Spare baskets can be obtained from your local
Service Force Centre or from the Electrolux website
(depending on country). The illustrations on this page
show how many baskets can be placed in the various
freezer models.
Security lock
The freezer is equipped with a special lock in order to
avoid accidental locking. The lock is designed in such
manner that you can turn the key and thus close the
lid only if you previously push the key into the lock.
In order to close the freezer, gently push the key into
the lock and turn it clockwise towards the symbol
.
In order to open the freezer, gently push the key
into the lock and turn it counter-clockwise towards
the symbol
.
Spare keys are available from the local service center.
Keep the key out of reach of children.
Prior to disposing of your old freezer, remove the key
from the lock.
Opening and closing the lid
As the lid is fitted with a tightly closing seal, it will not
re-open easily immediatedly after closing.
Wait a few minutes before re-opening the lid. The
valve will allow the lid to be re-opened easily. Never
pull the handle with immense force.
Care and Cleaning
Defrosting the freezer
When the ice layer is 10-15 mm thick, the freezer
should be defrosted. We suggest that you defrost
your freezer when there is little or no food inside.
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
Remove the contents of the freezer, wrap them in
newspapers, and keep them in a cold place.
Leave the appliance lid open.
Remove the plug from the water drain.
The defrost water can be collected in a tray as
shown in the drawing. If available, use the divider.
Speed up defrosting by using the enclosed scraper
to detach the ice from the appliance walls.
Dry the interior of the appliance thoroughly.
Remember to replace the plug in the water drain.
Important!
Never use a knife or any other sharp
implement to remove frost or ice.
Cleaning
The best time to clean your freezer is after
defrosting.
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply
and remove all loose accessories.
Use a damp cloth to clean your freezer. Use hot
water and a mild, non-aromatic detergent.
Clean the loose accessories, before replacing
them again.
Important!
Never use strong detergents, scouring
powder or aromatic detergents to clean your
freezer.
When not in use
Disconnect the appliance from the power
supply.
Remove all food from the freezer.
Clean the freezer as described above.
Leave the lid slightly open.
Changing the light bulb
Disconnect the appliance from the power
supply.
Unscrew the bulb, and replace it with a new bulb
(max. 15W).
Plug in the appliance.
Helpful hints and tips
Freezing food
Before freezing, fresh food must be packed in
airtight and moisture-proof packaging to prevent
it from drying out.
Only use fresh food of the best quality.
Always leave hot food to cool to room
termperature before placing in the freezer.
Divide food into small portions before freezing;
this ensures that freezing is more rapid, and that
you only need to defrost the amount needed for
immediate consumption.
Mark the freezer packaging with the date of
freezing.
Place fresh food for freezing close to the cold
sides of the freezer, making sure that it is not in
contact with the frozen food already in the
freezer.
Frozen food can be stored anywhere inside the
freezer, but should be kept at least 5 mm below
the upper edge.
