OPERATION

GB

Setting the temperature

The temperature inside the refrigerator is regulated by
a thermostat with 6 temperature positions and one
«OFF» (

Position 1 = minimum coldness
Position 6 = maximum coldness

Turn the thermostat dial to the required position; the

intermediate position is usually the most suitable (3-

4).

The thermostat setting can vary as the temperature
inside the refrigerator compartment depends on the
following factors:

– room temperature
– how often the door is opened
– how much food is stored
– position of the appliance

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.

O) position.

Storing deep-frozen foods

The compartment marked reaches a
temperature of –18°C and is therefore suitable for
storing ice-creams and deep-frozen food.

For best use of the compartment, the
following points shoud be noted: ensure that the deep­frozen products have been correctly stored by the
shop-keeper; keep transport times from the shop to
your home to a minimum; do not exceed the storage
period specified by the manufacturer; when the
freezer has not been used for some time; run it for at
least two hours with the thermostat dial set to the
lowest temperature before placing food inside and
then reset to normal operation; do not open the door if
there is a power failure. If the compartment is
full and the failure does not last long, the food will not
be affected; otherwise, you are advised to consume it
soon after.

Ice cubes

Refrigerators with the compartment are
provided with an ice cube tray.
This tray must be filled with drinking water and
placed in the compartment.
Never use metal tools to detach the tray.

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.

HEALTH AND SAFETY GUIDELINES

GB

Because of consumer demand, preservatives have
been removed from many pr e-prepared f oods. This
together with the changes in shopping habits to a
once-a-week 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.

ª Keep the time between buying chilled food and

placing it in your fridge as short as possible. Tests
showed that the temperature of 1 litre 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.

ª 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!

ª Do not push food together too much, try to allow

air to circulate around each item.

ª Cool cooked food as quickly as possible but do

NOT place in the refrigerator until cool. (Leave
food in a place as cool as possible in order that it
can then be placed in the refrigerator as soon as
possible).

ª Remove suspect food from your refrigerator and

clean the interior with a solution of bicarbonate of
soda in warm water (5ml to 0.5 litre of water).

ª Never allow spillages to dry and harden.
ª Store eggs in the egg rack provided in the

refrigerator door. Discard any broken or cracked
eggs.

ª Regularly check the refrigerator door seal to

ensure that it is clean and free from bits and
pieces.

ª Always wash your hands with soapy water and dry

them with a clean towel before handling food.

ª Keep work surfaces clean and avoid cross

contamination by not using the same work surface
or knife, without washing them thoroughly in
between.

ª Use kitchen roll wherever possible for cleaning up

food. If you use a dishcloth, be sure to boil it
frequently.

ª Do NOT mix raw and cooked meat, they must be

in separate containers. T ak e care not to let the meat
juices drip onto other food. If the meat does drip,
remove everything and clean thoroughly.

ª Do not store food uncovered.

16

Fresh food refrigeration

To obtain the best performance, do not store warm
food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator; do
cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong
flavour.
Do not cover the shelves with any protecti v e 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 & game): wrap in
polythene bags and place on top of the salad crispers.

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.

The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with
runners so that shelves can be positioned as desired.

Cool check temperature guide

This model has a cool check temperature guide fitted
to a shelf in the fridge compartment. The guide is
designed to show whether the fridge is operating at
safe temperatures for all food types. The guide
consists of a temperature sensitive strip sealed in the
shelf trim.

When the fridge is operating at the safe temperature
to store food, the guide will appear black. If the
temperature in the fridges rises the guide will show
the words TOO WARM. The temperature in the fridge
may rise if the door has just been opened, the fridge
has just been loaded with shopping or if the room
temperature is higher than normal. See “Everyday use
of the temperature guide” for further information.

The shelf with Cool Check temperature guide must be
placed in the fridge according to the instructions
located on the fridge wall and always ensure the guide
is at the front.

When cleaning the shelf take care not to immerse the
guide in water and wipe any spills from the holder
quickly.

Important

The guide is only suitable for use in the model
supplied and accurate temperature guidance cannot be
guaranteed if transferred to other appliances. The
guide will not work in the freezer compartment.

Starting the appliance

Check that the shelf with the Cool Check is
positioned correctly (as described previously). Close
the door and leave the appliance overnight to allow
the temperature to reach a safe level.
If after waiting overnight the temperature guide still
shows TOO WARM, adjust the thermostat to a higher
number, close the door and allow to stand overnight.
A higher thermostat setting may be required to keep
the fridge temperature at the safe storage level during
warmer weather.
For more information on starting you appliance, see
“Operation”.

Everyday use of the cool check
temperature guide

During everyday use a fridge door is opened many
times and as a result temperature fluctuation may
occur. A Zanussi fridge is designed to cope with any
changes in temperature but under certain conditions
the temperature guide in the appliance may show
TOO WARM.

What to do if the Cool Check temperature guide
shows TOO WARM

The Cool Check guide may show TOO WARM if:

1. The fridge is switched off.
ACTION: Start the appliance in accordance with

the instructions.

2. The fridge door has recently been opened or is
left open for more than approximately one
minute.
ACTION: As mentioned before the temperature

guide is sensitive to changes in fridge temperature
and opening the fridge door for prolonged periods
may cause the guide to show TOO WARM. This
should not cause concern as such fluctuations in
temperature do not generally affect the safe storage
of food.
Leave the fridge door closed for as long as possible
so the temperature returns to a safe level, the guide
should then appear black.

3. The fridge has been loaded with fresh shopping.
ACTION: When fresh shopping or additional

quantities of food are placed in the fridge, the
temperature may rise and cause the guide to show
TOO WARM.
Do not adjust the thermostat as the time taken for
the guide to appear black will depend on the
quantity and the temperature of food introduced.

4. The fridge temperature is above the
recommended maximum for the safe storage of
all food types.
ACTION: To lower the fridge temperature, adjust

the thermostat, then leave the appliance overnight
before checking the guide again.

5. If the guide is still showing TOO WARM, adjust
the thermostat again, to a colder setting, and leave
the appliance overnight before checking the guide
again.

18

Defrosting

The refrigerator compartment evaporator is
automatically defrosted every time the compressor
stops. The water drains out through a channel
(Fig. 20) into a bowl located at the base of the back of
the appliance, where it evaporates.

In the compartment, the frost must be
removed using the plastic scraper provided whenever
a thick layer accumulates (approx. 4 mm). Do not use
metal tools to remove the frost – they can cause
serious damage.
Is is not necessary to switch the appliance off or take
the food out of the compartment during this operation.
If a thick layer of ice forms, the appliance must be
completely defrosted.

Proceed as follows:

,

set the thermostat dial to the «
the appliance;

wrap the deep-frozen food in several sheets of
newspaper and put in a cool place;

leave the door open and, if you wish to speed up
defrosting times, place a bowl of very hot water inside
the compartment (with a sheet of cardboard
underneath);

soak up the water that collects on the bottom with a
sponge and dry the walls thoroughly;

reset the thermostat dial to the required position or
plug the appliance in again. After running for two or
three hours, it will be ready to store deep-frozen foods
again.

To prevent the water overflowing and dripping
onto the food inside, periodically clean the defrost
water drain hole in the middle of the refrigerator
compartment channel (Fig. 20), using a small
flexible rod.

O» position or unplug

Fig. 20

19

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 LEAVE A STRONG 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.

GB

When the appliance is not in use

When the appliance is not in use for long periods,
disconnect from the electricity supply, empty all
