Starting the Refrigerator, Using the Fridge

Door hang and outer door panel

The chosen position for your fridge may make it preferable to change over the door hinges to reverse the door hang. To do this, refer to page 5.

If you wish, the outer door panel can be removed and replaced by another (not supplied by Electrolux) to match existing decor in your room instructions for doing this are also given on page 5.

Connecting to the mains

The refrigerator must only be connected to the electricity supply using an earthed socket outlet, installed in accordance with local regulations. Before connecting the refrigerator, check from the data label inside the cabinet that the voltage agree with your mains supply.

Plug connection (for United Kingdom only)

If a 3 pin 13 amp fused plug is used, it should be fitted with a 3 amp fuse; with other plug types, the circuit should contain a 5 am fuse.

This appliance conforms with the requirements of EEC Directive No. 89/336 relating to radio interference.

Warning - This appliance must be earthed.

MOULDED - ON PLUG

The mains lead is fitted with a non-rewirable moulded- on 13 amp plug containing a 3 amp fuse. If the fuse requires replacing at any time, the fuse cover/carrier should be removed using a small screwdriver to lever it out. The old fuse should be replaced by a 3 amp ASTA approved BS1362 fuse and the fuse cover/carrier must be refitted before the plug is used again.

If the fuse cover-carrier is lost, a replacement can be obtained from the Electrolux Service Shops. The fuse cover/carrier must be of the same colour as that of the coloured insert in the base of the plug. In no circumstances must the plug be used without a correct fuse cover/carrier fitted.

If the plug supplied on the mains lead is not suitable for the socket in your home, it should be cut off and disposed of safety, or destroyed, to avoid any possible shock hazard resulting from the plug being inserted into a 13 amp socket elsewhere in the house. A suitable replacement plug should then be fitted as given below.

IMPORTANT

The wires in the mains lead of this appliance are coloured in accordance with the following code:

GREEN-and-YELLOW : EARTH

BLUE: NEUTRAL

BROWN: LIVE

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows.

Connect the GREEN-and-YELLOW coloured wire to the

plug terminal marked letter E or earth symbol or coloured green or green-and-yellow.

Connect the BROWN coloured wire to the plug terminal marked letter L or coloured red.

Connect the BLUE coloured wire to the plug terminal marked letter N or coloured black.

STARTING THE REFRIGERATOR

To start the fridge, plug into the socket outlet, switch on, and turn the thermostat dial (inside the cabinet) to setting number 3 or 4. There will be signs of cooling in about an hour. Note that the fridge has an absorption type of cooling unit, which is virtually silent in operation. You will not therefore hear anything start up when the fridge is switched on.

On the Auto-Defrost versions there also will be signs of cooling after about one hour, unless by coincidence the time switch is at a defrost cycle when first switched on in which case 2 or 3 hours may elapse before cooling starts to take place.

The refrigerator temperature will be affected by location, room temperature, and frequency of door opening and adjustment of the thermostat dial may be needed to allow for this.

Temperature control

The temperature in the fridge is from 0° to 7°C and inside the frozen food storage compartment on model EA0600C/601C/602C/EA3200 is -12° or below, when you set the thermostat dial to 3 or 4, in normal ambient temperatures.

If colder temperatures are needed in the fridge turn the thermostat dial clockwise to a higher number: if less cooling is required, turn the dial anti-clockwise to a lower number.

USING THE FRIDGE

The fridge compartment provides suitable storage for most kinds of food, milk, drinks, etc and door shelves are provided in the 60 litre models for bottles, jars, and small packets.

Ideally, all foods should be in covered containers or plastic bags, or wrapped in foil

or plastic film. Liquids should also be covered. This is to prevent flavours passing from one item to another and also to reduce frost build-up on the cooling surfaces due to moisture coming from stored items.

Suggested storage times for fresh foods

Storage times will vary according to the type of food and how fresh it is when put into the fridge but no food should be stored for longer than the times stated below:

Suggested maximum storage times:
Type of food	Storage time
Uncooked fresh meat
poultry, beef and lamb	3-5 days
pork	2-4 days
sausages	3 days
mince & offal	1-2 days
