7. HINTS AND TIPS
7.1 Hints for energy saving
· Freezer: The internal configuration of the appliance is the one that ensures
the most efficient use of energy.
· Fridge: Most efficient use of energy is ensured in the configuration with
the drawers in the bottom part of the appliance and shelves evenly
distributed. Position of the door bins does not affect energy consumption.
· Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than necessary.
ENGLISH 17
putting the products in the compartment let the appliance run at least 3 hours
with the Extra Freeze function switched on.
CAUTION! In the event of accidental defrosting, for example due to a power
failure, if the power has been off for longer than the value shown on rating
plate under “rising time”, the defrosted food must be consumed quickly or
cooked immediately then cooled and then re-frozen.
6.11 Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in the
refrigerator compartment or at room temperature, depending on the time
available for this operation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly from the freezer: in
this case, cooking will take longer.
6.12 Ice-cube tray
This appliance is equipped with one or more trays for the production of
icecubes.
Do not use metallic instruments to remove the trays from the freezer
compartment.
1. Fill the ice-cube trays with water. 2. Put them in the freezer
compartment.
· Freezer: The colder the temperature setting, the higher the energy
consumption.
· Fridge: Do not set too high temperature to save energy unless it is required
by the characteristics of the food.
· If the ambient temperature is high and the temperature control is set to low
temperature and the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may run
continuously, causing frost or ice formation on the evaporator. In this case,
set the temperature control
18 www.electrolux.com
toward higher temperature to allow automatic defrosting and to save energy
this way. · Ensure a good ventilation. Do not cover the ventilation grilles or
holes. · Make sure that food products inside the appliance allow air
circulation through dedicated holes in the rear interior of the appliance.
7.2 Hints for freezing
· Activate Extra Freeze function at least 3 hours before placing the food
inside the freezer compartment.
· Before freezing wrap and seal fresh food in: aluminium foil, plastic film or
bags, airtight containers with lid.
· For more efficient freezing and thawing divide food into small portions.
· It is recommended to put labels and dates on all your frozen food. This will
help to identify foods and to know when they should be used before their
deterioration.
· The food should be fresh when being frozen to preserve good quality.
Especially fruits and vegetables should be frozen after the harvest to
preserve all of their nutrients.
· Do not freeze bottles or cans with liquids, in particular drinks containing
carbon dioxide – they may explode during freezing.
· Do not put hot food in the freezer compartment. Cool it down at room
temperature before placing it inside the compartment.
· To avoid increase in temperature of already frozen food, do not place fresh
unfrozen food directly next to it. Place food at room temperature in the part
of the freezer compartment where there is no frozen food.
· Do not eat ice cubes, water ices or ice lollies immediately after taking
them out of the freezer. Risk of frostbites.
· Do not re-freeze defrosted food. If the food has defrosted, cook it, cool it
down and then freeze it.
7.3 Hints for storage of frozen food
· Freezer compartment is the one
marked with
.
· Good temperature setting that
ensures preservation of frozen food
products is a temperature less than or
equal to -18°C.
Higher temperature setting inside the
appliance may lead to shorter shelf
life.
· The whole freezer compartment is
suitable for storage of frozen food
products.
· Leave enough space around the food
to allow air to circulate freely.
· For adequate storage refer to food

food.
· It is important to wrap the food in such
a way that prevents water, humidity or
condensation from getting inside.
7.4 Shopping tips
After grocery shopping:
· Ensure that the packaging is not damaged – the food could be deteriorated.
If the package is swollen or wet, it might have not been stored in the optimal
conditions and defrosting may have already started.
· To limit the defrosting process buy frozen goods at the end of your grocery
shopping and transport them in a thermal and insulated cool bag.
· Place the frozen foods immediately in the freezer after coming back from the
shop.
· If food has defrosted even partially, do not re-freeze it. Consume it as
soon as possible.
· Respect the expiry date and the storage information on the package.

7.6 Hints for fresh food refrigeration
· Good temperature setting that ensures preservation of fresh food is a
temperature less than or equal to +4°C. Higher temperature setting inside the
appliance may lead to shorter shelf life of food.
· Cover the food with packaging to preserve its freshness and aroma.
· Always use closed containers for liquids and for food, to avoid flavours or
odours in the compartment.
· To avoid the cross-contamination between cooked and raw food, cover the
cooked food and separate it from the raw one.
· It is recommended to defrost the food inside the fridge.
· Do not insert hot food inside the appliance. Make sure it has cooled
down at room temperature before inserting it. · To prevent food waste the new
stock of food should always be placed behind the old one.
7.7 Hints for food refrigeration
· Fresh food compartment is the one
