Unpacking
ENVIRONMENT
Most of the packing materials are
recyclable. Please dispose of those
materials through your local recycling depot
or by placing them in appropriate collection
containers.
Important – check for any damages or marks.
If you find the refrigerator is damaged or marked, you
must report it within 7 days should you wish to claim
for damage/ marks under the manufacturers warranty.
This does not aect your statutory rights.
Clean the refrigerator thoroughly according to
instruction, and wipe away any dust that has
accumulated during shipping.
Check that the floor is level. If it is not then adjust the
provided leveling leg so product is level and stable.
We recommend that you let your refrigerator run for
two to three hours before you put any food in it. This
will allow you to check that it is operating properly and
that enough cool air is going to the freezer.
Clearance around your refrigerator.
Allow a minimum of 30mm clearance on both sides
of the refrigerator.
Allow 50mm clearance at the back of the
refrigerator.
Allow a minimum of 10mm clearance above the
hinge cover.
If you do not have a cupboard with allowance for
air flow above the refrigerator, the recommended
clearance area on top increases to 90 mm.
When positioned in a corner area, spacing a
minimum of X mm (Distance depends on the model
as per the table above) on the hinge side will allow
the doors to open enough to enable the removal of
bins and shelves.

good indication that your freezer is the right
temperature, while checking the temperature
of water kept in the refrigerator is a good
way of checking the temperature of the food
compartment.
Temperatures inside each compartment may
vary, depending on how much food you store
and where you place it.

Refrigerators work by transferring heat from the food
inside to the outside air. This operation makes the
back and sides of the refrigerator feel warm or even
hot particularly at start-up and on warm days – this is
normal.
Avoid placing food against the air vents
in the refrigerator as it aects ecient circulation.
If the door is opened frequently, a light frosting will
occasionally occur on the freezer’s interior. This is
normal and will clear after a few days. If the freezer
door is accidentally kept open, a heavy frost will coat
the inside walls and should be removed.
Your new refrigerator uses a high-speed compressor,
along with other energy-ecient components, which
may make unusual sounds and be more noticeable at
night and quieter times. These sounds simply indicate
your refrigerator is working how it should. They include:
Compressor running noises; modern high-eciency
compressor run much faster than older models.
Air movement noise from the small fan motor;
A gurgling sound, similar to water boiling;
A popping noise, heard during automatic defrosting;
and
A clicking noise, prior to compressor start-up.
Further details can be found in the Troubleshooting
Guide.
IMPORTANT
Ensure all freezer drawers and shelves are
pushed back completely to prevent them from
keeping the door open.

Your VCM refrigerator is manufactured from mark-
resistant stainless steel. This stainless steel has a
special advanced protective coating that eases the
removal of marks such as fingerprints and water
spots. To keep its appearance, clean it regularly with
lukewarm soapy water and a soft cloth.
CAUTION
To clean a crisper or freezer bin with
telescopic extension slides, simply wipe with
a damp cloth and warm soapy water. Never
immerse the cover in water, as this could
aect the operation of the slide.
Interior
Clean the inside of your refrigerator regularly with a
soft cloth, unscented mild soap and lukewarm water.
Thoroughly dry all surfaces and removable parts and
avoid getting water on the controls. Replace removable
parts, plug power cord in and switch the power on
before returning the food.
Water Tank Assembly
Clean the inside of the water tank regularly with a
soft cloth, unscented mild soap and rinse thoroughly
with lukewarm water to completely remove any soap
residue.
Door seals
Always keep door seals clean by washing them with
a mild detergent and warm water, followed by a
thorough drying.
Sticky food and drink can cause seals to stick to the
cabinet and tear when you open the door.
CAUTION
Never use hot water, solvents, commercial
kitchen cleaners, aerosol cleaners, metal
polishes, caustic or abrasive cleaners, or
scourers to clean your refrigerator. Many
commercially available cleaning products and
detergents contain solvents that will damage
your refrigerator. Use only a soft cloth with an
unscented mild soap and lukewarm water.
To clean a crisper or freezer bin with

8. TROUBLESHOOTING
CONCERN WHAT TO DO
Refrigerator is too warm Adjust the refrigerator to a colder setting
Ensure food is allowed to cool before placing inside the refrigerator.
Ensure the appliance is set up as per instructions
Ensure that contents are not obstructing the cooling vents.
Ensure the door is not held open or is being opened too frequently.
Freezer is too warm Adjust temperature to a colder setting.
Ensure food is allowed to cool before placing inside the freezer.
Ensure the appliance is set up as per instructions
Ensure that contents are not obstructing the cooling vents.
Ensure the door is not held open or is being opened too frequently.
Food is freezing in the
refrigerator
Adjust temperature to a less cold setting.
Ensure that fruit and vegetables are stored in the crisper. Items with a
high water content should not be placed near the cooling vents.
Unable to change temperature
settings
Refer to sections “temperature control” .
Appliance does not operate at desired temperature
In a modern frost free refrigerator / freezer, cold air is circulated around the various compartments through air vents
using a high eciency fan.
Appliance noise
Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn’t make. Because the sounds are new to you, you
might be concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces, like the floor, walls and
cabinets, can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are. The following describes the kinds of sounds and
what may be making them.
CONCERN WHAT TO DO
Motor noise (compressor) Nothing. This is normal as your new refrigerator uses a high-speed
compressor which switches on and o during operation.
Note : that the compressor noise may seem louder at the start of the on
cycle.
Motor noise (compressor); These refrigerators are fitted with a variable speed compressor and fan. At
start up and on warm days they run at a higher speed to provide additional
cooling. When less cooling is required the compressor and fan will run at a
lower speed. As a result it is normal for sound levels to change depending on
operating conditions.
A clicking noise heard just
before the compressor starts.
Nothing. This is normal as your new refrigerator has an automatic switching
action of the temperature control, turning the compressor on and o.
Occasional gurgling, similar to
water boiling.
Nothing. As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the
refrigerant flowing in your refrigerator system.
Nothing, this is normal as your new refrigerator uses high eciency fans to
circulate air. Fan speed and noise may increase during periods of heavy usage
or hot weather.
Airflow noise. Nothing, this is normal as your new refrigerator uses high eciency fans to
circulate air. Fan speed and noise may increase during periods of heavy usage
or hot weather.

Refrigerator operation
Crisper Operation
CONCERN WHAT TO DO
Excess moisture build up in
crisper
It is normal for there to be some
moisture and humidity in the
crisper bin.
Ensure that the crisper is not over packed.
Adjust crisper humidity slides.
Crisper bin can not be removed If crisper bin interferes with the door bins, remove door bins before
removing crisper.
Position cabinet so that the door can be fully opened.
Freezing items in the crisper Adjust temperature to a less cold setting.
CONCERN WHAT TO DO
Appliance will not run
It is normal for the freezer
fan not to operate during the
automatic defrost cycle, or for a
short time after the appliance is
switched on.
Ensure that the cord is plugged into a live power outlet and outlet is
switched on.
Ensure that the household circuit breaker has not tripped or that the fuse
has not blown.
The appliance maybe in defrost mode, check again in half an hour.
Compressor motor seems to
run too long
At normal room temperatures,
expect your motor to run about
40% to 80% of the time. Under
warmer conditions, expect it to
run more often.
Ensure that the doors are not held open.
Check that large amounts of warm food have not just been placed inside
the appliance.
Note that the appliance will run more than normal just after you install it
or when adjusting the temperature setting changes.
Compressor motor seems
to run too long . These
appliances use a variable speed
compressor, which by design
can run for long periods of time,
this is normal
The variable speed compressor and fan that at start up and on warm
days, runs at high speeds to provide additional cooling. When less cooling
is required the compressor and fan will run at a lower speed, but still may
not switch o. This is normal.
It is possible that the only time the compressor and fan will stop is when
the refrigerator is defrosting which is approximately once per day.
CONCERN WHAT TO DO
Rattling and other noises. Ensure that the cabinet is level and stable, refer to Installation Instructions
Check the surrounds of the appliance to ensure there is nothing touching or
placed on top of the appliance.
Ensure that contents of the appliance are not placed in such a way that
they are vibrating (such as bottles).

Automatic Ice Maker system
CONCERN WHAT TO DO
Ice maker is not making any ice. Ensure that the Ice Maker is switched on at the user interface refer to
About the User Interface” for details.
Ensure water tank is full and contains clean water (if liquids other than
clean water have been used, call Electrolux Customer Care).
Ensure water tank is securely pushed into pump housing.
The ice maker is designed
to produce a tray of ice
approximately every 2 hours,
depending on the conditions.
If the freezer compartment is too warm, refer to “freezer is too warm”
then wait 24 hours for the freezer to reach ideal temperature.
Turn the unit o at the mains and leave for 2 minutes then turn the
appliance back on (this will reset the ice maker unit). Check for ice
production after 24 hours.
Check that there is no obstruction under the ice maker and ensure the ice
bin is fitted correctly.
Ice has bad odour or taste Cover food to ensure ice does not absorb foreign odours.
Interior of appliance or ice bin may require cleaning, refer to “Cleaning
your refrigerator”.
Discard stale ice monthly and allow ice maker to produce a fresh supply.
CONCERN WHAT TO DO
The exterior of the appliance is
warm or hot to touch
This is normal because the
appliance transfers heat from
the inside out through the outer
panels and the divider between
the doors.
Ensure the appliance has the external clearances recommended in the
section “Installing your new appliance”.
The exterior of the cabinet will be much warmer on warmer days it may
even feel hot to touch, as the appliance is working harder.
When your appliance is not
operating
Check that the power cord is plugged into the power outlet properly and
that the outlet is switched on.
Try running another appliance from the same power outlet. If no power
is coming out from the outlet, you may have a blown fuse or tripped your
household power supply circuit.
Try adjusting the temperature control to a slightly colder position.
It is normal for the freezer fan to NOT operate during the automatic
defrost cycle or for a short time after the refrigerator is turned on.
When there is refrigerator noise Your refrigerator uses energy ecient components that may produce
dierent noises from your old refrigerator.
Occasionally, a gurgling sound of the refrigerant flowing or the sound of
parts contracting or expanding may be heard.
These sounds are quite normal. If the refrigerator is rattling or making
vibrating noises, check that it is level and adjust levelling foot.
If there are odours inside the
refrigerator
The interior may need cleaning.
Some foods may produce strong odours and need to be tightly sealed.

EN
Door operation
CONCERN WHAT TO DO
Freezer door pops open. This is normal and should re-close. This happens when the refrigerator
door is closed too quickly.
If the freezer door stays open, it indicates that the appliance needs to
be tilted backwards a little further. Refer to section “Installing your new
appliance”.
Self close not working. Check if your appliance has self closing hinges as not all models do.
It indicates that the appliance needs to be tilted backwards a little further.
Refer to section “Installing your new appliance”.
Door not sealing properly Ensure there is nothing that is preventing the door from closing such as
appliance contents or items placed near the appliance.
Ensure that the crisper/freezer bin is closed completely. Refit if required
as referred to in the section “Using your refrigerator”.
Ensure the appliance is set up as per recommendations.
Door dicult to open and close If the door is dicult to open just after you have closed it this is due to the
pressure equalising, the door will open normally after a few minutes.
If you still require service
If you have a problem, and the problem persists after you have made the checks mentioned, contact your nearest
Electrolux approved Service Centre or the dealer you bought the refrigerator from. Be ready to quote the model
number, the 9-digit PNC and 8-digit serial number, which is stated on the label inside the refrigerator compartment.
