Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance does not stand on the electrical supply cable Electrolux refrigerators are designed to be used specifically for the storage of edible foodstuffs only There are working parts in this product which heat up Always ensure that there is adequate ventilation as a failure to do this will result in component failure and possible food loss See installation instructions Parts which heat up should not be exposed Wherever possible the back of the product should be close to a wall but leaving the required distance for ventilation as stated in the installation instructions Before defrosting cleaning or maintenance work is carried out be sure to switch off the appliance and unplug it The ice box in this appliance contains tubes through which the refrigerant passes If these are punctured this would cause substantial damage and result in food loss DO NOT USE SHARP INSTRUMENTS to scrape off frost or ice Under no circumstances should solid ice be forced off the ice box Solid ice should be allowed to thaw when defrosting the appliance See defrost instructions The appliance should be left for 2 hours after installation before it is turned on in order to allow refrigerant to settle unless it is of the absorption type in which case it can be turned on immediately This appliance is heavy Care should be taken when moving it Ice lollies can cause frost burns if consumed straight from the freezer

There will be signs of cooling in about an hour Note that the fridge has an absorption type of cooling unit which is virtually silent in operation You will not therefore hear anything start up when the fridge is switched on On the Auto Defrost versions there also will be signs of cooling after about one hour unless by coincidence the time switch is at a defrost cycle when first switched on in which case 2 or 3 hours may elapse before cooling starts to take place The refrigerator temperature will be affected by location room temperature and frequency of door opening and adjustment of the thermostat dial may be needed to allow for this Temperature control The temperature in the fridge is from 0 to 7 C and inside the frozen food storage compartment on model 0600 601 602 200 is 12 or below when you set the thermostat dial to 3 or 4 in normal ambient temperatures If colder temperatures are needed in the fridge turn the thermostat dial clockwise to a higher number if less cooling is required turn the dial anti clockwise to a lower number USING THE FRIDGE The fridge compartment provides suitable storage for most kinds of food milk drinks etc and door shelves are provided in the 60 litre models for bottles jars and small packets Ideally all foods should be in covered containers or plastic bags or wrapped in foil or plastic film Liquids should also be covered This is to prevent flavours passing
