IMPORTANT USER INFORMATION

It is most important that this instruction book should be retained with the appliance for future reference. Should the appliance be sold or transferred to another owner or should you move house and leave the appliance, always ensure that the book is supplied with the appliance in order that the new owner can be acquainted with the functioning of the appliance and the relevant warnings.

These warnings are provided in the interest of safety. You must read them carefully before installing or using the appliance.

This product is designed to be operated by adults. Children should not be allowed to tamper with the controls or play with the product.

Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician.

This product should be serviced by an authorised Electrolux Service Engineer, and only genuine Electrolux spare parts should be used.

Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance does not stand on the electrical supply cable.

Electrolux refrigerators are designed to be used specifically for the storage of edible foodstuffs only.

There are working parts in this product which heat up. Always ensure that there is adequate ventilation as a failure to do this will result in component failure and possible food loss. See installation instructions.

Parts which heat up should not be exposed. Wherever possible the back of the product should be close to a wall but leaving the required distance for ventilation as stated in the installation instructions.

Before defrosting, cleaning or maintenance work is carried out, be sure to switch off the appliance and unplug it.

The ice box in this appliance contains tubes through which the refrigerant passes. If these are punctured this would cause substantial damage and result in food loss. DO NOT USE SHARP INSTRUMENTS to scrape off frost or ice. Under no circumstances should solid ice be forced off the ice box. Solid ice should be allowed to thaw when defrosting the appliance. See defrost instructions.

The appliance should be left for 2 hours after installation before it is turned on in order to allow refrigerant to settle, unless it is of the absorption type in which case it can be turned on immediately.

This appliance is heavy. Care should be taken when moving it.

Ice lollies can cause frost burns if consumed straight from the freezer.

Frozen food must not be refrozen once it has thawed out.

Manufacturer's food storage recommendations should be strictly adhered to. Refer to relevant instructions.

Do not place carbonated of fizzy drinks in the freezer as is creates pressure on the container which may cause it to explode resulting in damage to the appliance.

Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or more serious malfunctioning. Refer to your local Electrolux Service Centre and always insist on genuine Electrolux spare parts.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

It's important that you read this handbook before installing and using your new refrigerator.

SAFETY NOTE: If this refrigerator is replacing a larger one which is going to be scrapped, remove the door before disposal to prevent children from becoming trapped inside.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

The refrigerator is equipped with an electrically heated absorption cooling unit which is virtually silent in operation. The fridge is designed for free-standing installation, but can be built-in if the following conditions are complied with to ensure satisfactory operation and maximum cooling efficiency.

1)The fridge must be level in both directions.

2)There must be an air duct at the back of the housing to provide sufficient air-flow over the cooling unit to carry away heat generated during the cooling process. The entire cooling unit should project into the duct and the air passing through the dust must not be pre-heated by radiators. T.V. sets or any other sources of heat.

Two refrigerators should not be built-in, one on top of the other, unless separate air ducts are provided for each.

3)When built-in, for future servicing requirements, it must be possible for the refrigerator to be easily removed, without damaging the fitment in which it is housed.

The illustrations on page 47 show 3 different ways of building-in the refrigerator.

With the refrigerator standing on a shelf - Figure 1

The opening at the back for the passage of air must be at least 105 mm deep. This can be achieved by using 105 mm opening immediately under the cooling unit. Alternatively, the shelf can be supported on battens at the sides, screwed to adjacent fitments, or on legs, leaving a completely unobstructed opening underneath the cooling unit for the full width of the refrigerator, allowing maximum air-flow.

If a ventilation grill is fitted at the top, it must have a free space of at least 200 cm2 for the ventilating air to escape.

With the refrigerator built into a housing - Figures 2 and 3.

The ventilation duct at the back of the recess must be at least 105 mm deep and extend the full width of the refrigerator - 425 mm minimum.

If the inlet and/or outlet openings at the bottom and top of the duct are fitted with decorative grilles, the free space through each grille must not be less than 200 cm2 so that the air-flow is not restricted.
