IS MADE UNUSABLE TO PREVENTYOUNG
CHILDREN BEING TRAPPED INSIDE.

Depending upon the position which you choose
for your appliance, you may wish to reverse the
way in which the door opens. To do this, refer to
instructions on “Door reversal directions”
paragraph.

Positioning

This appliance is designed to operate in
ambient temperatures between 10°C (50°F) and
32°C (90°F). It should be located in a dry
atmosphere, out of direct sunlight and away
from extreme temperature e.g. not next to a
cooker or other sources of direct heat, or in a
very cold room e.g. an outhouse, where the
temperatures may fall below 10°C (50°F). If
these temperatures are exceeded i.e. colder or
warmer, then the appliance may not operate
correctly.

You should also ensure that air can circulate
freely around the back and the top of the
cabine”. There must also be at least 100 mm
(4”) distance between the top of the cabinet and
any overhanging kitchen furniture (Fig. 1-A).
Ideally, the appliance should not be positioned
beneath overhanging furniture (Fig. 1-B).

There should also be a gap of 25 mm either
side of the appliance. Do not obstruct the space
underneath. The back of the cabinet may be
placed close to the wall but must not touch it.
DO NOT install in places with restricted
ventilation.

Adjust the level of the appliance by screwing
out the adjustable foot, or feet, at the bottom of
the cabinet using your fingers or a spanner (see
Fig. 2).

Rear spacers

The plastic bag containing all relevant
documentation also contains two spacers to be
fitted into special holes in the back of the

Refrigerator/Freezer - Starting-up
and temperature regulation

Insert the plug into the wall socket. Open the
refrigerator door and turn the thermostat knob, to
be found on the upper right side of the inner liner,
clockwise, from the «O» position, to start the
appliance. Temperature adjustment is obtained by
turning the thermostat knob to the required
setting. Amedium setting of between 2-4 is
generally the most suitable. However, the
thermostat knob setting should be adjusted
depending on the temperature required inside the
appliance. This, in turn, depends on a number of
factors such as the ambient temperature, the
number of times the door is opened, the quantity
of food stored and the location of the appliance.
Turn the knob clockwise, to higher numbers, to
obtain a lower temperature, or anticlockwise if a
higher temperature is required.

Important

If the fridge is not defrosting correctly, it is
possible that because a very low temperature has
been selected, the motor is working continuously,
which prevents the defrost cycle from operating.
To ensure correct defrosting, a lower number
should be selected on the thermostat and you
should notice that the motor cuts out from time to
time, which is correct.
If you wish to return to a lower temperature, turn
the thermostat to a higher number, however you
should turn the setting lower occasionally to allow
automatic defrosting.

The freezer compartment

The four-star freezer compartment is suitable for
storage of commercially frozen food and for
freezing fresh foods.

Temperature control

The temperature within the freezer is controlled
by the same thermostat which controls the
temperature within the fridge. Normally, it is not
necessary to adjust the thermostat setting when
freezing fresh food.

Freezing fresh food

In any 24 hours you can freeze up to 4 kg.
Place food to be frozen on the shelf of the freezer
as this is the coldest part.
The food to be frozen must be fresh and of the
best quality.
The size of each pack should be small enough to
ensure that it is used in one go. Small packs

freeze quickly.
Frozen food, once thawed, must not be refrozen.
Lean food keeps better and longer than fatty
food, salt reduces the storage time.
Wrap the food in polythene or aluminium freezing
bags or foil so that they adhere to the food and
provide an airtight seal. Stick a label on each
pack showing the contents and date of freezing.
This makes it easy to check storage times.
Never place hot food, bottles or cans of fizzy
drink in the freezer as they may explode.
Containers with a lid must not be filled to the
brim.
Do not open the door or place extra fresh food in
the freezer next to food which is already frozen
as this could cause the temperature of the frozen
food to rise and its quality and storage life to
reduce.

Frozen food storage

If the freezer has been out of use for some time,
we advise you to run your appliance for at least
two hours with the thermostat control to the
highest number before storing frozen food.

Storing ready-frozen foods is quite
straightforward. The packs can be placed beside
each other or on top of each other.

You are strongly advised to place ready-frozen
food in the compartment as quickly as possible
after purchase. Also ensure that the external
packaging is intact. Packaging which is swollen
or has traces of refrozen water droplets on the
pack could indicate that the product has not been
kept at a suitable temperature and that it may
have lost its original quality. Partially thawed food
must not be refrozen, it must be consumed within
24 hours. Never exceed the storage times
indicated.

Do not open the freezer door too often and do not
leave open longer than necessary.

Important

Do not consume ice-lollies which have just come
out of the freezer. Their extremely low
temperature can cause frost burns.
Do not remove items from the freezer if your
hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin
abrasione or “frost/freezer burns”.

Caution

In the event of a power cut the food in the freezer
will not be affected if the power cut is short and if
the freezer is full. Do not open the door. Should
the food begin to thaw, it must be consumed
quickly and must not be re-frozen.

Thawing

Food can be thawed in a number of ways,
depending on the type of food and the size of
the packs. Meat, fish and fruit should be thawed
in the refrigeration compartment and small
pieces of meat or poultry can even be cooked
while still frozen, but you must ensure that it is
thoroughly cooked through. Vegetables should
be directly immersed in boiling water; ready­cooked dishes can be placed directly in the
oven in their aluminium wrapping. Amicrowave
oven is particularly suitable for thawing any type
of frozen or deep-frozen food: follow the oven
instructions, particularly regarding the
placement of aluminium wrapping in the oven.

Ice making

Fill the ice trays with water to the top of each ice
cube compartment, and place them in the
freezer compartment. To release the ice cubes,
twist the tray along its length.
Never use a sharp instrument to remove the ice
trays.

Fresh food refrigeration

To obtain the best performance, do not store
warm food or evaporating liquide in the
refrigeratori do cover or wrap the food,
particularly if it has a strong flavour. Do not
cover the shelves with any protective material,
such as paper, cardboard or plastic, which may
obstruct the air circulation through them.
To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here
are some more useful hints:
Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & wild fowl): wrap
in polythene bags and place on top of the salad
crisper.

Meat can only be stored safely in this way
for one or two days at the most.

Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly
cleaned and placed in the bottom salad
crispers.
Butter & cheese: these should be placed in
special airtight containers or wrapped in
aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude as
much air as possible.
Milk bottles: these should have a cap and
should be stored in the bottle rack on the door.

Movable shelves

The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with
runners so that shelves can be positioned as
desired (Fig. 9).
The door shelves can be easy removed for
cleaning (See Fig. 10 and Fig. 11).

HEALTH AND SAFETY GUIDELINES

GB

Because of consumer demand,
preservatives have been removed from
many pre-prepared foods. This together with
the changes in shopping habits to a once-a­week shop, mean that safe handling and
storage of food is even more important than
ever.
The following tips should help you to ensure
that the food in your home is in as perfect
condition as possible.

■

Keep the time between buying chilled food
and placing it in your fridge as short as
possible. Tests showed that the temperature
of 1 1itre of orange juice rose to 22°C in an
hour between the supermarket and home. It
then took 11 hours to get down to 7°C in the
refrigerator.

■

Keep the refrigerator door closed as much as
possible. Remember that warm air is flowing
in as you are deciding what to have for tea!

■

Do not push food together too much, try to
allow air circulate around each item.

■

Cool cooked food as quickly as possible but
do NOT place in the refrigerator or freezer
until cool. (Leave food in a place as cool as
possible in order that it can then be placed in
the refrigerator or freezer as soon as
possible).

■

Do NOT mix raw and cooked meat, they
must be in separate containers. Take care
not to let the meat juices drip onto other
food. If the meat does drip, remove
everything and clean thoroughly.

■

Do not store food uncovered.

■

The best way to defrost food is to put it in the
refrigerator to thaw slowly.

■

Remove suspect food from your refrigerator
and clean the interior with a solution of
bicarbonate of soda in warm water (5ml to

0.5 Iitre of water).

■

Never allow spillages to dry and harden.

■

Ensure that food placed in the freezer is
dated and labelled and used in date order to

ensure that food is consumed at its best.

■

It is important that food is used before its
“best before” date.

■

Store eggs in the egg rack provided in the
refrigerator door. Discard any broken or
chipped eggs.

■

Regularly check the refrigerator door seal to
ensure that it is clean and free from bits and
pieces.

■

Always wash your hands with soapy water
and dry them with a clean towel before
handling food.

■

Keep work surfaces clean and avoid cross
contamination by not using the same work
surface or knife, without washing them
thoroughly in between.

■

Use kitchen roll wherever possible for
cleaning up food. If you use a dishcloth, be
sure to boil it frequently.

Defrosting

Refrigerator

The refrigerator automatically defrosts every time
the compressor stops.

Important

To avoid defrost water overflowing into the fridge,
periodically clean the water discharge hole in the
centre of the V shaped drip collector at the back
of the refrigerator compartment behind the fruit
and vegetable drawer. Use the special cleaner
provided which you will find already inserted into
the discharge hole (Fig.11).

Remember to wash the defrost cleaner in hot
soapy water at regular intervals. Dry thoroughly
before replacing.

Freezer

The freezer compartment will become
progressively covered with frost.

When the frost has reached a thickness of up to
4mm it can be removed using the ice scraper
provided with the appliance. During this operation
it is not necessary to disconnect the appliance
from the mains and remove the food. Never use
metal tools for this operation.

However, when the ice becomes very thick on the
inner liner, complete defrosting should be carried
out.

For complete defrosting (once or twice a year)
proceed as follows:

- turn the thermostat dial to the «OFF» position
(O) or disconnect the appliance from the
mains.

- Remove any food from inside the freezer and
fridge, wrap it in several sheets of newspaper
and store in a cool place.

- Leave the door open, place a basin on the top
shelf of the refrigerator compartment, under
the drain hole, lift the plug as shown in the
figure 12.

- Clean and dry thoroughly.

- Reconnect the appliance to the mains or reset
the thermostat to a functioning position.

- After letting the appliance run for a least half
an hour, replace the previously removed food
into the compartment.

Important

When defrosting the freezer, the fridge is also
controlled by the thermostat and will not be
operational during this period. Atemperature
rise of the frozen food packs, during defrosting,
may shorten their safe storage life.

Attention!
«In the event of a power failure causing the

temperature within your freezer to rise, do
not refreeze the food without checking its
condition. The following guidelines should
assist you.»

Ice-cream: once thawed should be discarded.
Fruits & Vegetables: if soft should be cooked

and used up.

Breads & Cakes: can be re-frozen without

danger.

Shellfish: should be refrigerated and used up
quickly.
Cooked Dishes: i.e. casseroles should be
refrigerated and used up.

Large Pieces of Meat: can be re-frozen
providing there are still ice crystals remaining
within them.

Small Joints: should be cooked and can then
be refrozen as cooked dishes.
Chicken: should also be cooked and re-frozen
as a cooked dish.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Before any maintenance or cleaning work is
carried out, DISCONNECT the appliance from
the ELECTRICITY supply.

Internal cleaning

Clean the inside and accessories with warm
water and bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0.5 litre
of water). Rinse and dry thoroughly.

NEVER USE DETERGENTS, ABRASIVE
POWDERS, HIGHLY PERFUMED
CLEANING PRODUCTS OR WAX
POLISHES, TO CLEAN THE INTERIOR
AS THESE WILL DAMAGE THE
SURFACE AND LEA VE ASTRONG
SMELL.

Clean the drain hole of the water trough at
regular intervals and make sure that the drain
hole is never obstructed, so that the defrost
water may flow freely.

External cleaning

Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water.
Do NOT use abrasive products.

Once or twice a year dust the condenser (black
grill) and the compressor at the back of the
appliance, with a brush or vacuum cleaner, see
Fig.13.

You MUST ensure that the appliance is
switched OFF. An accumulation of dust will
affect the performance of the appliance and
cause excessive electricity consumption.

When the appliance is not in use

When the appliance is not in use for long
periods, disconnect from the electricity supply,
empty all foods and clean the appliance, leaving
the doors ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.

Changing the light bulb

Should the interior light fail to work, first switch
off the appliance and disconnect from the
electricity supply, then replace the bulb as
follows;

unscrew the light cover and then pull it outward
by pressing as shown in the Fig. 14. Unscrew
the bulb and replace it with a new 15 watt bulb
(available from your nearest Zanussi Service
Force Centre).

Replace the light cover by sliding it into its
original position and replacing the screw.

GB

Before contacting your local Tricity Bendix Service Centre, check the following points:

If, after the above checks, there is still a fault, call your local Tricity Bendix Service Centre. Please
make sure you give the model and serial number of the appliance. This information can be found on
the rating plate inside the fridge compartment on the left side behind the salad drawer, or on the
guarantee certificate. Original spare parts can be purchased from Tricity Bendix Service Centres.

In-guarantee customers should ensure that the above checks have been made as the engineer
will make a charge if the fault is not a mechanical or electrical breakdown.
Please note that proof of purchase is required for any in-guarantee service calle.

Before contacting your local Tricity Bendix Service Centre, make a note of the model and serial
number. This information can be found on the rating plate situated inside the cabinet behind the
bottom fridge/freezer drawer.

Check that:

■

There is power at the socket.

■

Ensure that there is not a power cut by
checking the household lights.

■

The fuse has not blown.

■

The air circulation passages are not covered.

■

The thermostat dial is in the correct position.

■

You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds
when the refrigerant is pumped through the
coils of tubing at the rear, to the cooling
plate/evaporator. When the compressor is on,
the refrigerant is being pumped round, and you
will hear a whirring or pulsating noise from the
compressor. A thermostat controls the
compressor, and you will hear a faint “click”
when the thermostat cuts in and out.

■

The defrosting water discharge hole is not
obstructed.

■

The bulb is fitted correctly.

■

Replace the bulb if it has blown.

■

The thermostat setting is not too high (see page

9).

■

Have you turned the thermostat to the correct
setting?

■

Have doors been left open causing the
temperature to rise?

■

Sometimes the freezer door will be difficult to
open shortly after you have closed it. Don’t
worry this is due to pressure difference which
will quickly equalise and allow the door to open
normally.
