Practical advice on freezing · When freezing products, use the top shelf, and if necessary the shelf beneath as this is the coldest part. · When freezing large amounts of food/provisions, the accumulator moves to the tray/space nearest to the lower freezing shelf. · Spread out the products as much as possible to allow air to circulate between them. · Do not place food products which are to be frozen directly against other frozen food. The heat from the unfrozen food may cause the frozen food to thaw on the surface. · Once frozen, re-arrange the products and put them as close as possible to each other. The freezing capacity of the unit is indicated in the specifications section. Suitable storage periods Food purchased in frozen condition: Follow the advice on the maximum storage period indicated on the packaging. When moving the cabinet, lift it by the front edge to avoid scratching the floor. 8 Electrolux 818 34 32-01/5 Defrosting the freezer A certain amount of frost will always form on the freezer shelves and around the top compartment. Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm. Remove the freezer drawers and place them on top of each other by turning every other drawer one half turn. The frozen products can also be packed closely together and be kept in a cold location, e. g. Defrosting can be accelerated by placing bowls with hot water (not boiling) inside the freezer. Loosen the drainage channel from its resting position and push in according to the illustration and place it in the bottom freezer drawer where water can collect. When all the ice has melted, clean and wipe the cabinet dry, then put the drainage channel back in place. Switch on the cabinet and replace the frozen foodstuff. Never use a hair drier or other heating appliances to speed up defrosting. Excessive heat may damage the plastic interior, and humidity could enter the electric appliance making it live. To change the light bulb The light is switched on automatically when the door is opened. Before replacing the light bulb, disconnect the power plug from the outlet. Keep the packaging on to hold the bulb when setting it into the socket. [. . . ] If the food products have thawed but are still fresh, they may be used, however they should be prepared before re-freezing or eating them. A pulsing sound is heard when coolant is pumped inside the cooling pipes. A ticking sound from the thermostat can be heard when the compressor switches on and off. If you feel the sound level is incorrect: Make sure the pipes at the back of the cabinet not touch each other. [. . . ]
