Replacing the gas cylinder

The replacement gas cylinder is obtained through your local dealer.
Cleaning the water dispenser
When necessary, clean the surfaces of the dispenser, using only a soft cloth and warm water.
The dispenser drip tray can be cleaned with a lukewarm water and some neutral soap. Lime deposits on the dispenser surface can removed using vinegar or diluted acetic acid as cleaning agent. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Cleaning the ventilation grille
The ventilation grille can be removed for washing.
Make sure the door is open and then:
1.Loosen the upper edge of the grille by pulling outward/downward.
2.Pull the grille straight out to completely remove it.
3.Vacuum clean under the cabinet.
Defrosting the refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of the refrigerator compartment every time the motor compressor stops, during normal use. The defrost water drains out through a drain hole into a special con- tainer at the back of the appliance, over the motor compressor, where it evaporates.
Periods of non-operation
When the water system is not use for a long period, turn off the water connection to the refrigerator.
When the appliance is not in use for long periods, take the following precautions:
1.disconnect the appliance from electrici- ty supply
2.remove all food
3.clean the appliance and all accessories
4.leave the door/doors open to prevent
unpleasant smells.
Before using the appliance again, rinse the system thoroughly by dispensing at least three litres (5 pints) of water.
•If necessary, the system can be cleaned by using a sanitizing kit which can be or- dered through Electrolux Service Force Centre or through our website www.elec- trolux.com.
Important! If the cabinet will be kept on, ask somebody to check it once in a while to prevent the food inside from spoiling in case of a power failure.
WHAT TO DO IF…
During operation of the appliance some smaller but annoying trouble can often oc- cur, which does not require calling a techni- cian out. In the following chart information is given about them to avoid unnecessary charges on service.
Important! The operation of the appliance goes with certain sounds (compressor and
circulating sound). This not means a trouble, but a normal operation.
Important! The appliance operates discontinuously, so the stopping of compressor does not mean being no current. That is why you must not touch the electrical parts of the appliance before breaking the circuit.
Problem
The appliance is noisy.
Possible cause
The appliance is not supported properly.
Solution
Check if the appliance stands sta- ble (all feet and wheels should be on the floor). Refer to "Levelling".
