Electrolux EUC22430W, User Manual

You must confirm the choice by pressing
key (E) within few seconds. You will hear
the buzzer and the icon remains lighted. In
this condition any possible operation
through the keys does not cause any
change as long as this function is activated.
It is possible to de-activate the function at
any time by pressing key (D) until the corre-
sponding icon will flash and then key (E).

TEMPERATURE ALARM

Temperature increase in the freezer com-
partment (for example due to an power fail-
ure or door is open) is indicated by:
• flashing temperature

• flashing icon 
• acoustic buzzer
When normal conditions are restored:
• the acoustic alarm will stop
• the temperature value continues to flash
• the Alarm icon continues to flash
When you press button (E) to deactivate the
alarm, the highest temperature reached in
the compartment appears on indicator 
for some seconds.
Then it returns on the normal operation
showing the temperature of the selected
compartment.
During the alarm phase, the buzzer can be
switched off by pressing button (E).

FIRST USE

CLEANING THE INTERIOR

Before using the appliance for the first time,
wash the interior and all internal accesso-
ries with lukewarm water and some neutral
soap so as to remove the typical smell of a
brand-new product, then dry thoroughly.

Important!

 Do not use detergents or abra-

sive powders, as these will damage the fin-
ish.

DAILY USE

USE OF THE FREEZER
COMPARTMENT

The symbol 

 means that the

freezer is suitable for freezing fresh food
and for long term storage. The temperature
may be regulated between -15°C and
-24°C. We suggest setting the temperature
to -18°C, which is optimal for energy con-
sumption and frozen food storage.

Important!

 Difference between setting

temperature and actual temperature is
normal.

Especially when:
• a new setting has recently been selected
• the door has been open for a long time
• warm food has been placed in the com-

partment.

Difference until 5°C inside the compartment
are quite normal.
During operation the temperature indicator
shows setting value.

STORAGE OF FROZEN FOOD

When first starting-up or after a period out
of use, before putting the products in the

compartment let the appliance run at least
24 hours on the Fast Freeze setting.
If large quantities of food are to be stored,
remove the drawers but the lower one from
appliance and place food on evaporator
shelves to obtain the best performance.

Important!

 In the event of accidental

defrosting, for example due to a power
failure, if the power has been off for longer
that the value shown in the technical
characteristics chart under "rising time", the
defrosted food must be consumed quickly
or cooked immediately and then re-frozen
(after cooling).

THAWING

Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being
used, can be thawed in the refrigerator
compartment or at room temperature, de-
pending on the time available for this opera-
tion.
Small pieces may even be cooked still fro-
zen, directly from the freezer: in this case,
cooking will take longer.
