First use
Before first use, the freezer should be cleaned inside, see chapter "Care and cleaning".
Plug in the appliance.
The green light will come on.
The red light will also switch on and the alarm will beep, since the temperature inside the freezer is not yet sufficient-
ly low for food storage.
Press button (D) to switch the alarm off. The red light will normally switch off after several hours.
Only place food inside the freezer once the red light has switched off.

Temperature adjustment
To adjust the temperature of the freezer, proceed as follows:
Turn the thermostat knob clockwise towards
for a colder storage temperature.
Turn the thermotat knob counter-clockwise towards
for a less cold storage temperature.
Super Freeze function
If more than 3-4 kg of fresh food is to be frozen, the freezer needs to be pre-cooled.
At least 24 hours before placing fresh food in the freezer, press button (D).
The yellow light comes on.
Place the food in the freezer. After 52 hours this function will automatically switch off and the freezer will return to nor-
mal storage temperature. This function can be de-activated any time by pressing button (D) again.
Alarm
If the freezer temperature is not sufficiently low, the alarm will beep and the red light will come on.
Press button (D) to switch the sound off. The red light remains on as long as the temperature in the freezer is higher
than the thermostat setting.
The alarm can be due to:
Insertion of a large amount of fresh food.
Opening the lid too long.
A defect in the system, see chapter "What to do if...".
Storage baskets
Hang the baskets on the upper edge (X) or place the stackable baskets inside the freez-
er (Y).
Turn and fix the handles for these two positions, as shown in the drawings.
Spare baskets can be obtained from your local Service Force Centre or
from the Electrolux website (depending on country). The illustrations on
this page show how many baskets can be placed in the various freezer
models.
Opening and closing the lid
As the lid is fitted with a tightly closing seal, it will not re-open easily immediatedly after closing.
Wait a few minutes before re-opening the lid. A valve will allow the lid to be re-opened easily. Never pull the handle vio-
lently.
Care and Cleaning
Defrosting the freezer
When the ice layer is 10-15 mm thick, the freezer should be defrosted. We suggest that you defrost your freezer when
there is little or no food inside.
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
Remove the contents of the freezer, wrap them in newspapers, and keep them in a cold place.
