Installing your new refrigerator

Clearance around your refrigerator
Your Side Side Refrigerator can be installed between cupboards or fixtures but you must consider the following spaces around the cabinet:

1. Allow a minimum of 50mm clearance on both sides.
2. Allow 50mm clearance at the back of the refrigerator.
3. Allow 20mm clearance above the hinge covers.
4. Allow a 339 or 382mm clearance on the hinge side of the doors, if you place the refrigerator next to the wall. This will make cleaning easier.
5. Make sure that cupboards or fixtures do not stick out further than the refrigerator cabinet.
   Note: Refrigerator doors on all models are designed to sit proud of cabinetry (not fl ush).

Installing your refrigerator
The appliance should arrive with the stability foot wound fully up so it will not interfere with the operation of the rollers (see diagram in Step 3 below).

caution: The rollers are designed for forward or backward movement only. They are not castors. Moving the refrigerator sideways may damage your fl oor and the rollers.

1. Roll the refrigerator into its fi nal position.

2. The top of the refrigerator should be tilted back by approximately 20mm. This will allow the doors to self-close providing a consistent door seal and stability when the doors are open.

3. When you have the appliance in its fi nal position, it needs to be stabilized Wind the stability foot down to the fl oor until it just makes contact with the fl oor. Whenever you need to move the appliance, be sure to wind the foot back up so that the appliance can roll freely and be sure to reset it when reinstalling. ( The wrench opening size 30mm )

4. Check the alignment of the refrigerator to the surrounding cupboards. The top of the re should be on the refrigerator same level from side to side (see diagram below).
   If you need to adjust the level, use the adjustable rollers as discussed in Step 3.

5. If the refrigerator rocks from one corner to the opposite rear corner, this means that the floor is uneven; you will need to put some packing under one of the rear rollers. You could use thin pieces of solid material, such as thin board, vinyl fl oor tiles or laminate. Place the packing so that it will sit under one of the rear rollers when the refrigerator is rolled into position.

6. You may now need to fine-tune the installation by repeating Steps 3, 4, and 5.

7. Whenever you need to move the refrigerator, be sure to wind the foot back up so that the refrigerator can roll freely.

8. Clean your refrigerator thoroughly following the instructions on page 9 and wipe off any dust that was accumulated during shipping.

9. Leave standing in a stable upright position for 2-3 hours before turning “on”.

10. Plug the refrigerator into the powerpoint. Don’t use a double adaptor. If you need to roll the refrigerator out to get at the power point, remember to raise the stability foot before you do so.

11. We recommend that you let your refrigerator run for two to three hours before you put any food in it. It will allow you to check that it is operating properly.

Your new refrigerator has been supplied with protective plastic film on the doors and cabinet, you can choose to remove this film as needed.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed your new refrigerator.

caution: Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure clear of obstruction.

Refrigerator Operation

• The refrigerator transfers heat from food placed inside the appliance to the outside air.
• This process makes the rear, the sides, and the area adjacent to the doors, particularly at initial start-up, feel warm to hot, this is normal.
• There is a cooling coil located behind the rear wall of the cabinet. This coil cools and removes moisture from the air. A fan then circulates cold, dry air throughout the cabinet.
• This air circulation means that food is refrigerated far more quickly than in refrigerators where the air remains relatively static.
• Avoid placing food against air outlets as this will affect air circulation.
• A light frosting may occasionally occur on the cold interior of the freezer when the door is opened frequently. This is normal and will disappear after a few days in most climates.

Make sure you fully close the freezer door after you load or remove food. If the door is left partly open, a heavy frost will coat the inside of the freezer. If a frost develops, remove it. Ensure to properly close the door, so the frost will not reoccur.
Your new energy client appliance uses a high-speed compressor and other energy client components that may produce different noises from your old appliance.

These sounds are normal and include:

• compressor running noise.
• air movement noise from the small fan motor.
• occasional gurgling, similar to water boiling.
• a popping noise, heard during automatic defrosting.
• a clicking noise, just prior to the compressor starting up.

These noises are normal and will not cause the unit to alarm.

• Tempe mature Control

The factory default settings;

• Refrigerator = 5°c Freezer = -18°c

If you want to change the temperature, follow the instructions in the section about the user interface for your model. Ensure that you make only small adjustments and wait 24 hours to see if it’s correct to your liking.
Note : When you set a temperature, you set an average temperature for the whole refrigerator cabinet.

• Checking the softness of ice cream is a good indication that your freezer is in the right period checking
  the temperature of water kept in the refrigerator is a good way of checking the temperature of the food compartment.

• The temperature inside each compartment may vary, depending on how much food you store and where you place i t.

• High or low room temperature may also affect the actual temperature inside the refrigerator.

caution
Do not use stainless steel cleaners, abrasive pads, or other cleaners as they are likely to scratch the surface. Damage to this product after delivery is not covered by your warranty.

Interior
You should clean the appliance interior regularly. It will be easiest to clean when the food supply is low. Wash the interior with a soft cloth and use an unscented mild soap with lukewarm water. Thoroughly dry all surfaces and removable parts. Avoid getting water on appliance controls. If you have taken out any removable parts, replace them and switch the power on before re- stocking the appliance with food. Naturally, you should keep the interior of your appliance hygienic by promptly and thoroughly wiping up any food spills.

Door seals

Energy consumption

The following guide will help you reduce the running cost of your new refrigerator. This will save you money and help conserve our valuable energy resources.

1. Do not block air vents. Doing so may cause the refrigerator to run longer and use more energy.
2. Do not set your freezer temperature too low. After 24 hours, ice cream should be firm but able to be scooped out with a spoon without bending the handle. If ice cream is firmer than this (or too soft), adjust the freezer temperature controls (see ‘Set Temperature’, page 7).
3. Ensure that the refrigerator doors seal properly as you close them.
4. Before you open the refrigerator doors, decide what you want to put in or take out. This will minimize the time you have the doors open.
5. It is best to have the refrigerator in a place that is out of direct sunlight and away from heating appliances of any kind. For example, do not place the refrigerator next to a cooker, stove or dishwasher.
6. Allow hot foods to cool to room temperature before you put them in your freezer.
7. Thaw frozen foods in the refrigerator section.
8. If you keep the freezer compartment filled, your food mass will help maintain the freezer temperature when you open the door.

Turning o˜ the refrigerator

• If you are leaving for a short holiday, there is no need to turn o° your refrigerator.

If you are going on a long holiday and want to turn the refrigerator off, follow the steps below.

1. Take all the food out of the refrigerator and freezer compartments.
2. Switch o° the refrigerator and remove the electric cord from the powerpoint.
3. Clean the inside.
4. Leave the doors open. This prevents bacteria from growing and causing smells in the refrigerator.

Troubleshooting

If you think something may be wrong with your refrigerator, you can carry out some easy checks before calling for service. You may locate the problem, sparing yourself from inconvenience and saving time and money.

plugged into the power outlet properly and that the outlet is switched ‘ON’.
•  Try running another appliance from the power outlet. If no power is coming from the outlet you may have blown a fuse or tripped a circuit of your household power supply.
•  Try adjusting the temperature control to a slightly “colder” position.
•   It is normal for the freezer fan NOT to operate during the automatic defrost cycle, or for a short time after the appliance is switched on.
When there

is refrigerator/ freezer noise

| Modern refrigerators/freezers with increased storage capacity use high speed compressors. These can provide a seemingly high level of sound which is quite normal. Normal operational sounds include:

•   Occasional gurgling, similar to water boiling.

•   Air flow noise (air circulates because of a small fan).

•   A popping noise heard during automatic defrost.

Other strange sounds may mean that you need to check and take action. For example, noises may mean that:

•  The cabinet is not level.

•  The floor is uneven or weak.

•   Bottles are badly placed and rattling.

•  There are vibrations from an object on top of or behind or beside the refrigerator.

•  The back of the refrigerator cabinet is touching the wall.

Remember it is quite normal for noise to seem louder when the refrigerator starts operating, or during quieter periods such as night time.
If there are

odours inside the appliance

| •  The interior may need cleaning.
•  Some food  produce odours.
•   Some containers and wrapping can cause odours.
•   Ask yourself if the odour started about the same time you started storing something unusual.
When the motor seems to run more than expected| Your new appliance 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? refer to “Using the control panel” for how to adjust.

•   Have large amounts of warm food just recently been stored? Summer, festive seasons and holidays usually mean a lot more work for your appliance.

•   If the day is hot or the room is very warm, the appliance will need to run more than normal.
•  The appliance will run more t han 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 cold| •   Refer to “Using the control panel” for how to adjust.
•   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. Make sure properly close the doors and the frost will not

reoccur.

If water drips on the floor| The defrost water tray, (located at the back of the cabinet), may not be properly positioned, or the drain tube may not be properly positioned to direct water into this tray. You may need to pull the refrigerator away from the wall to check the tray and tube.
The Freezer Door opens after closing the fridge door| It is normal for the freezer door to momentarily open and re-close when the food compartment door is closed. If the freezer door stays open, it indicates that the refrigerator cabinet needs to be tilted backwards a little further.

If you call a service person to solve this problem, you will be charged for the cost of a service call, as this is not a warranty fault.

When the temperature is hot/ warm on the outside and rear side of the Fridge| In normal operation, the fridge transfers heat from inside to outside of the cabinet. It is normal for the side and rear of the fridge to feel warm/ hot while operating. This will be more noticeable during start up and hot ambient conditions.

When there’s leakage at water dispenser

1. Do not fill any beverage into the water tank except for purified/mineral water
2. Make sure the dispenser valve is tight enough
3. Clean the water tank completely

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, 9-digit PNC and 8-digit serial number, which is stated on the label inside the refrigerator compartment.
