Electrolux U31462 operating instructions No-frost frost free system

The no-frost (frost free) system

•The appliance can be used as a freezing unit or as a refrigerator depen- ding on requirement. For this purpose, the operation mode "Freezing" or the operation mode "Cooling" can be selected on the appliance.

–In the operation mode "Freezing", the appliance is usable for freezing and deep-temperature storage with temperatures from -15 °C up to -24 °C.

–In the operation mode "Cooling", this appliance can be operated as a "long fresh" cooling unit with temperatures of 0 °C to +2 °C, whereby a dry cabinet interior climate is attained through the no- frost (frost-free) technology. The appliance can also be used in the adjustable temperature range of up to +16 °C as a chilled cupboard for food and drink. Naturally, it is also usable as a "normal" refrigerator for the temperature range of +2 °C to +5 °C.

•TURBO/FROSTMATIC can be selected depending on purpose and need.

–In the operation mode "Cooling", TURBO/FROSTMATIC is suitable for fast cooling larger quantities when in the refrigerator mode, e.g. for drinks or salads during a party. Thereby, a DESIRED temperature of +2 °C is automatically preset. After 6 hours have expired, the TURBO/FROSTMATIC function is terminated automatically.

–In the operation mode "Freezing", TURBO/FROSTMATIC caters for quick freezing of fresh foodstuffs and protects at the same time the foodstuff already stored against undesired temperature increase when in the freezer mode. The electronics of the appliance recognises automatically, when the quick freezing mode can be completed, and automatically switches off the TURBO/FROSTMATIC function. (Depending upon the quantity to be frozen after 30 up to maximum 51 hours).

•The no-frost (frost free) system enables both the freezing of fresh foodstuff as well as the storage of readily frozen foodstuff by cold air. An evaporator cools the air in the interior space of the appliance, which is circulated and uniformly distributed by a ventilator. This uniformly circulating air-flow creates a dry climate, low temperature fluctuations and low temperature differences in the entire appliance interior. The moisture in the air condenses as frost on the evaporator. The evaporator thaws/defrosts automatically, as soon as this is necessary. The melted water is drained off outside to the compressor and evaporates through the heat generated by the latter. Thus, the interior of the appliance and the stored cooled or frozen foodstuffs always remain fresh and ice-free. Manual thawing/defrosting is not necessary.
