Need help?Do you have a question about the Electrolux EUN 12300 and is the answer not in the manual?
This document is an instruction manual for an Electrolux freezer, identified as a "Gefrierschrank / freezer" in German and English. The model number is EUN 12300, and the document reference is 2222 724-91. It provides comprehensive information for both the user and the installer.
The Electrolux EUN 12300 is a domestic freezer designed for the storage of edible foodstuffs. It is marked with the **** symbol, indicating its suitability for freezing fresh food and long-term storage of frozen food. The appliance features a control panel with a thermostat control knob, a pilot light (green), a fast freeze light (yellow), a fast freeze switch (which also stops the acoustic alarm), and a warning light (red). It incorporates an acoustic alarm to signal when the internal temperature rises to a level that jeopardizes safe food storage. The freezer is equipped with trays for ice-cube production. For built-in models, specific instructions are provided for integration into kitchen units.
The freezer operates within specific ambient temperature classes: T (+18°C to +43°C), ST (+18°C to +38°C), N (+16°C to +32°C), and SN (+10°C to +32°C). The specific class for a given appliance is found on its rating plate. The maximum amount of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is also indicated on the rating plate. The appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling unit, emphasizing that maintenance and recharging must be performed by authorized technicians. It complies with EEC Directives 87/308 (radio interference suppression), 73/23 (Low Voltage Directive), and 89/336 (Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive). For built-in installations, the recess dimensions are 880 mm height, 550 mm depth, and 560 mm width, with a required ventilation duct of 50 mm depth and 540 mm width, ensuring a minimum ventilation area of 200 cm². The appliance must be earthed, and the power supply cable plug is designed with a contact for this purpose.
Before initial use, the interior and accessories should be cleaned with lukewarm water and neutral soap. The thermostat control knob (2) regulates the temperature, with settings from "0" (off) to "6" (coldest). A medium setting is recommended for safe storage at -18°C or colder. The pilot light (1) indicates power, and the warning light (5) flashes, accompanied by an acoustic alarm, if the internal temperature is too high (warmer than -12°C). The fast freeze function, activated by button (4), rapidly lowers the temperature and is indicated by the yellow light (3). This function automatically switches off after 52 hours if not manually deactivated. The freezing calendar on the drawers provides guidance on storage times for different types of frozen goods. Fresh foods should be placed in the top two compartments for freezing, and the fast freeze mode should be activated several hours (3 hours if the appliance was off, 24 hours if already running) before adding food. Frozen food should not be refrozen once thawed. In case of a power failure, the freezer door should remain closed to maintain temperature for up to 20 hours if the freezer is full. Drawers can be removed by tilting them upwards. Ice-cube trays should be filled with water and placed in the freezer; metallic instruments should not be used to remove them.
Regular maintenance includes periodic cleaning of the interior with warm water and bicarbonate of soda, avoiding metal objects or abrasive powders. The ventilation grille at the base should be cleaned annually with a vacuum cleaner to ensure safe operation. Defrosting is necessary when frost thickness exceeds 1/4 inch, using the provided plastic scraper. For complete defrosting, all food should be removed, wrapped, and stored in a cool place. The thermostat knob should be turned to "■" (off), the door left open, and a basin placed to collect defrost water. After defrosting, the interior should be thoroughly dried, and the appliance run in "fast freeze" mode for at least two hours before replacing food. For long periods of non-operation, the appliance should be unplugged, emptied, defrosted, cleaned, and the door left ajar to prevent odors. Any electrical work or servicing must be carried out by qualified electricians or authorized service centers using genuine spare parts. The manufacturer explicitly declines responsibility if safety precautions are not observed. The appliance is designed for recycling, and information on local disposal sites can be obtained from municipal authorities.
