TEMPERATURE CONTROL

When you first turn on the refrigerator, set both the refrigerator and freezer temperature control to normal. Please refer to the below section for information on adjusting refrigerator and freezer temperature.

IMPORTANT

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 the right temperature, while checking the temperature of water kept in the refrigerator is a good way of checking the temperature of the food compartment. Temperatures inside each compartment may vary, depending on how much food you store and where you place it. High or low room temperature may also affect the actual temperature inside the refrigerator. When you change the temperature settings, make small adjustments and wait 24 hours before assessing whether you need to make any further changes.

Freezer temperature adjustment

  1. Select the freezer control.
  2. Slide the control to set Colder.
  3.  Slide the control to set Less Cold.

Default setting

  1. For ETM3100L & ETM3400L models
  2. For ETM4302C & ETM5002C models

Refrigerator temperature adjustment

  1. Select the refrigerator control.
  2. Slide the control to set Colder.
  3. Slide the control to set Less Cold.

Default setting

The AUTOSENSE function is an artificial intelligence incorporated into your refrigerator, which will record and process all information related to the use of product and use habits. To then automatically adjust the internal temperature of your refrigerator. Making this more efficient. The function will be conditioned by the amount of food entered, the number of times the door is opened and prolonged periods of absence (without use), among other factors.

  • To select the AUTOSENSE, slide the control to the left completely.

IMPORTANT

  • While entering the AUTOSENSE function, the temperature inside the Refrigerator/Freezer will rise over the default temperature setting for approximately 1-3°c. This function should be switched to the default setting if you feel that the beverage is not cool enough or Ice cream becomes soft.

IMPORTANT

  • Setting the freezer temperature to the lowest is not recommended for normal or very hot climate conditions as this will limit the cooling capacity to other sections of the refrigerator. In a very cold climate, the freezer will need to be set colder.

INSTALLING YOUR NEW APPLIANCE

Unpacking

ENVIRONMENT

Most of the packing materials are recyclable. Please dispose of those materials through your local recycling depot or by placing them in appropriate collection containers.

Important

check for any damages or marks. If you find the refrigerator is damaged or marked, you must report it within 7 days should you wish to claim for damage/ marks under the manufacturer’s warranty. This does not affect your statutory rights. Clean the refrigerator thoroughly according to instructions, and wipe away any dust that has accumulated during shipping. Check that the floor is level. If it is not then adjust the provided leveling leg so the product is level and stable. We recommend that you let your refrigerator run for two to three hours before you put any food in it. This will allow you to check that it is operating properly and that enough cool air is going to the freezer. Clearance around your refrigerator;

  • Allow a minimum of 30mm clearance on both sides of the refrigerator.
  • Allow 50mm clearance at the back of the refrigerator.
  • allow a minimum of 10mm clearance above the hinge cover.
  • If you do not have a cupboard with an allowance for airflow above the refrigerator, the recommended clearance area on top increases to 90 mm.Electrolux-ETM-Series-Refrigeration-FIG- \(13\)
  • When positioned in a corner area, spacing a minimum of Xmm (Distance depends on the model as per the table above)on the hinge side will allow the doors to open enough to enable the removal of bins and shelves.
  • NOTE : In installation where both sides and the rear of the refrigerator are not enclosed by cabinetry e.g. the refrigerator is placed against a wall, the clearance between the rear of the refrigerator and the wall should not be greater than 75mm. Your refrigerator uses energy efficient components that may produce different noises (Refer “Noises” page for examples) to your old refrigerator. Occasionally the gurgling sound of a refrigerator flowing or the sound of parts expanding and contracting can be heard. These noises are quite normal. Locating the refrigerator

Installing your refrigerator

  1. Roll the refrigerator into place. The rollers are designed for forward or backward movement only. They are not castors. Moving the refrigerator sideways may damage your floor and the rollers. Before moving your refrigerator ensure height adjusting nut and the stability foot are fully wound up off the floor.
  2. Wind the large height adjusting nut under door hinge down until the refrigerator is tilted back by 10mm (see diagram).Electrolux-ETM-Series-Refrigeration-FIG- \(14\)
  3. Wind the large height adjusting nut on the handle side down until the refrigerator is level and stable. If you have difficulty winding the nut or height adjusting foot down, have someone tilt the refrigerator back so you have better access.Electrolux-ETM-Series-Refrigeration-FIG- \(15\)
  4. Check the alignment of the refrigerator to the surrounding cupboards to see if it is level. You can adjust the level as detailed in step 2 and 3.Electrolux-ETM-Series-Refrigeration-FIG- \(16\)
  5. If you find your refrigerator rocks from corner to corner, it means your floor is uneven. Find a piece of plastic or hardboard etc. and pack it firmly under the roller.
  6. You may now need to fine-tune the installation by repeating steps 3, 4, and 5.
  7. When you have the appliance in its final position, it needs to be stabilized. Wind the stability foot under the door hinge down to the floor until it just makes contact with the floor. Lift the front of the appliance to take the weight off the stability foot, then turn it half a turn further to ensure firm contact with the floor. Wind the large height adjusting nut back up to ensure all the weight is now on the front stability foot. Wind the large height adjusting nut back up to ensure all the weight is now on the front stability foot.
  8. Repeat step 7 for the stability foot on the handle side. Whenever you need to move the appliance, be sure to wind the feet back up so that the appliance can roll freely and be sure to reset it when reinstalling.Electrolux-ETM-Series-Refrigeration-FIG- \(17\)
  9. Plug your refrigerator straight into its own power point and never use a double adapter. If you need to roll the refrigerator to get to the plug, remember to raise the stability foot first.
  10. Before you put any food in your refrigerator, it’s recommended you leave it on for 2 or 3 hours to check it is running properly.

USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

Refrigerators work by transferring heat from the food inside to the outside air. This operation makes the back and sides of the refrigerator feel warm or even hot particularly at start-up and on warm days – this is normal. Avoid placing food against the air vents in the refrigerator as it affects efficient circulation. If the door is opened frequently, a light frosting will occasionally occur on the freezer’s interior. This is normal and will clear after a few days. If the freezer door is accidentally kept open, a heavy frost will coat the inside walls and should be removed. Your new refrigerator uses a high-speed compressor, along with other energy-efficient components, which may make unusual sounds and be more noticeable at night and quieter times. These sounds simply indicate your refrigerator is working how it should. They include:

  • Compressor running noises; modern high-efficiency compressors run much faster than older models.
  • Air movement noise from the small fan motor;
  • A gurgling sound, similar to water boiling;
  • A popping noise was heard during automatic defrosting; and
  • A clicking noise, prior to compressor start-up. Further details can be found in the Troubleshooting Guide.

IMPORTANT

For top-mount refrigerators (where the freezer is on top of the fresh food compartment).

  • Don’t place food forward of the ribs on the freezer floor, as it will obstruct the door from closing.Electrolux-ETM-Series-Refrigeration-FIG- \(18\)

USING AND REMOVING FEATURES

Glass shelves

  • To remove the shelves, gently pull them forward until the shelf comes clear of the shelf guides.
  • To return the shelf, make sure there is nothing behind that may obstruct movement. Gently push the shelf, into the cabinet and back into position.Electrolux-ETM-Series-Refrigeration-FIG- 27

CAUTION

  • To avoid personal injury or property damage, handle tempered glass shelves carefully. Shelves may break suddenly if nicked, scratched, or exposed to sudden temperature changes. Allow the glass shelves to stabilize to room temperature before cleaning. Do not wash in the dishwasher.

Crisper Drawer

  • The crisper drawer is designed for storing fruits, vegetables, and other fresh produce. Crisper has an auto humidity membrane in front of the crisper cover to maintain optimum humidity for longer fresh vegetables.
  • To empty food from the crisper. On some models it will be necessary to remove the bottle storage bins.
  • Remove the crisper by pulling forward, then up and forward again.
  • Remove the crisper shelf by lifting the catches on the left and right underside of the shelf and pulling the shelf forward.Electrolux-ETM-Series-Refrigeration-FIG- \(20\)

Door storage bins

  • Both the refrigerator and freezer have door storage bins. You can adjust the refrigerator bins to meet different storage needs. All the door bins are completely removable for cleaning. If you want to remove or adjust a bin, lift and unlock from lugs to remove. To replace, lift up and push bin down until the support lugs lock it in place.

Deodorizer

  • Your refrigerator is fitted with Deodorizer to assist with the removal of food odours inside your refrigerator. Keeping the food covered and wrapping it in plastic will also help to reduce the odors inside your refrigerator.

Twist & Serve Ice Bin

  1. Prior the first use clean the ice tray.
  2. Fill the water up to max level of the ice tray.Electrolux-ETM-Series-Refrigeration-FIG- \(21\)
  3. Put the ice tray in place.
  4. Rotate ice twist clockwise to release the ice from the ice tray.

WARNING

Crisper Operation

CONCERN WHAT TO DO

Excess moisture builds up in crisper


It is normal for there to be some moisture and

humidity in the crisper bin.

| •        Ensure that the crisper is not over-packed.

•        Adjust crisper humidity slides.

The crisper bin can not be removed| •       If the crisper bin interferes with the door bins, remove door bins before removing the crisper.

•        Position the cabinet so that the door can be fully opened.

Freezing items in the crisper| •        Adjust the temperature to a warmer setting.

Appliance noise

Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn’t make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces, like the floor, walls, and cabinets, can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are. The following describes the kinds of sounds and what may be making them.

CONCERN WHAT TO DO
Motor noise (compressor) Nothing. This is normal as your new refrigerator

uses a high-speed compressor which switches on and off during operation.

Note that the compressor noise may seem louder at the start of the on cycle.

Motor noise (compressor);| These refrigerators are fitted with a variable speed compressor and fan. At start up and on warm days they run at a higher speed to provide additional cooling. When less cooling is required

the compressor and fan will run at a lower speed. As a result it is normal for sound levels to change depending on operating conditions.

A clicking noise heard just before the compressor starts.| Nothing. This is normal as your new refrigerator has an automatic switching action of the temperature control, turning the compressor on and off.
Occasional gurgling, similar to water boiling.| Nothing. As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your refrigerator system.

Nothing, this is normal as your new refrigerator uses high efficiency fans to circulate air. Fan speed and noise may increase during periods of heavy usage or hot weather.

Rattling and other noises.| •       Ensure that the cabinet is level and stable, refer to Installation Instructions

•       Check the surrounds of the appliance to ensure there is nothing touching or placed on top of the appliance.

•       Ensure that the contents of the appliance are not placed in such a way that they are vibrating (such as bottles).

Refrigerator operation

CONCERN WHAT TO DO

The appliance will not run


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.

| •       Ensure that the cord is plugged into a live power outlet and outlet is switched on.

•       Ensure that the household circuit breaker has not tripped or that the fuse has not blown.

•       The appliance maybe in defrost mode, check again in half an hour.

The compressor motor seems to run too long


At normal room temperatures, expect your motor to run about 40% to 80% of the time. Under

warmer conditions, expect it to run more often.

| •        Ensure that the doors are not held open.

•       Check that large amounts of warm food have not just been placed inside the appliance.

•       Note that the appliance will run more than normal just after you install it or when adjusting the temperature setting changes.

CONCERN WHAT TO DO

The compressor motor seems to run too long . These appliances use a variable speed compressor, which by design can run for long periods of time, this is normal| •       The variable speed compressor and fan that at start-up and on warm days, runs at high speeds to provide additional cooling. When less cooling is required the compressor and fan will run at a lower speed, but still may not switch off. This is normal.

•       It is possible that the only time the compressor and fan will stop is when the refrigerator is defrosting which is approximately once per day.

The exterior of the appliance is warm or hot to touch


This is normal because the appliance transfers heat from the inside out through the outer panels and the divider between the doors.

| •       Ensure the appliance has the external clearances recommended in the section “Installing your new appliance”.

•       The exterior of the cabinet will be much warmer on warmer days it may even feel hot to touch, as the appliance is working harder.

Alarms Sounding| •        Check that all doors are fully closed.

•       Ensure that the over-temperature alarm is not being activated by hot food placed in the freezer.

•        Check if the drinks timer has ended, refer to control instructions.

Frost build-up| •        Check that all doors are fully closed.

•        Ensure that the doors are not opened too often.

•        Ensure that the return air vents are not blocked with packaging.

•        Ensure the seals are clean and not obstructed.

Odors| •        The interior may need cleaning, refer to the cleaning guide.

•       Ensure that food is stored correctly as some food, containers, and wrapping can produce odors.

•        Check appliances for old or unusual food.

Lights not working


The LED lighting is designed to turn on gradually. The LED lighting is designed

to dim automatically if the door is left open for more than 5 minutes and turn off completely if the door is open for more than 7 minutes. Closing the door will reset the timer.

| •       Ensure that the cord is plugged into a live power outlet and outlet is switched on.

•       Ensure that the household circuit breaker has not tripped or that the fuse has not blown.

•       Check that the user interface is not in Sabbath Mode, refer to control instructions.

•       Check the appliance features section to determine lighting configuration for your model.

Door operation

CONCERN WHAT TO DO
The freezer door pops open. •       This is normal and should re-close. This

happens when the refrigerator door is closed too quickly.

•       If the freezer door stays open, it indicates that the appliance needs to be tilted backward a little further. Refer to the section “Installing your new appliance”.

Self close not working.| •       Check if your appliance has self-closing hinges as not all models do.

•       It indicates that the appliance needs to be tilted backward a little further. Refer to the section “Installing your new appliance”.

The door not sealing properly| •       Ensure there is nothing that is preventing the door from closing such as appliance contents or items placed near the appliance.

•       Ensure that the crisper/freezer bin is closed completely. Refit if required as referred to in the section “Using your refrigerator”.

•        Ensure the appliance is set up as per recommendations.

Door difficult to open and close| •       If the door is difficult to open just after you have closed it this is due to the pressure-equalizing, the door will open normally after a few minutes.

If you still require service  If you have a problem, and the problem persists after you have made the checks mentioned, contact your nearest Electrolux- approved Service Centre or the dealer you bought the refrigerator from. Be ready to quote the model number, the 9-digit PNC, and 8-digit serial number, which is stated on the label inside the refrigerator compartment.
