cLEARANcE AROUND YOUR REFRIGERATOR
Before you move your refrigerator into the place where it
will operate, check that it will have adequate clearance.
Clearance is required for air circulation and too little
clearance may affect your refrigerator’s performance.
Please note: Doors are designed to sit proud (not flush of
cabinetry).
We recommend airspace clearances of:
• 30mm on each side
• 50mm behind the refrigerator
If you do not have a cupboard with a rear gap, the
recommended clearance area on top increases from 50mm
to 90mm (x).
NoTe:
The clearances shown above are the recommended
minimum clearances. The clearance at the rear must not
exceed 75mm.
LEFT HAND OPENING DOOR KIT
If you require a refrigerator that opens to the left rather than
the right, please ensure you have a kit (AREX01WA) to
do so. If it has not been supplied with this product, it can
be obtained by contacting your Electrolux Customer Care
Centre (the numbers can be found on the back page).
Instructions on how to change the door opening options are
contained within the kit.
bEFORE USING YOUR NEW REFRIGERATOR
Clean your refrigerator thoroughly following the instructions
and wipe off any dust that has accumulated during
shipping.
Check that the floor is level. If it is not, then adjust the
provided levelling leg so 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.
INITIAL START UP
Note that during operation the outside of the refrigerator
will feel warm, particularly at initial start up. This is normal.
Avoid placing food against air outlets, as this will affect air
circulation.
A light frosting will 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.
Exterior
You should only clean your refrigerator with lukewarm
soapy water and a soft cloth. Rinse with clean water and
then wipe the surface with a soft clean cloth to remove any
soap residue.
Interior
You should clean the refrigerator interior regularly. Wash
the interior with a soft cloth and lukewarm soapy water.
Thoroughly dry all surfaces and removable parts. Avoid
getting water on refrigerator controls. If you have taken out
any removable parts, replace them and switch the power
on before restocking the refrigerator with food. Naturally,
you should keep the interior of your refrigerator hygienic by
promptly and thoroughly wiping up any food spills.
Keep the door seals clean
Take care to keep door seals clean. Sticky food and drink
can cause seals to stick to the cabinet and tear when you
open the door. Wash seal with lukewarm soapy water.
Rinse thoroughly and dry.
WARNING
Never use hot water, solvents, commercial kitchen cleaners,
aerosol cleaners, metal polishes, caustic or abrasive
cleaners, or scourers to clean this appliance as they
will damage it. Many commercially available cleaning
products and detergents contain solvents that will damage
you refrigerator. When cleaning, use only a soft cloth and
lukewarm soapy water.

DOOR
(Rear gap)
Make sure you fully close the freezer and fresh food doors
after you load or remove food from these compartments.
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.
Your refrigerator uses energy efficient components that
may produce different noises to your old refrigerator.
Occasionally a gurgling sound of refrigerant flowing or the
sound of parts expanding and contracting can be heard.
These noises are quite normal.
