the Temperature regulator towards
.
• to obtain the maximum coldness, turn
the Temperature regulator towards
.
A medium setting is
generally the most suitable.
However, the exact setting
should be chosen keeping in
mind that the temperature
inside the appliance
depends on:
• room temperature
• how often the lid is
opened
• the quantity of food
stored
• the location of the
appliance.

WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
4.1 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 (refer to "FastFreeze
function").
The maximum amount of food that can
be frozen in 24 hours is specified on the
rating plate (refer to "Technical data").
The freezing process lasts 24 hours:
during this period do not add other food
to be frozen.
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 on the higher settings.
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
in the technical
characteristics chart under
"rising time", the defrosted
food must be consumed
quickly or cooked
immediately and then re-
frozen (after cooling).
4.3 Opening and closing the lid
CAUTION!
Never pull the handle with
immense force.
As the lid is equipped with a tightly
closing seal, it is not easy to reopen it
shortly after closing (due to the vacuum
formed inside). Wait for few minutes
before reopening the appliance.
The vacuum valve will help you to open
the lid.
4.4 Security lock
The freezer is equipped with a special
lock in order to avoid accidental locking.
The lock is designed in such manner that
you can turn the key and thus close the
lid only if you previously push the key

the local Authorised Service
Centre.
WARNING!
Keep the keys well away
from children.
Make sure to remove the
key from the lock before you
discard the old appliance.
ENGLISH 7
4.5 Low frost system
The appliance is equipped with Low frost
system (you can see a valve inside the
freezer in the backside) what reduces
ice-build-up in the chest freezer by up to
80 percent.
4.6 Freezing Calendar
The symbols show different types of
frozen goods.
The numbers indicate storage times in
months for the appropriate types of
frozen goods. Whether the upper or
lower value of the indicated storage time
is valid depends on the quality of the
foods and treating before freezing.
4.7 Storage baskets
Hang the baskets on the upper edge of
the freezer (A) or place them inside the
freezer (B). Turn and fix the handles for
these two positions as shown in the
picture.

5. HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
5.1 Hints for freezing
To help you make the most of the
freezing process, here are some hints:
• The maximum quantity of food which
can be frozen in 24 hours is shown on
the rating plate.
• The freezing process takes 24 hours.
No further food to be frozen should be
added during this period.
• Freeze only top quality, fresh and
thoroughly cleaned foodstuffs.
• Prepare food in small portions to
enable it to be rapidly and completely
frozen and to make it possible
subsequently to thaw only the quantity
required.
• Wrap up the food in aluminium foil or
polythene and make sure that the
packages are airtight.
• Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to
touch food which is already frozen,
thus avoiding a rise in temperature of
the latter.
• Lean foods store better and longer
than fatty ones; salt reduces the
storage life of food.
• Water ices, if consumed immediately
after removal from the freezer
compartment, can possibly cause the
skin to be freeze burnt.
• It is advisable to show the freezing in
date on each individual pack to
enable you to keep tab of the storage
time.
www.electrolux.com8
5.2 Hints for storage of frozen
food
To obtain the best performance from this
appliance, you should:
• make sure that the commercially
frozen foodstuffs were adequately
stored by the retailer;
• be sure that frozen foodstuffs are
transferred from the store to the
freezer in the shortest possible time;
• not open the lid frequently or leave it
open longer than absolutely
necessary.
• Once defrosted, food deteriorates
rapidly and cannot be refrozen.
• Do not exceed the storage period
indicated by the food manufacturer.
6. CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
6.1 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,
abrasive powders, chlorine
or oil-based cleaners as they
will damage the finish.
6.2 Periodic cleaning
CAUTION!
Unplug the appliance before
carrying out any
maintenance operation.
Do not use detergents,
abrasive products, highly
perfumed cleaning products
or wax polishes to clean the
inner side of the appliance.
Prevent damage to the
cooling system.
There is no need to clean
the compressor area.
1. Switch off the appliance.
2. Regularly clean the appliance and
the accessories with warm water and
neutral soap.

3. Fully dry the appliance.
4. Connect the mains plug to the mains
socket.
5. Switch on the appliance.
6.3 Defrosting the freezer
CAUTION!
Never use sharp metal tools
to scrape off frost as you
could damage the appliance.
Do not use a mechanical
device or any artificial
means to speed up the
thawing process other than
those recommended by the
manufacturer. A temperature
rise of the frozen food packs,
during defrosting, may
shorten their safe storage
life.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer
reaches a thickness of about 10-15 mm.
The amount of frost on the walls of the
appliance will be increased by the high
level of the outer environment humidity
and if the frozen food is not wrapped
properly.
The best time to defrost the freezer when
it contains no or only a little food.
1. Switch off the appliance.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in
several layers of newspaper and put
it in a cool place.
3. Leave the lid open , remove the plug
from the defrost water drain and
collect all defrost water on a tray.
ENGLISH 9
4. When defrosting is completed, dry
the interior thoroughly and refit the
plug.
5. Switch on the appliance.
6. Set the temperature regulator to
obtain the maximum coldness and
run the appliance for two or three
hours using this setting.
7. Reload the previously removed food
into the compartment.
6.4 Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long
periods, take the following precautions:
1. Switch off the appliance and
disconnect the appliance from
electricity supply.
2. Remove all food
3. Defrost and clean the appliance and
all accessories.

l'appareil dépend de
plusieurs facteurs :
• la température ambiante
• la fréquence d'ouverture
du couvercle
• la quantité d'aliments
stockés
• l'emplacement de
l'appareil.
3.5 Alarme haute température
Une augmentation de la température
dans le congélateur (par exemple en
