep the food no closer than 15 mm

from the door.

CAUTION!

In the event of accidental

defrosting, for example due

to a power failure, if the

power has been off for

longer than the value shown

on rating plate under "rising

time", the defrosted food

must be consumed quickly

or cooked immediately then

cooled and then re-frozen.

Refer to "High temperature

alarm".

5.8 Thawing

Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to

being consumed, can be thawed in the

refrigerator or inside a plastic bag under

cold water.

This operation depends on the time

available and on the type of food. Small

pieces may even be cooked still frozen.

5.9 Ice-cube production

This appliance is equipped with one or

more trays for the production of ice-

cubes.

ENGLISH 13

compartment.

5.10 Cold accumulators

This appliance is equipped with cold

accumulators which increase storage

time in the event of a power cut or

breakdown.

To ensure the best performance of the

accumulators, place them in the front top

area of the appliance.

6. HINTS AND TIPS

6.1 Hints for energy saving

• Freezer: The internal configuration of

the appliance is the one that ensures

the most efficient use of energy.

• Fridge: Most efficient use of energy is

ensured in the configuration with the

drawers in the bottom part of the

appliance and shelves evenly

distributed. Position of the door bins

does not affect energy consumption.

• Do not remove the cold accumulators

from the freezer basket.

• Do not open the door frequently or

leave it open longer than necessary.

• Freezer: The colder the temperature

setting, the higher the energy

consumption.

• Fridge: Do not set too high

temperature to save energy unless it

is required by the characteristics of

the food.

• If the ambient temperature is high and

the temperature control is set to low

temperature and the appliance is fully

loaded, the compressor may run

continuously, causing frost or ice

formation on the evaporator. In this

case, set the temperature control

toward higher temperature to allow

automatic defrosting and to save

energy this way.

• Ensure a good ventilation. Do not

cover the ventilation grilles or holes.

• Make sure that food products inside

the appliance allow air circulation

through dedicated holes in the rear

interior of the appliance.

6.2 Hints for freezing

• Activate FastFreeze function at least

24 hours before placing the food

inside the freezer compartment.

• Before freezing wrap and seal fresh

food in: aluminium foil, plastic film or

bags, airtight containers with lid.

• For more efficient freezing and

thawing divide food into small

portions.

• It is recommended to put labels and

dates on all your frozen food. This will

help to identify foods and to know

when they should be used before their

deterioration.

• The food should be fresh when being

frozen to preserve good quality.

Especially fruits and vegetables

should be frozen after the harvest to

preserve all of their nutrients.

• Do not freeze bottles or cans with

liquids, in particular drinks containing

carbon dioxide - they may explode

during freezing.

• Do not put hot food in the freezer

compartment. Cool it down at room

temperature before placing it inside

the compartment.

• To avoid increase in temperature of

already frozen food, do not place

fresh unfrozen food directly next to it.

Place food at room temperature in the

part of the freezer compartment

where there is no frozen food.

• Do not eat ice cubes, water ices or ice

lollies immediately after taking them

out of the freezer. Risk of frostbites.

• Do not re-freeze defrosted food. If the

food has defrosted, cook it, cool it

down and then freeze it.

www.electrolux.com14

6.3 Hints for storage of frozen

food

• Freezer compartment is the one

marked with

.

• Good temperature setting that

ensures preservation of frozen food

products is a temperature less than or

equal to -18°C.

Higher temperature setting inside the

appliance may lead to shorter shelf

life.

• The whole freezer compartment is

suitable for storage of frozen food

products.

• Leave enough space around the food

to allow air to circulate freely.

• For adequate storage refer to food

packaging label to see the shelf life of

food.

• It is important to wrap the food in such

a way that prevents water, humidity or

condensation from getting inside.

6.4 Shopping tips

After grocery shopping:

• Ensure that the packaging is not

damaged - the food could be

deteriorated. If the package is swollen

or wet, it might have not been stored

in the optimal conditions and

defrosting may have already started.

• To limit the defrosting process buy

frozen goods at the end of your

grocery shopping and transport them

in a thermal and insulated cool bag.

• Place the frozen foods immediately in

the freezer after coming back from the

shop.

• If food has defrosted even partially, do

not re-freeze it. Consume it as soon

as possible.

• Respect the expiry date and the

storage information on the package.

6.6 Hints for fresh food

refrigeration

• Good temperature setting that

ensures preservation of fresh food is

a temperature less than or equal to

+4°C.

Higher temperature setting inside the

appliance may lead to shorter shelf

life of food.

• Cover the food with packaging to

preserve its freshness and aroma.

• Always use closed containers for

liquids and for food, to avoid flavours

or odours in the compartment.

• To avoid the cross-contamination

between cooked and raw food, cover

the cooked food and separate it from

the raw one.

• It is recommended to defrost the food

inside the fridge.

• Do not insert hot food inside the

appliance. Make sure it has cooled

down at room temperature before

inserting it.

• To prevent food waste the new stock

of food should always be placed

behind the old one.

6.7 Hints for food refrigeration

• Fresh food compartment is the one

marked (on the rating plate) with .

• Meat (all types): wrap in a suitable

packaging and place it on the glass

shelf above the vegetable drawer.

Store meat for at most 1-2 days.

• Fruit and vegetables: clean thoroughly

(eliminate the soil) and place in a

special drawer (vegetable drawer).

• It is advisable not to keep the exotic

fruits like bananas, mangos, papayas

etc. in the refrigerator.

• Vegetables like tomatoes, potatoes,

onions, and garlic should not be kept

in the refrigerator.

• Butter and cheese: place in an airtight

container or wrap in an aluminium foil

or a polythene bag to exclude as

much air as possible.

• Bottles: close them with a cap and

place them on the door bottle shelf, or

(if available) on the bottle rack.

• In order to accelerate cooling down of

the goods, it is advisable to turn on

the fan. The activation of

DYNAMICAIR allows greater

homogenization of internal

temperatures.

• Always refer to the expiry date of the

products to know how long to keep

them.

7. CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

7.1 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.

www.electrolux.com16

CAUTION!

Do not use detergents,

abrasive powders, chlorine

or oil-based cleaners as they

will damage the finish.

CAUTION!

The accessories and parts of

the appliance are not

suitable for washing in a

dishwasher.

7.2 Periodic cleaning

7.3 Defrosting of the

refrigerator

Frost is automatically eliminated from the

evaporator of the refrigerator

compartment during normal use. 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.

For this purpose use the tube cleaner

provided with the appliance.

7.4 Defrosting of the freezer

The freezer compartment 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.
