Refrigerator; Cleaning; Tips - Electrolux EK107000 Bedienungsanleitung

Be sure to keep the collection channel and
the drainage channel clean, so that the
melted water can flow out easily. Clean
out the drainage channel with the green
cleaner provided using an up-and-down
and turning motion.
Defrost the freezer compartment if the ice
formation becomes excessive. A thick coa-
ting of ice reduces the effectiveness of the
cold transfer to the frozen products.
Keep the frozen products as cold as possi-
ble and well insulated during the defro-
sting time, e.g. pack them in newspaper.
– Set the temperature controller to positi-
on «0».
– Leave the doors open.
Defrosting can be accelerated significantly
if you place a bowl of hot water in the fre-
ezer compartment. Attention: do not use
sharp implements to remove ice or any-
thing hard frozen. Do not use an electrical
heater or an open flame for defrosting.
– After defrosting clean the interior and
dry it thoroughly.
– Move the temperature back to Position
Normal between the two temperature
symbols. Replace the frozen products.

Refrigerator

The height of the unbreakable secured
glass shelves can be adjusted individually.
By pressing both holders sideways at the
same time, the glass shelve can be swung
upwards and removed. To fixture the glass
shelf: push the glass shelf back into the
holder and, at the front, press it down into
the holder. Halved storage surfaces allow
tall containers to be kept upright. For this,
the front storage plate has to be pushed
back into the slider groove underneath.

Cleaning

The refrigerator 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 of the refrigerator with a vine-
gar solution suppresses odours and is
recommended. Keeping the door seals cle-
an stops them from sticking and thus
avoids them being damaged.
No scouring cleaners or scratching cloths
are to be used. Clean the door seals with a
soft brush. If the refrigerator has not been
used for some time, set the –temperature
controller to position «0». Empty the refri-
gerator, defrost it, clean, and then leave
the refrigerator as well as the freezer com-
partment open.
– Be careful that no cleaning water can
get into the controller housing (danger
of short circuit).
– Be careful that as little cleaning water as
possible goes though the drainage chan-
nel into the collection dish.
– Before being put back in use, the unit
and the seals of the refrigerator and the
freezer must all be completely dry.

Tips

The following points should be noted
when using the new refrigerator:
The unit should not be installed near
■
heaters, radiators, or smoke ventilators,
and should be protected from direct
sunshine.
A unit which has just been put into use
■
needs approx. 15 hours (with products)
until it has reached its normal operating
temperatures.
Keep the refrigerator doors open for as
■
short a time as possible. If the doors are
open for longer than 2 minutes then the
