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, which is
stated on the label inside the refrigerator
compartment.
When the compartment light is
blown
Contact the service agent approved by
Electrolux to request a replacement com-
partment light. The compartment light is
not to be removed other than by qualifi ed

mould:
1.
Remove all food.
2.
Remove the power plug from the pow-
erpoint.
3.
Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.

Ensure that all the doors are wedged
open slightly for air circulation.
TROUBLESHOOTING
When the motor seems
to run more than
expected
Your new refrigerator 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? See “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
refrigerator.
• If the day is hot or the room is very warm, the refrigerator will need to
run more than normal.
• The refrigerator will run more that 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 refrigerator has enough clearance at the sides, back and
top. Refer to the installation Instructions at the front of this booklet.
Refer to “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 “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 droplets form
on the aluminium panel
This is normal as the panel is cooled from the rear, therefore indirectly
cooling the refrigerator compartment. It is normal for water droplets to
form on this panel under humid weather conditions.
