If the freezer is sold or given to another user, or if you move and leave the freezer behind, you must ensure that the instructions accompany the freezer to enable the next user to use the freezer correctly and read the relevant warings. This freezer is only intended for the freezing and storage of food. This freezer should only be operated by adults. Children must not be allowed to tamper with the control buttons or play with the freezer. Changes in the electrical mains system in connection with the installation of this freezer should always be carried out by an authorised electrician or competent person. Do not under any circumstances attempt to repair the freezer yourself. Repairs carried out by untrained people may result in personal injury or serious malfunction of the freezer. Service of the freezer should be carried out by an authorised service company, and only original spare parts should be used. It is dangerous to alter the freezer specifications, or to change the freezer in any other way. Make sure that the freezer is not placed on top of the mains cable. Do not re-freeze food once it has been defrosted. Observe the recommendations for storage carefully. See under "Helpful Hints". This freezer includes components that are heated during operation. Consequently, adequate ventilation must always be provided. If ventilation is insufficient defects may occur, resulting in the loss of food. See under "Installation". Do not place drinks in the freezer. Bottles and cans containing carbonated liquid or sparkling drinks are particularly prone to explosion, which may damage the freezer. This freezer is heavy. Take care when moving it. If the freezer is fitted with a lock to prevent tampering by children, the key must always be kept safely out of the reach of children, and far away from the freezer. Before disposing of an old freezer, make sure that the lock (if present) no longer works. This is to prevent accidents and avoid the danger of children getting locked inside. Make sure the power plug is not squashed or damaged by the back of the freezer. A damaged power plug may overheat and cause a fire. 6 electrolux cold Do not place heavy articles or the freezer itself on the power cord. There is a risk of a short circuit and fire. - Do not remove the power cord by pulling on its lead, particularly when the freezer is being pulled out of its niche. - Damage to the cord may cause a short-circuit, fire and/or electric shock. - If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a certified service agent or qualified service personnel. If the power plug socket is loose, do not insert the power plug. There is a risk of electric shock or fire.

An evaporator cools the air in the interior space of the appliances, which is circulated and uniformly distributed by a fan. 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 throught the heat generated by the latter. Thus, the interior of the appliances and the stored cooled or frozen foodstuffs always remain fresh and icefree. Manual thawing/defrosting is not necessary. 8 electrolux cold Description of the appliance View of the appliance Ice cube maker Air outlets Ice cube maker holder Air inlets Cold module Lamp Basket Control panel electrolux cold 9 Installation Position Place the freezer horizontally on a firm surface, resting on all wheels. Use a wooden block or similar object to compensate for any bumps/holes in the surface. The room should be dry and adequately ventilated. Temperatures of the external environment have an impact on the energy consumption of the freezer. Therefore: - do not place the freezer in a position exposed to sunshine or beside a radiator oven, or any other source of heat. - position it where the temperature of the environment corresponds to the climatic classification for which the freezer was designed.
