ELECTROLUX LRC4AE3W1L (01) PDF Document

Only a qualified person must install this appliance.

Remove all the packaging.

Do not install or use a damaged appliance.

Always take care when moving the appliance as it is heavy. Always use safety gloves and enclosed footwear.

Make sure the air can circulate around the appliance.

Before carrying out any operations on the appliance (e.g. reversing the door), remove the plug from the power socket.

If the appliance is being installed for the first time or after reversing the door, wait at least 4 hours before connecting the appliance to the power supply. This allows the oil to flow back into the compressor.

When positioning the appliance, ensure the supply cord is not trapped or damaged.

Do not use multi-plug adapters and extension cables.

The appliance must be earthed.

Make sure that the parameters on the rating plate are compatible with the electrical ratings of the mains power supply.

Always use a correctly installed shockproof socket.

Make sure not to cause damage to the electrical components (e.g. mains plug, mains cable, compressor).

The mains cable must stay below the level of the mains plug.

Connect the mains plug to the mains socket only at the end of the installation. Make sure that there is access to the mains plug after the installation.

Do not pull the mains cable to disconnect the appliance. Always pull the mains plug.

This appliance is not intended to be used as a built-in appliance.

To ensure the appliance’s best functionality, you should not install the appliance in a place with direct sunlight.

Do not install the appliance close to radiators or cookers, ovens, or hobs, unless otherwise specified in the installation instructions.

Make sure that air can circulate freely around the back of the cabinet.

This appliance should be installed in a dry, well ventilated indoor position.

If the appliance is positioned below an overhanging wall unit, the minimum distance between the top of the cabinet shall be maintained. Ideally, however, the appliance should not be positioned below overhanging wall units.

One or more adjustable feet at the base of the cabinet ensure that the appliance stands level.

If you position the appliance against the wall, use back spacers provided or keep the minimum distance indicated in the installation instructions.

This appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperature ranging from 10°C to 43°C.

It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from the mains power supply. The plug must therefore be easily accessible after installation.

To switch the ELECTROLUX LRC4AE3W1L refrigerator on:

1. Insert the plug into the wall socket.

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

To switch the ELECTROLUX LRC4AE3W1L refrigerator off, turn the temperature regulator to the “O” position.

The temperature is regulated automatically, but you can set it yourself. The internal temperature depends on room temperature, frequency of opening the door, quantity of food stored, and appliance location. A medium setting is generally the most suitable one.

To obtain a lower temperature inside the appliance, turn the temperature regulator clockwise.

To obtain a higher temperature inside the appliance, turn the temperature regulator counterclockwise.

To reposition the door shelves/bins in the ELECTROLUX LRC4AE3W1L refrigerator:

1. Gradually lift the shelf/bin in the direction of the arrows until it comes free.

2. Place the shelf/bin in desired position and gently insert it into the runner.

To remove a glass shelf from the ELECTROLUX LRC4AE3W1L refrigerator:

1. Remove surrounding drawers (refer to “Removing drawers”).

2. Pull out locking pins on both sides of the shelf (1).

3. Pull the glass shelf outwards (2).

To put the glass shelf back follow the above steps in reverse order. When pushing in the locking pins make sure to insert them fully in their place.

To remove a drawer from a compartment in the ELECTROLUX LRC4AE3W1L refrigerator:

1. Pull the drawer out until it stops.

2. Once you reach the end of the runners, lift slightly the front of the drawer and remove it from the appliance.

To put the drawer into a compartment, follow the above steps in reverse order.

Most efficient use of energy is ensured in the configuration with the drawers in the bottom part of the appliance and shelves evenly distributed. Position of the door bins does not affect energy consumption.

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

Do not set too high temperature to save energy unless it is required by the characteristics of the food.

If the ambient temperature is high and the temperature control is set to low temperature and the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may run continuously, causing frost or ice formation on the evaporator. In this case, set the temperature control toward higher temperature to allow automatic defrosting and to save energy this way.

Ensure a good ventilation. Do not cover the ventilation grilles or holes.

The fresh food compartment is the one marked on the rating plate.

Meat (all types) should be wrapped in a suitable packaging and placed it on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer.

Store meat for at most 1-2 days.

Before using the appliance for the first time, the interior and all internal accessories should be washed with lukewarm water and some neutral soap to remove the typical smell of a brand-new product, then dried thoroughly.

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

Caution: The accessories and parts of the appliance are not suitable for washing in a dishwasher.

Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of the refrigerator compartment 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 overflowing and dripping onto the food inside.

1. Disconnect the appliance from electricity supply.

2. Remove all food.

3. Clean the appliance and all accessories.

4. Leave the door open to prevent unpleasant smells.
