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

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 Centre, and only genuine

ª

It is dangerous to alter the specifications or
modify this product in any way.

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

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 Centre and always insist on
genuine spare parts.

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.
