6. HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
6.1 Hints for freezing
To help you make the most of the
freezing process, here are some hints:
• The maximum quantity of food which
can be frozen in 24 hours is shown on
the rating plate.
• The freezing process takes 24 hours.
No further food to be frozen should be
added during this period.
• Freeze only top quality, fresh and
thoroughly cleaned foodstuffs.
• Prepare food in small portions to
enable it to be rapidly and completely
frozen and to make it possible
subsequently to thaw only the quantity
required.
• Wrap up the food in aluminium foil or
polythene and make sure that the
packages are airtight.
• Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to
touch food which is already frozen,
thus avoiding a rise in temperature of
the latter.
www.electrolux.com8
• Lean foods store better and longer
than fatty ones; salt reduces the
storage life of food.
• Water ices, if consumed immediately
after removal from the freezer
compartment, can possibly cause the
skin to be freeze burnt.
• It is advisable to show the freezing in
date on each individual pack to
enable you to keep tab of the storage
time.
6.2 Hints for storage of frozen
food
To obtain the best performance from this
appliance, you should:
• make sure that the commercially
frozen foodstuffs were adequately
stored by the retailer;
• be sure that frozen foodstuffs are
transferred from the store to the
freezer in the shortest possible time;
• not open the lid frequently or leave it
open longer than absolutely
necessary.
• Once defrosted, food deteriorates
rapidly and cannot be refrozen.
• Do not exceed the storage period
indicated by the food manufacturer.
7. CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
7.1 Periodic cleaning
CAUTION!
Unplug the appliance before
carrying out any
maintenance operation.
Do not use detergents,
abrasive products, highly
perfumed cleaning products
or wax polishes to clean the
inner side of the appliance.

5. Switch on the appliance.
7.2 Defrosting the freezer
CAUTION!
Never use sharp metal tools
to scrape off frost as you
could damage the appliance.
Do not use a mechanical
device or any artificial
means to speed up the
thawing process other than
those recommended by the
manufacturer. A temperature
rise of the frozen food packs,
during defrosting, may
shorten their safe storage
life.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer
reaches a thickness of about 10-15 mm.
The amount of frost on the walls of the
appliance will be increased by the high
level of the outer environment humidity
and if the frozen food is not wrapped
properly.
ENGLISH 9

it contains no or only a little food.
1. Switch off the appliance.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in
several layers of newspaper and put
it in a cool place.

from the defrost water drain and
collect all defrost water on a tray.
4. When defrosting is completed, dry
the interior thoroughly and refit the
plug.
5. Switch on the appliance.
6. Set the temperature regulator to
obtain the maximum coldness and
run the appliance for two or three
hours using this setting.
7. Reload the previously removed food
into the compartment.
7.3 Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long
periods, take the following precautions:
