Setting Up; Connecting To The Mains; Notes On Energy Saving; Switching The Appliance On And Off - Electrolux ERO 3298 Operating Instructions Manual

Setting up

Standard EN 378 specifies that the room in which you install your
appliance must have a volume of 1 m
used in the appliance, so as to avoid the formation of inflammable
gas/air mixtures in the room where the appliance is located in the
event of a leak in the refrigerant circuit. The quantity of refrigerant
used in your appliance is indicated on the type plate on the inside
of the appliance.

Connecting to the mains

Power supply (a.c.) and voltage at the operating point must comply
with the details on the type plate which is located in the refrigerator
compartment on the left-hand side next to the vegetable bins. The
socket must be fused with a 10 A fuse or higher. The socket should
be easily accessible and not directly behind the appliance.
Connect the appliance with a properly earthed fused plug
and socket only.

Notes on energy saving

• Do not set up the appliance close to a radiator or oven; protect
from direct sunlight.
• Ensure that the refrigeration unit is well ventilated.
• Avoid opening the door unnecessarily for long periods of
time.
• Allow hot food to cool to room temperature before storing it in
the appliance.

Switching the appliance on and off

You are recommended to clean the appliance before switching it
on for the first time (see "Cleaning").
Turn the temperature control T clockwise from "0" to "1". The ap-
pliance is now switched on and the interior light comes on. The
appliance is switched off at the "0" setting.

Cool Plus

Turn on switch ➃ on the
temperature control housing
for operation at low room
temperatures os 18°C or be-
low. The warning light in the
switch comes on. This guarantees
the necessary low temperatures in the freezer
compartment.
It is not necessary to turn on the switch at normal room tem-
peratures (above 18°C).

Setting the temperature

Turn the temperature control T to set the desired temperature.
Setting "1" = lowest cooling setting, highest temperature
Setting "7" = highest cooling setting, lowest temperature
When storing pre-frozen food in the freezer compartment, we
recommend a temperature setting of between 4 and 7, in order
to achieve temperatures of -18°C or lower inside the compart-
ment.
