Door hang and outer door panel
The chosen position for your fridge may make it
preferable to change over the door hinges to reverse
the door hang. To do this, refer to page 5.
If you wish, the outer door panel can be removed and
replaced by another (not supplied by Electrolux) to
match existing decor in your room instructions for doing
this are also given on page 5.
Connecting to the mains
The refrigerator must only be connected to the
electricity supply using an earthed socket outlet,
installed in accordance with local regulations. Before
connecting the refrigerator, check from the data label
inside the cabinet that the voltage agree with your mains
supply.
Plug connection (for United Kingdom only)
If a 3 pin 13 amp fused plug is used, it should be fitted
with a 3 amp fuse; with other plug types, the circuit
should contain a 5 am fuse.
This appliance conforms with the requirements of EEC
Directive No. 89/336 relating to radio interference.
Warning - This appliance must be earthed.
MOULDED - ON PLUG
The mains lead is fitted with a non-rewirable moulded-
on 13 amp plug containing a 3 amp fuse. If the fuse
requires replacing at any time, the fuse cover/carrier
should be removed using a small screwdriver to lever
it out. The old fuse should be replaced by a 3 amp
ASTA approved BS1362 fuse and the fuse
cover/carrier must be refitted before the plug is used
again.
If the fuse cover-carrier is lost, a replacement can be
obtained from the Electrolux Service Shops. The fuse
cover/carrier must be of the same colour as that of the
coloured insert in the base of the plug. In no
circumstances must the plug be used without a correct
fuse cover/carrier fitted.
If the plug supplied on the mains lead is not suitable for
the socket in your home, it should be cut off and
disposed of safety, or destroyed, to avoid any possible
shock hazard resulting from the plug being inserted
into a 13 amp socket elsewhere in the house. A
suitable replacement plug should then be fitted as
given below.
IMPORTANT
The wires in the mains lead of this appliance are
coloured in accordance with the following code:
GREEN-and-YELLOW : EARTH
BLUE : NEUTRAL
BROWN : LIVE
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not
correspond with the coloured markings identifying the
terminals in your plug, proceed as follows.
Connect the GREEN-and-YELLOW coloured wire to the
plug terminal marked letter E or earth symbol or
coloured green or green-and-yellow.
Connect the BROWN coloured wire to the plug terminal
marked letter L or coloured red.
Connect the BLUE coloured wire to the plug terminal
marked letter N or coloured black.
STARTING THE REFRIGERATOR
To start the fridge, plug into the socket outlet, switch on,
and turn the thermostat dial (inside the cabinet) to
setting number 3 or 4. There will be signs of cooling in
about an hour. Note that the fridge has an absorption
type of cooling unit, which is virtually silent in operation.
You will not therefore hear anything start up when the
fridge is switched on.
On the Auto-Defrost versions there also will be signs of
cooling after about one hour, unless by coincidence the
time switch is at a defrost cycle when first switched on
in which case 2 or 3 hours may elapse before cooling
starts to take place.
The refrigerator temperature will be affected by
location, room temperature, and frequency of door
opening and adjustment of the thermostat dial may be
needed to allow for this.
Temperature control
The temperature in the fridge is from 0° to 7°C and
inside the frozen food storage compartment on model
EA0600C/601C/602C/EA3200 is -12° or below,
when you set the thermostat dial to 3 or 4, in normal
ambient temperatures.
If colder temperatures are needed in the fridge turn the
thermostat dial clockwise to a higher number: if less
cooling is required, turn the dial anti-clockwise to a
lower number.
USING THE FRIDGE
The fridge compartment provides suitable storage for
most kinds of food, milk, drinks, etc and door shelves
are provided in the 60 litre models for bottles, jars, and
small packets.
Ideally, all foods should be in covered containers or
plastic bags, or wrapped in foil
or plastic film. Liquids should also be covered. This is to
prevent flavours passing from one item to another and
also to reduce frost build-up on the cooling surfaces
due to moisture coming from stored items.
Suggested storage times for fresh foods
Storage times will vary according to the type of food and
how fresh it is when put into the fridge but no food
should be stored for longer than the times stated below:
Suggested maximum storage times:
Type of food Storage time
Uncooked fresh meat
poultry, beef and lamb 3-5 days
pork 2-4 days
sausages 3 days
mince & offal 1-2 days
