WARNINGS

IT IS MOST IMPORTANT THAT THIS INSTRUCTION

BOOK SHOULD BE RETAINED WITH THE APPLIANCE

FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. SHOULD THE APPLIANCE

BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED TO ANOTHER OWNER, OR

SHOULD YOU MOVE HOUSE AND LEAVE THE

APPLIANCE, ALWAYS ENSURE THAT THE BOOK IS

SUPPLIED WITH THE APPLIANCE IN ORDER THAT

THE NEW OWNER CAN GET TO KNOW THE

FUNCTIONING OF THE APPLIANCE AND THE

RELEVANT WARNINGS.

THESE WARNINGS ARE PROVIDED IN THE INTEREST

OF SAFETY. YOU MUST READ THEM CAREFULLY

BEFORE INSTALLING OR USING THE APPLIANCE.

ª This appliance is designed to be operated by

adults. Children should not be allowed to tamper

with the controls or play with the product.

ª Any electrical work required to install this

appliance should be carried out by a qualified

electrician or competent person.

ª This product should be serviced by an authorised

ZANUSSI Service Force Centre, and only

genuine spare parts should be used.

ª It is dangerous to alter the specifications or

modify this product in any way.

ª Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance

does not stand on the electrical supply cable.

ª ZANUSSI domestic refrigerators, freezers and

fridge/freezers are designed to be used

specifically for the storage of edible foodstuffs

only.

ª There are working parts in this product which

heat up. Always ensure that there is adequate

ventilation as a failure to do this will result in

possible food loss. See installation instructions.

ª Parts which heat up should not be exposed.

Wherever possible, the back of the appliance

should be close to a wall but leaving the required

distance for ventilation as stated in the

installation instructions.

ª Before defrosting, cleaning or maintenance work

is carried out, be sure to switch off the appliance

and unplug it.

ª Frozen food must NOT be re-frozen once it has

thawed out.

ª Do not place carbonated or fizzy drinks in the

freezer as it creates pressure on the container,

which may cause it to explode, resulting in

damage to the appliance.

ª The cooling plate or refrigerated freezer shelves

in this appliance contain channels through which

the refrigerant passes. If these are punctured

this would cause substantial damage to the

appliance and result in food loss. DO NOT USE

SHARP INSTRUMENTS to scrape off frost or

ice. Under NO circumstances should solid ice be

forced off the lining or shelves. Solid ice should be

allowed to thaw, when defrosting the appliance.

See Defrost instructions.

ª The appliance should be left for 2 hours after

installation before it is turned on in order to allow

the refrigerant to settle.

ª This appliance is heavy. Care should be taken

when moving it.

ª Do not remove items from the freezer if your

hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin

abrasions or “frost/freezer burns”.

ª Ice lollies can cause “frost/freezer burns” if

consumed straight from the freezer.

ª Manufacturers’ storage recommendations should

be strictly adhered to. Refer to relevant

instructions.

ª Under no circumstances should you attempt to

repair the appliance yourself. Repairs carried out

by inexperienced persons may cause injury or

serious malfunctioning. Refer to your local

ZANUSSI Service Force Centre and always

insist on genuine spare parts.

measure not be observed.

If the plug that is fitted to your appliance is not

suitable for your socket outlet, it must be cut off and

the appropriate plug fitted.

Remove the fuse from the cut off plug.

The cut off plug should then be disposed of to

prevent the hazard of shocks in case it should be

plugged into a 13amp socket in another part of your

home.

Important

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in

accordance with the following code:

Green and Yellow - Earth

Blue - Neutral

Brown - Live

If you fit your own plug, the colours of the wires in

the mains lead of your appliance may not

correspond with the markings identifying the

terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

Fig. 1

Connect the Green and Yellow (earth) wire to the

terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter

«E» or the earth symbol , or coloured green and

yellow.

Connect the blue (neutral) wire to the terminal in

the plug which is marked with the letter «N» or

coloured black.

Connect the brown (live) wire to the terminal in the

plug which is marked with the letter «L» or

coloured red.

The plug moulded onto the lead incorporates a fuse.

For replacement, use a 13amp BSI362 fuse. Only
