Refrigerator Compartment; Shutting Your Appliance Down - Electrolux IK 225 10 RE Gebrauchsanweisung

Notes on freezing and storage
• Pack frozen food in standard freezer bags or reuseable plastic,
metal or aluminium containers.
• Always write the date and contents on the pack and do not exeed
the stated storage time for the food.
• Do not freeze bottles and cans which contain carbonated drinks
as they might burst.
• Only take out as much food as is immediately required for thawing.
Use food which has been thawed in prepared meals as quickly
as possible.
Frozen food can be thawed in the following ways:
– in a fan oven
– in a microwave oven
– at room temperature
– in the refrigerator: the cold given off by the frozen food is used for
cooling.
Making ice cubes
• Fill the ice-cube tray with water.
• Place the ice-cube tray in the appliance and
leave it to freeze.
• The ice cubes can be removed from the
tray by twisting or by holding upside down
for a short time under running water.
Defrosting

Refrigerator compartment

The refrigerator compartment de-
frosts automatically. The condensate
evaporates automatically through the
compressor heat.
Ensure that the water can flow without
hindrance through the hole above the
vegetable bins.
Freezer compartment
After a long period of operation, a layer of frost or ice can build up
inside the freezer compartment. This increases energy consump-
tion. You should therefore defrost the freezer compartment regularly.
• Switch the appliance off to defrost.
Pull out the mains plug.
• Wrap the frozen food in paper or blankets and store in a cool place.
• To speed up the defrosting process put a saucepan of hot but not
boiling water in the compartment.
• Leave the door of the appliance open while defrosting. After
defrosting mop up the remaining water and clean the appliance.
Do not use any mechanical devices or other artificial aids for
defrosting other than those recommended by the manufactur er.
Cleaning
Before cleaning always switch off the appliance. Disconnect
from the mains or unscrew or switch off the fuse.
• Clean the inside, equipment parts and outer walls with lukewarm
water and a little detergent. Do not use abrasive or acid cleaners
or chemical solvents.
• Ensure that no cleaning water penetrates into the electrical com-
ponents or ventilation grille.
• Dry all parts well with a cloth.
• Do not damage or remove the type plate on the inside of the ap-
pliance. It is very important for servicing purposes.
• Clean the drain hole in the refrigerator compartment with a thin
object, e.g. cotton swab or the like.
Do not use steam cleaners because of the risk of injury and
damage.
Malfunctions
You may be able to rectify the following faults by checking
the possible causes yourself:
• Appliance does not function:
– Is the appliance switched on?
– Is the plug correctly fitted in the mains socket?
– Is the socket fuse intact?
• Loud running noise:
– Is the appliance set up firmly on the floor?
– Does the appliance cause nearby items of furniture or objects to
vibrate? Please note that noises caused by the refrigerant circuit
cannot be avoided.
• The temperature is not low enough:
– Is the temperature setting correct (see "Setting the temperature")?
– Have excessive amounts of fresh food been placed in the appli-
ance?
– Does the separately installed thermometer show the correct read-
ing?
– Is the ventilation system working properly?
– Is the appliance set up too close to a heat source?
• The inside of the appliance may feel warm in places
– That is quite normal. The dissipated heat is necessary for normal
operation of the appliance.
If none of the above causes apply
and you cannot rectify the fault
yourself, contact the nearest cus-
tomer service department stating
the type of appliance ➊, PNC
number ➋ and appliance number
➌ as indicated on the type plate.
The type plate is located in the
refrigerator compartment on the
left-hand side.

Shutting your appliance down

If your appliance is to be shut down for any length of time, switch
it off and disconnect the plug or switch off or unscrew the fuse.
Clean the appliance and leave the door open in order to prevent
unpleasant smells.
The appliance complies with the relevant safety regulations and
EC Directives 2004/108/EC and 2006/95/EC.
All types and models are subject to continuous improvement and
the manufacturer therefore reserves the right to make modifica tions
to the shape, equipment and technology.
