Clearance around your refrigerator

Before you move your refrigerator into the place where it will operate, check that it will have adequate clearance. Clearance is required for air circulation and too little clearance may affect your refrigerator’s performance. Please note: Doors are designed to sit proud (not flush of cabinetry).

We recommend airspace clearances of:

•30mm on each side

•50mm behind the refrigerator

If you do not have a cupboard with a rear gap, the recommended clearance area on top increases from 50mm to 90mm (x).

	50mm		(Rear gap)
30mm		30mm
	Recommended		(x)
	airspace
	CABINET
	DOOR

Note:

The clearances shown above are the recommended minimum clearances. The clearance at the rear must not exceed 75mm.

Left hand opening door kit

If you require a refrigerator that opens to the left rather than the right, please ensure you have a kit (AREX01WA) to do so. If it has not been supplied with this product, it can be obtained by contacting your Electrolux Customer Care Centre (the numbers can be found on the back page). Instructions on how to change the door opening options are contained within the kit.

before using your new refrigerator

Clean your refrigerator thoroughly following the instructions and wipe off any dust that has accumulated during shipping.

Check that the floor is level. If it is not, then adjust the provided levelling leg so product is level and stable. We recommend that you let your refrigerator run for two to three hours before you put any food in it. This will allow you to check that it is operating properly and that enough cool air is going to the freezer.

Initial Start up

Note that during operation the outside of the refrigerator will feel warm, particularly at initial start up. This is normal. Avoid placing food against air outlets, as this will affect air circulation.

A light frosting will occasionally occur on the cold interior of the freezer when the door is opened frequently. This is normal and will disappear after a few days in most climates.

Make sure you fully close the freezer and fresh food doors after you load or remove food from these compartments. If the doors are left partly open, a heavy frost will coat the inside of the freezer. If a frost develops remove it. Take care to properly close the doors and the frost will not reoccur. Your refrigerator uses energy efficient components that may produce different noises to your old refrigerator. Occasionally a gurgling sound of refrigerant flowing or the sound of parts expanding and contracting can be heard. These noises are quite normal.

cleaning your refrigerator

Exterior

You should only clean your refrigerator with lukewarm soapy water and a soft cloth. Rinse with clean water and then wipe the surface with a soft clean cloth to remove any soap residue.

Interior

You should clean the refrigerator interior regularly. Wash the interior with a soft cloth and lukewarm soapy water. Thoroughly dry all surfaces and removable parts. Avoid getting water on refrigerator controls. If you have taken out any removable parts, replace them and switch the power on before restocking the refrigerator with food. Naturally, you should keep the interior of your refrigerator hygienic by promptly and thoroughly wiping up any food spills.

Keep the door seals clean

Take care to keep door seals clean. Sticky food and drink can cause seals to stick to the cabinet and tear when you open the door. Wash seal with lukewarm soapy water.

Rinse thoroughly and dry.
