Cleaning; Tips - Electrolux EK 242 Gebrauchsanweisung

Cleaning

The appliance is to be kept clean for the
hygienic storage of foodstuffs. It should be
washed out from time to time with a mild
soapy solution and then dried. An occasio-
nal wiping with a vinegar solution suppres-
ses odours and is recommended. Keeping
the door seals clean stops them from
sticking and thus avoids them being dama-
ged.
No scouring cleaners or scratching cloths
are to be used. Clean the door seals with a
soft brush. If the appliance has not been
used for some time, turn off by using the
main switch (3 sec.). Empty the appliance,
defrost it, clean, and then leave the cold
room as well as the freezer compartment
open.
– For cleaning the control element please
use only a humid flannel.
– Be careful that as little cleaning water as
possible goes though the drainage
channel into the collection dish.
– Before being put back in use, the appli-
ance and the seals of the cold room and
the freezer must all be completely dry.

Tips

The following points should be noted
when using the new appliance:
The appliance should not be installed
■
near heaters, radiators, or smoke ventila-
tors, and should be protected from
direct sunshine.
A appliance which has just been put into
■
use needs approx. 15 hours (with pro-
ducts) until it has reached its normal
operating temperatures.
Keep the appliance doors open for as
■
short a time as possible. If the doors are
open for longer than 2 minutes then the
32
lamp starts to flash. Make sure after clo-
sing that the doors are fully sealed. The
self-closing hinges assist this.
The cooling time for beverages and other
■
products can take up to 6 hours from
room temperature down to the cold
room temperature. The warmer they are
when put in, the longer this time will be.
Re-setting the temperature control has
■
no effect on the cooling rate, only on
the temperature reached.
Allow warm or really hot products cool
■
down outside the appliance.
Condensation can form on the glass
■
shelves if products are stored which emit
water vapour.
The electronic control defrosts the cold
■
room only about once per day. A cat ice
may be visible oftentimes at the back
board of the cold room – this is though
normal.
Be careful that products do not come
■
into contact with the rear wall of the
cold room so that they do not freeze to
it and that, during defrosting, water
does not get diverted into the cold
room.
When filling be careful that:
■
– Oil and fats do not come into contact
with the polymer parts and the door
seals.
– The coldest locations in the cold room
for any setting of the temperature
controller are at the back wall and
above the lowest shelf. Sensitive pro-
ducts should therefore be put on the
lowest shelf.
Example of how to use:
■
– Freeze and store foodstuffs and make
ice in the freezer compartment.
– On the shelves from top to bottom:
