ELECTROLUX ENN2800BOW (03) PDF Document

To switch on your ELECTROLUX ENN2800BOW fridge freezer, follow these steps:

1. Insert the plug into the wall socket.

2. Turn the Temperature regulator clockwise to a medium setting.

To turn off the ELECTROLUX ENN2800BOW appliance, turn the temperature regulator to the “O” position.

The temperature in the ELECTROLUX ENN2800BOW is regulated automatically. To adjust it:

1. Turn the Temperature regulator toward lower settings to obtain the minimum coldness.

2. Turn the Temperature regulator toward higher settings to obtain the maximum coldness.

A medium setting is generally the most suitable. However, the exact setting depends on room temperature, how often the door is opened, the quantity of food stored, and the location of the appliance.

CAUTION: If the ambient temperature is high or the appliance is fully loaded and set to the lowest temperatures, it may run continuously, causing frost on the rear wall. In this case, the dial must be set to a higher temperature to allow for automatic defrosting and reduced energy consumption.

Before using the ELECTROLUX ENN2800BOW for the first time, wash the interior and all internal accessories with lukewarm water and some neutral soap to remove the typical smell of a new product. Then, dry it thoroughly.

CAUTION: Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, chlorine, or oil-based cleaners as they will damage the finish.

Positioning the door shelves:

The door shelves can be placed at different heights to accommodate various food package sizes.

1. Gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the arrows until it comes free.

2. Reposition as required.

Movable shelves:

The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a series of runners so that the main shelves can be positioned as desired.

Important: Do not move the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer to ensure correct air circulation.

The freezer compartment of the ELECTROLUX ENN2800BOW is suitable for freezing fresh food.

1. To freeze fresh foods, it is not necessary to change the medium setting.

2. For a faster freezing operation, turn the temperature regulator toward higher settings to obtain maximum coldness. In this condition, the refrigerator compartment temperature might drop below 0°C. If this occurs, reset the temperature regulator to a warmer setting.

3. Place the fresh food to be frozen in the second compartment.

The maximum amount of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rating plate inside the appliance. The freezing process lasts 24 hours; do not add other food to be frozen during this period.

When first starting up or after a period of non-use, let the ELECTROLUX ENN2800BOW run for at least 2 hours on the higher settings before putting products in the compartment.

In the event of accidental defrosting (e.g., due to a power failure longer than the “rising time” value on the technical chart), the defrosted food must be consumed quickly or cooked immediately and then re-frozen after cooling.

Deep-frozen or frozen food can be thawed in the refrigerator compartment or at room temperature, depending on the time available. Small pieces may even be cooked while still frozen, directly from the freezer, though cooking will take longer in this case.

Your ELECTROLUX ENN2800BOW is equipped with one or more trays for producing ice cubes.

1. Fill these trays with water.

2. Put the ice trays in the freezer compartment.

Do not use metallic instruments to remove the trays from the freezer.

The following sounds are normal during the operation of your ELECTROLUX ENN2800BOW:

• A faint gurgling and bubbling sound from coils when refrigerant is pumped (HISSS!, BLUBB!).

• A whirring and pulsating sound from the compressor when refrigerant is pumped (SSSRRR!).

• A sudden cracking noise from inside the appliance caused by thermic dilatation (a natural and not dangerous physical phenomenon) (CRACK!).

• A faint click noise from the temperature regulator when the compressor switches on or off (CLICK!).

• A purring or vibrating sound from the fan and compressor (BRRR!).

• Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary.

• If the ambient temperature is high and the Temperature Regulator is set to a low temperature while the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may run continuously, causing frost or ice on the evaporator. If this happens, set the Temperature Regulator toward warmer settings to allow automatic defrosting and save electricity.

To obtain the best performance for fresh food refrigeration:

• Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator.

• Cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavor.

• Position food so that air can circulate freely around it.

Useful hints for specific foods:

• Meat (all types): Wrap in suitable packaging and place it on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer. Store for at most 1-2 days.

• Cooked foods, cold dishes: Cover and place on any shelf.

• Fruit and vegetables: Clean thoroughly and place in a special drawer. Bananas, potatoes, onions, and garlic must not be kept in the refrigerator if not packed.

• Butter and cheese: Place in a special airtight container or wrap in an aluminum foil or a polythene bag to exclude as much air as possible.

• Bottles: Close with a cap and place on the door bottle shelf or bottle rack (if available).

To make the most of the freezing process, here are some important hints:

• The maximum quantity of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is shown on the rating plate.

• The freezing process takes 24 hours. No further food should be added during this period.

• Freeze only top quality, fresh, and thoroughly cleaned foodstuffs.

• Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and to thaw only the quantity required later.

• Wrap up the food in aluminum foil or polythene and make sure the packages are airtight.

• Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food which is already frozen, to avoid a rise in temperature of the latter.

• Lean foods store better and longer than fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life of food.

• Water ices, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment, can possibly cause the skin to be freeze burnt.

• It is advisable to show the freezing-in date on each individual pack to keep track of the storage time.

The ELECTROLUX ENN2800BOW has to be cleaned regularly:

1. Unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance operation.

2. Clean the inside and accessories with lukewarm water and some neutral soap.

3. Regularly check the door seals and wipe them clean to ensure they are free from debris.

4. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

5. If accessible, clean the condenser and the compressor at the back of the appliance with a brush. This will improve performance and save electricity.

CAUTION:

• Do not pull, move, or damage any pipes and/or cables inside the cabinet.

• Take care not to damage the cooling system.

• When moving the cabinet, lift it by the front edge to avoid scratching the floor.

Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of the refrigerator compartment every time the motor compressor stops during normal use. The defrost water drains out through a trough into a special container at the back of the appliance, over the motor compressor, where it evaporates.

It is important to periodically clean the defrost water drain hole in the middle of the refrigerator compartment channel to prevent the water from overflowing and dripping onto the food inside.

Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.

1. About 12 hours prior to defrosting, set a lower temperature to build up a sufficient chill reserve for the interruption in operation.

2. Switch off the appliance or pull out the electrical plug from the wall socket.

3. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper, and put it in a cool place. Do not touch frozen food with wet hands, as hands can freeze to the goods.

4. Leave the door open and protect the floor from the defrosting water (e.g., with a cloth or a flat vessel).

5. To speed up the process, you can place a pot of warm water in the freezer compartment. Also, remove pieces of ice with an ice scraper before defrosting is complete.

6. Once defrosting is completed, dry the interior thoroughly.

7. Switch on the appliance.

8. Wait at least 3 hours before putting the food back into the freezer compartment.

CAUTION: Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as you could damage it. Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial means to speed up the thawing process other than those recommended by the manufacturer.

When the appliance is not in use for long periods, take the following precautions:

1. Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply.

2. Remove all food.

3. Defrost (if necessary) and clean the appliance and all accessories.

4. Clean the appliance and all accessories.

5. Leave the door/doors open to prevent unpleasant smells.
