SAFETY INFORMATION
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 left with the appliance in order that the new owner can get to
know the functioning of the appliance and the relevant safety information.
This information has been provided in the interest of safety. You MUST read them carefully before
installing or using the appliance.
Installation
n This text affects appliances with gas R600a only.
The refrigeration circuit contains isobutane
(R600a), which is a natural gas noted for its
excellent ecological properties. In the event of a
mechanical rupture causing a leak, this gas could
ignite if naked flames or sparks are present. For
this reason do not use electrical appliances inside
the refrigerator, and do not place heating
equipment or other sources of heat using naked
flames inside or close to the refrigerator. The
refrigerant is heavier than air and for this reason
would be concentrated at the bottom of the
appliance. In the event of a gas leak air the room
thoroughly.
n This appliance is heavy. Care should be taken
when moving it.
n It is dangerous to alter the specifications or
attempt to modify this product in any way.
n Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance
does not stand on the electrical supply cable.
n Any electrical work required to install this
appliance should be carried out by a qualified
electrician or competent person.
n This appliance should be left for 4 hours after
installation before it is turned on in order to allow
the refrigerant to settle.
n 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.
n 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.
Child Safety
n This appliance is designed to be operated by
adults. Children should not be allowed to tamper
with the controls or play with the product.
During Use
n Zanussi domestic refrigerators, freezers and
fridge/freezers are designed to be used
specifically for the storage of edible foodstuffs
only.
n Before defrosting, cleaning or maintenance work
is carried out, be sure to switch off the appliance
and unplug it.
n Frozen food should NOT be refrozen once it has
thawed out.
n 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.
n Ice lollies can cause «frost/freezer burns» if
consumed straight from the freezer.
n Do not remove items from the freezer
compartment if your hands are damp/wet, as this
could cause skin abrasions or «frost/freezer
burns».
n The cooling plate or refrigerated freezer shelves
in this appliance contain channels through which
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.
n Manufacturers recommended storage times
should be adhered to. Refer to relevant
instructions.
n This product should be serviced by an authorised
engineer, and only genuine Zanussi spare parts
should be used.
n Under no circumstances should you attempt to
repair the machine yourself. Repairs carried out
by inexperienced persons may cause injury or
serious malfunctioning. Contact your local
Zanussi Service Force Centre.
For Maximum Efficiency
n Make sure that the appliance is cleaned properly.
n Make sure that the door is closed properly.
n Do not position the appliance near to sources of
heat.
n Do not over-fill your appliance, air MUST be
allowed to circulate.
n Do not open the door for longer than is absolutely
necessary, as warm air will enter the appliance.
In the interests of the Environment
When disposing of your old fridge, freezer or
fridge/freezer:
n Help to keep your country tidy - use authorised
disposal sites for your old appliance
n If you are discarding an old appliance that has a
lock or catch on the door, you must ensure that it
is made unusable to prevent young children
being trapped inside.
Check with your local Council or Environment Health
Office to see if there are facilities in your area for recycling this appliance.

INSTALLATION
Before using
Remove all securing tapes. Wash inside the appliance
with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda (5 ml. to
0.5 litre of water). Do not use soap or detergent as the
smell may linger.
Dry thoroughly.
Positioning
When the appliance is sited in its chosen position,
ensure that it is both level and stable and there is
adequate ventilation to the back, and top of the
appliance.
For this appliance to work efficiently, it should be
located away from heat sources, e.g. cookers,
radiators, boilers, direct sunlight, etc. This also
includes locations or rooms where the ambient
temperature reaches above 32°C or drops below
10°C.
You should also ensure that air can circulate freely
around the back and at the top of the cabinet. There
must also be at least 50 mm. (2) distance between
the top of the cabinet and any overhanging kitchen
furniture. See Fig. 2.
Climate classification for an ambient temperature of
SN + 10 to + 32°C
N + 16 to + 32°C
ST + 18 to + 38°C
T + 18 to + 43°C
Levelling
Your appliance will be heavy when loaded with food
and must therefore be stood on a strong firm floor. It
should be level. Adjust the level of the appliance by
screwing out the adjustable feet, at the bottom of the
cabinet using your fingers.
Make sure the appliance is upright and both adjusters
are in firm contact with the floor so that the cabinet is
level and does not rock in any direction. See fig. 3.
Fig. 3
The climate classification can be found on the serial
plate, which is located at the left on the inside of the
appliance.
The following table shows which ambient temperature
is correct for each climate classification:
The appliance should be left for 4 hours after
installation before it is turned on, in order to allow the
refrigerant to settle. After switching on the appliance
leave for approx 4 hours for the correct temperature to
be reached, before placing food inside.
