This document is a user manual for an Electrolux LNT6TE18S5 fridge freezer, providing comprehensive information on its installation, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting.

The appliance is designed for storing food and beverages in a single household domestic environment. It can also be used in offices, hotel guest rooms, bed & breakfast guest rooms, farm guest houses, and similar accommodations where usage levels do not exceed average domestic use. The fridge freezer is designed to be installed in a built-in structure.

Function Description

The Electrolux LNT6TE18S5 is a fridge freezer, meaning it has two main compartments: a refrigerator for fresh food and a freezer for frozen food. The refrigerator compartment is equipped with a DYNAMICAIR device that allows for rapid cooling and maintains a more uniform temperature. The freezer compartment is frost-free, eliminating the need for manual defrosting.

Usage Features

The appliance features a control panel with a display that allows users to regulate the temperature of both the fridge and freezer compartments. Recommended temperatures are +4°C for the fridge and -18°C for the freezer, though the range can be adjusted from 2°C to 8°C for the fridge and -15°C to -24°C for the freezer.

Several special functions enhance usability:

FastCool function: This feature is useful for rapidly chilling large amounts of warm food, such as after grocery shopping, to prevent warming other food already in the refrigerator. It automatically stops after approximately 6 hours.
Holiday mode: This mode allows the fridge compartment to remain empty during long holiday periods, reducing bad odors, while the freezer compartment continues to operate normally. It switches off automatically if a different temperature is selected.
FastFreeze function: This function pre-freezes and fast-freezes food in the freezer compartment, accelerating the freezing of fresh food and protecting already stored foodstuffs from undesirable warming. It is recommended to activate this function at least 24 hours before placing fresh food in the freezer. It stops automatically after 52 hours.
DYNAMICAIR function: This device in the refrigerator compartment ensures rapid cooling and uniform temperature. It activates automatically when needed or can be switched on manually.
ChildLock function: This feature locks the control panel buttons to prevent unintentional operation.
DrinksChill function: This function sets an acoustic alarm for a preferred time, useful for cooling food products for a specific duration or as a reminder for items placed in the freezer for fast cooling. The timer can be set from 1 to 90 minutes.

The appliance also includes alarm features:

High temperature alarm: Activates if the freezer compartment temperature increases (e.g., due to a power failure). The alarm sounds, and the freezer temperature indicators flash. The sound can be muted by pressing any button, but the alarm indicator continues to flash until normal conditions are restored.
Door open alarm: Activates if the fridge door is left open for approximately 5 minutes. The alarm sounds, and the alarm indicator flashes. The alarm stops when the door is closed or can be muted by pressing any button.

Internal storage is flexible, with movable door shelves that can be adjusted to accommodate different package sizes. The refrigerator also has a two-part shelf that can be folded to make better use of space. Special drawers in the bottom part are provided for storing fruits and vegetables.

Maintenance Features

Regular cleaning is essential for maintaining the appliance. The interior and accessories should be cleaned with lukewarm water and a neutral soap, then rinsed and dried thoroughly. Door seals should be checked and wiped clean regularly. A tube cleaner is provided to periodically clean the defrost water drain hole in the refrigerator compartment to prevent water overflow.

The appliance is equipped with a CleanAir carbon filter located in a drawer inside the DYNAMICAIR device. This filter purifies the air from unwanted odors in the fridge compartment, improving food storage quality. The filter should be changed once every year.

The freezer compartment is frost-free, so manual defrosting is not required. The refrigerator compartment automatically defrosts, with water draining into a special container at the back of the appliance where it evaporates.

For periods of non-operation, users are advised to disconnect the appliance, remove all food, clean the interior and accessories, and leave the doors open to prevent unpleasant smells.

The appliance is equipped with a long-life LED interior light. Replacement of the lighting device should only be performed by a service professional.

The manual also provides hints and tips for energy saving, freezing fresh food, storing frozen food, and general food refrigeration, including recommended shelf life for various food types in the freezer compartment.
