Electrolux ECN 4157 How To Use, Control Panel, Switching On, Electrical Requirements, Freezing

GB

Please ensure that when the appliance is installed it is easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a breakdown.

SWITCHING ON (2)

Before switching on, the freezer should be cleaned inside. See under “Maintenance”.

Set the thermostat button in middle position. Allow the freezer to run for several hours before placing food inside.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

Before switching on, make sure that the voltage of your electricity supply is the same as that indicated on the rating plate, located inside the lid.

this appliance complies with the following EC Directives:

-73/23/EEC of 19. 02. 1973 - Low-Voltage Directive

-89/336/EEC of 03. 05. 1989 (including Amendment Directive 92/31/EEC - EMC Directive.

Some of the models are not available in all countries. Testing has been carried out in accordance with ISO 5155 regarding the determination of freezer capacity, energy consumption and hold-overtime.

Information for test institute: A plan of the positioning of test packages may be obtained directly from the manufacturer.

HOW TO USE

TEMPERATURE CONTROL (3)

The thermostat ensures that the required temperature is maintained in the freezer. Adjust the temperature by turning the button with a coin that fits the groove. Turning the thermostat button towards „MAX” makes the temperature in the freezer colder, and turning the button towards „min” makes the temperature warmer. The correct setting can be found by measuring the temperature of the top package in the middle of the freezer. This should

not have a temperature higher than -18°C.

OPENING/CLOSING THE LID

The lid is fitted with a tightly closing sealing strip to prevent moisture getting inside the freezer and

increasing the amount of frost formed.

When the lid is opened the air inside the freezer becomes slightly warmer and expands.

As soon as the lid is closed again the air is cooled immediately.

This may lead to the creation of a vacuum which makes it hard to open the lid immediately after it has been closed. This is quite normal.

Wait a few minutes until the vacuum has disappeared, then open the lid by pulling gently. Never pull the handle violently.

CONTROL PANEL (4)

The green light is illuminated as long as the freezer is connected.

The yellow light is illuminated when the “Super” button is depressed. See under “Freezing”.

The red light is illuminated when the temperature in the freezer is higher than the thermostat setting (alarm).

5.“SUPER”

The red alarm light can be due to:

Insertion of a large amount of fresh food. The red alarm light will go out after a while.

Opening the lid too long. The red alarm light will go out after a while.

A defect in the system. See under “If something does not work”.

FREEZING

It is important that fresh food placed in the freezer is frozen quickly, and that the food already in the freezer is heated as little as possible in this connection.

If more than 3-4 kg of food is to be frozen:

Press the square “Super” button (yellow light comes on). The freezer will now run continuously, creating a sufficient reserve of the temperature required.

Press the “Super” button 6-24 hours before placing fresh food in the freezer, depending on how much food is to be frozen.

Place the food in the freezer and leave the “Super” button on for about 24 hours more.

Then press the “Super” button again (yellow light goes off). The freezer will return to normal storage temperature. If you forget to press the “Super” button again, the freezer will not be damaged by running at the “Super” setting for some time - but energy will be wasted.

HOW TO USE

PACKAGING AND POSITIONING

Food must be cold before freezing (no more than room temperature).

Food must be packed in airtight and moisture-proof packaging to prevent it from drying out.

Place fresh food for freezing close to the cold sides of the freezer, making sure that it is not in contact with the frozen food already in the freezer.

Never fill the freezer to more than 5 mm below the top edge.

See under “Helpful hints”.

CAPACITY (5)

The freezing capacity of the freezer is stated in the data plate (kg/24 hours). Do not exceed the amount stated - if you do, the freezing time will be extended. The data plate is located inside the lid.

IMPORTANT

The freezing capacity stated can be utilised to the full occasionally to freeze large amounts of fresh food. However, if the freezer is filled with large
