This document is a user manual for the Electrolux ELT9VE52U0 Fridge Freezer, providing instructions for installation, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting.

Function Description

The Electrolux ELT9VE52U0 is a fridge freezer designed for storing food and beverages in a single household domestic indoor environment. It features separate compartments for refrigeration and freezing, including specialized drawers for optimal food preservation. The appliance uses isobutane (R600a) as a refrigerant, a natural gas with high environmental compatibility. It is equipped with an automatic defrosting system for the refrigerator compartment and a fan for rapid cooling and uniform temperature distribution. The appliance also includes a MultiSwitch+ compartment that can function as either a chilling or refrigerating compartment, or a freezer compartment, depending on the user's needs.

Usage Features

The fridge freezer offers a range of features to enhance usability and food preservation:

Temperature Regulation: Users can set the temperature for the fridge compartment (2°C to 8°C), freezer compartment (-14°C to -22°C), and MultiSwitch+ compartment (5°C to -3°C) using dedicated keys on the control panel. A medium setting is generally recommended. The fridge compartment can also be turned off.
Control Panel: The appliance features a control panel with a temperature indicator, keys for regulating fridge, MultiSwitch+, and freezer temperatures, a Mode key, and a Child Lock key.
Specialized Compartments:
- Fresh Zone Drawer: Designed to protect nutrients, taste, texture, color, and weight of fruits and vegetables, extending their shelf life. It is located below the Extra Zone and next to the Chill Zone 0 degree drawer.
- Chill Zone 0 Degree Drawer: Marked with "0 Star," this drawer is suitable for storing fresh food like fish, meat, and seafood, preserving their high nutritional values. It provides an environment independent from the rest of the fridge.
- Extra Zone Drawer: Offers better accessibility and visibility for organizing the fridge, located above the Fresh Zone and Chill Zone 0 degree drawers.
- MultiSwitch+ Compartment: A versatile compartment that can be set to different temperatures (5°C to -3°C) to function as a fridge fresh food compartment (4°C) or a freezer 4-star compartment (-18°C).
Super Freezing Function: This function accelerates the freezing of fresh food and protects already stored foodstuffs from warming. It sets the freezer compartment to -25°C and automatically stops after 50 hours. It should be activated at least 24 hours before placing fresh food for pre-freezing.
ECO Mode: Ensures good food preservation with minimal energy consumption, ideal for periods of non-operation. In this mode, the fridge is set to 6°C and the freezer to -16°C.
Child Lock Function: Locks the control panel keys to prevent unintentional operation. It activates automatically after 20 seconds of no operation and deactivates if power is interrupted.
Door Open Alarm: An audible alarm sounds if a fridge door is left open for approximately 1 minute. The alarm stops when the door is closed and switches off automatically after about 10 minutes to avoid disturbance.
High Temperature Alarm: Triggers if the freezer compartment reaches a temperature higher than -6°C, displaying "ht" and sounding an acoustic alarm. It can be turned off by checking and closing doors, or manually lowering the temperature.
Movable Shelves: The refrigerator compartment walls are equipped with runners, allowing shelves to be positioned as desired. However, the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer should not be moved to ensure correct air circulation.
Temperature Indicator: A symbol on the side wall indicates the coldest area in the refrigerator. "OK" indicates proper temperature for fresh food storage; "B" indicates a need to adjust to a colder setting.
Storage Recommendations: The manual provides detailed hints for freezing fresh food, storing frozen food, and refrigerating fresh food, including packaging advice, temperature settings, and shelf life guidelines for various food types.

Maintenance Features

The appliance is designed for ease of care and cleaning:

Cleaning the Interior: Before first use and periodically, the interior and all accessories should be washed with lukewarm water and neutral soap, then dried thoroughly. Abrasive products, chlorine, or oil-based cleaners should not be used. Accessories are not suitable for dishwashers.
Door Shelf Removal/Installation: Instructions are provided for easily removing and reinstalling door shelves for cleaning or reorganization.
Defrosting: The refrigerator compartment automatically defrosts, with meltwater draining into a special container at the back of the appliance where it evaporates.
Periods of Non-Operation: For long periods of disuse, users should disconnect the appliance, remove all food, clean the interior and accessories, and leave the doors open to prevent unpleasant smells.
Door Gaskets: Regular checking and cleaning of door seals are recommended to ensure they are free from debris and function correctly.
LED Interior Light: The appliance is equipped with a long-life LED interior light. Replacement of the lighting device should only be performed by an authorized service center.
