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 into the lock.

In order to close the freezer, gently push the key into the

lock and turn it clockwise towards the symbol . In order to open the freezer, gently push the

key into the lock and turn it counter-clockwise towards

the symbol .

Spare keys are available from the local service center.

Keep the key out of reach of children.

Prior to disposing of your old freezer, remove the key from the lock.

Opening and closing the lid

As the lid is fitted with a tightly closing seal, it will not re- open easily immediatedly after closing.

Wait a few minutes before re-opening the lid. The valve will allow the lid to be re-opened easily. Never pull the handle with immense force.

Care and Cleaning

Defrosting the freezer

When the ice layer is 10-15 mm thick, the freezer should be defrosted. We suggest that you defrost your freezer when there is little or no food inside.

Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.

Remove the contents of the freezer, wrap them in newspapers, and keep them in a cold place.

Leave the appliance lid open.

Remove the plug from the water drain.

Spare baskets can be obtained from your local Service Force Centre or from the Electrolux website (depending on country). The illustrations on this page show how many baskets can be placed in the various freezer models.

The defrost water can be collected in a tray as shown in the drawing. If available, use the divider.

Speed up defrosting by using the enclosed scraper to detach the ice from the appliance walls.

Dry the interior of the appliance thoroughly.

Remember to replace the plug in the water drain.

Important! Never use a knife or any other sharp implement to remove frost or ice.

Cleaning

The best time to clean your freezer is after defrosting.

Disconnect the appliance from the power supply and remove all loose accessories.

Use a damp cloth to clean your freezer. Use hot water and a mild, non-aromatic detergent.

Clean the loose accessories, before replacing them again.

Important! Never use strong detergents, scouring powder or aromatic detergents to clean your freezer.

When not in use

Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.

Remove all food from the freezer.

Clean the freezer as described above.

Leave the lid slightly open.
