Deodoriser
Your refrigerator is fitted with a deodoriser to assist with the
removal of food odours inside your refrigerator. Keeping
the food covered and wrapping it in plastic will also help to
reduce the odours inside your refrigerator.
Deodoriser
This section tells you how to make the most of the many
useful features of the refrigerator and how to clean them.
You can adjust the refrigerator bins to meet different
storage needs.
Door storage bins
The Refrigerator has door storage bins. You can adjust the
refrigerator bins to meet different storage needs. All the
door bins are completely removable for cleaning. If you
want to remove or adjust a bin, lift and tilt to remove. To
replace, tilt the top and push bin down until the support
lugs lock it in place.
Store safe compartment (where fitted)
You can use this compartment to store food and other
items. To operate lock, push up to open and down to lock.
Crisper bin
Storing vegetables
Use the crisper bin to store vegetables, fruits or small items.
You can adjust the humidity inside the bin by sliding the
humidity control.
Storing fruits and small items
You can store fruits in the crisper bin, but do remember
to lower the humidity via the humidity control. The
humidity can be adjusted by the sliding the lever on
the humidity control.
Humidity control
If you think something may be wrong with your refrigerator,
you can carry out some easy checks before calling for
service. You may locate the problem, sparing yourself from
inconvenience, saving time and money.
PROBLEM SOLUTION
When your
appliance is
not operating
• Check that the power cord is plugged into
the power outlet properly and that the
outlet is switched ‘ON’.
• Try running another appliance from the
power outlet. If no power is coming from
the outlet you may have blown a fuse or
tripped a circuit of your household
power supply.
• Try adjusting the temperature control to a
slightly “colder” position.
• It is normal for the freezer fan NOT to
operate during the automatic defrost
cycle, or for a short time after the
appliance is switched on.
When there is
refrigerator/
freezer noise
Modern refrigerators/freezers with
increased storage capacity use high
speed compressors. These can provide
a seemingly high level of sound which is
quite normal. Normal operational sounds
include:
• Occasional gurgling, similar to
water boiling.
• Air flow noise (air circulates because of a
small fan).
• A popping noise heard during
automatic defrost.
Other strange sounds may mean that
you need to check and take action. For
example, noises may mean that:
• The cabinet is not level.
• The floor is uneven or weak.
• Bottles are badly placed and rattling.
• There are vibrations from an object on
top of or behind or beside the refrigerator.
• The back of the refrigerator cabinet is
touching the wall.
Remember it is quite normal for noise to
seem louder when the refrigerator starts
operating, or during quieter periods such as
night time.
If there are
odours inside
the appliance
• The interior may need cleaning.
• Some foods produce odours.
• Some containers and wrapping can cause
odours.
• Ask yourself if the odour started about
the same time you started storing
something unusual.
PROBLEM SOLUTION
When the
motor seems
to run more
than expected
Your new appliance provides you with large
capacities in both the refrigerator section
and the separate freezer. It is normal for the
motor to operate frequently. However, to
keep operation to a minimum, check
the following:
• Are doors kept open too long or
too often?
• Are controls set too cold? Refer to page 7
“Controlling temperature”.
• Have large amounts of warm food just
recently been stored? Summer, festive
seasons and holidays usually mean a lot
more work for your appliance.
• If the day is hot or the room is very warm,
the appliance will need to run more
than normal.
• The appliance will run more than normal
just after you install it or when it has been
turned off for a long time.
If the
temperature
in the
refrigerator is
too warm
• Check that the appliance has enough
clearance at the sides, back and top.
Refer to page 5 “Installing your
new appliance”.
• Refer to page 7
“Controlling temperature”.
• You may have kept the door open too
long or too frequently.
• Food containers or packaging may be
holding a door open.
If the
temperature
in the
refrigerator is
too cold
• Refer to page 7
“Controlling temperature”.
• Increase the temperature to avoid high
energy consumption.
If heavy
frosting occurs
in the freezer
Make sure you fully close the freezer and
fridge doors. If the doors are left partly
open a heavy frost will coat the inside of the
freezer. If a frost develops, remove it. Take
care to properly close the doors and the
frost will not reoccur.
If water drips
on the floor
The defrost water tray, (located on the
compressor at the back of the cabinet), may
not be properly positioned, or the drain
tube may not be properly positioned to
direct water into this tray. You may need to
pull the refrigerator away from the wall to
check the tray and tube.
When
temperature
is hot/warm
on the outside
and rear
side of the
refrigerator
In normal operation, the refrigerator
transfers heat from inside to outside of the
cabinet. It is normal for the side and rear
of the refrigerator to feel warm/ hot while
operating. This will be more noticeable
during start up and hot ambient conditions.
TROUBLESHOOTINGFEATURES
If you still require service
If you have a problem, and the problem persists after you have made the checks mentioned above, contact your
nearest Electrolux approved Service Centre or the dealer you bought the refrigerator from. Be ready to quote
the model number, 9-digit PNC and 8-digit serial number, which is stated on the label inside the refrigerator
compartment.
