Before use
·Remove all securing tapes.
·Wash the inside of the appliance with lukewarm
water with a little bicarbonate of soda added (5ml to
0,5 litre of water). Do not use soap or detergent as
the smell may linger. Dry the appliance thoroughly.
Do not use detergents, abrasive powders,
highly perfumed cleaning products, wax,
polishes or products containing alcohol.
·Before inserting the power plug into the outlet and
switching on the cabinet for the first time, leave it
standing upright for about 30 minutes, or for 2 hours
if it was transported horizontally. Otherwise the compressor may sustain damage. This time will allow the
oil sufficient time to return to the compressor.
Using the fridge
To start the fridge and thermostat
control
Turn the thermostat control to the desired position.
1 : The lowest position of the thermostat control
results in the highest temperature inside the cabinet.
6 : The highest position of the thermostat control
results in the lowest temperature inside the cabinet.
0 :Off.
Allow the cabinet to run for a period of 24 hours
whenever the temperature setting is changed. This
will allow the temperature to stabilise inside the
cabinet.
Temperature inside the fridge
A suitable temperature inside the fridge is approx.
+5°C. If the thermostat control is set too cold, food
with a high water content may start to freeze if it has
been placed in the coldest places in the fridge.
(+ warm, - cold)
Meat, fish and milk should be put in the coldest part
of the cabinet.
The temperature will be affected by:
·How often the door is opened
·How much food is stored
·Position of the appliance (See chapter
Installation)

Measuring the temperature
If the temperature is measured using a standard,
single t hermometer, this should be put in a glass of
water centrally placed inside the cabinet. This will
reflect the temperature inside the food products. Do
not place the thermometer hanging or lying directly
on the shelf.
·Distribute foodstuffs to allow cold air to
circulate freely between the products.
·Do not place food products directly against the
cooling plate on the rear wall since they may
freeze in this case.
·Also never put warm products into the cabinet.
Wait until they have cooled down.
·Cover all foods properly to avoid odours and
flavours from tainting other food.
Switching off
Set the thermostat control to the "0" position.
Unplug the power supply plug from the wall socket.
Cabinet interior
The shelves and door compartments are removable
and can easily be re-arranged.
Certain shelves must be lifted up by the rear edge to
enable them to be removed.
The lower door compartment and the glass shelf
above the salad drawer must not be moved. They are
required for proper air circulation inside the cabinet.
Shelves with a raised edge should be placed with the
raised edge facing the rear wall of the cabinet, and
thus prevent food products from touching the
cooling plate.
Dividing plate
The dividing plate separates the chiller compartment
from the fridge. The dividing plate features a grille
that can be opened and closed to control the amount
of cold air entering the chiller compartment. When
the grille is opened, the chiller compartment will
become colder .
In fridges with a single door, the dividing plate can
be moved to increase the size of the refrigerator
compartment. The dividing plate should always be
placed under the drip channel and opposite a door
compartment.

Hints and Tips
GB
Normal Operating Sounds
·You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds
when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils
or 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 sound or pulsating noise from the
compressor.
·A thermostat controls the compressor and you
will hear a faint " click" when the termostat cuts
in and out.
Energy Saving Advice
·Do not install the cabinet close to sources of heat
such as a cooker, dishwasher or radiator.
·Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilated
room and make sure that the air openings of the
cabinet are not obstructed.
·Always leave warm food to cool down to room
temperature before placing in the fridge.
·Try to avoid keeping the door open for long
periods, or opening the door too frequently as
warm air will enter the cabinet, and cause the
compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
·Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the
door from closing properly.
·It is advisable to periodically clean the
refrigeration system at the back of the appliance
with a duster or vacuum cleaner.
Food Storage
·To obtain the best results from your appliance,
neither hot foods nor liquids which may
evaporate, should be placed in the larder
compartment.
·Keep the time between buying chilled food and
placing it in your fridge as short as possible.
·Do not push food together too much, try to allow
air to circulate around each item.
·Do not store food uncovered.
Remove suspect food from you refrigerator and
clean, refer to cleaning and maintenance.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any maintenance or cleaning work
is carried out DISCONNECT the appliance
from the ELECTRICITY supply.
Removing the ventilation grille
The ventilation grille can be removed, e.g. to wash
the grille.
Make sure the door is open when removing the
ventilation grille. Unsnap the upper edge of the grille
by pulling outward/downward. Then pull the grille
straight out to completely remove it.
Internal Cleaning
Clean the inside and the accessories with warm
water and bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0,5 litre of
water).
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Do not use detergents, abrasive
powders, high perfumed cleaning
products, wax polishes or cleaning
products containing bleach or alcohol .
GB
R egularly check the door seal s and wipe cl ean to
ensure they are clean and free from debris.
Clean out the drip channel inside the fridge at
regular intervals and ensure that the drip channel is
clear at all times. If blocked carefully clear using a
piece of flexible curtain wire inserted into the drain
outlet to remove the blockage.

Zanussi 818 14 54-05/2
External Cleaning
Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water.
Remove the ventilation grille (see the section
"Removing the ventilation grille") and vacuum-clean
under the cabinet. Once or twice a year dust the
condenser (black grille) and the compressor at the
back of the appliance, with a brush or vacuum
cleaner, as an accumulation of dust will affect the
performance of the appliance and cause excessive
electricity consumption.
Defrosting the fridge
The fridge is defrosted automatically every time the
compressor stops. Frost formation can be prevented
by:
·not putting warm foodstuff inside the cabinet.
·avoiding frequently opening the door or keeping
it open too long.
·not placing foodstuffs directly against the cold
cooling plate.
To Change the Light Bulb
The light is switched on automatically when the
door is opened. Before replacing the light bulb,
disconnect the power plug from the outlet.
Press the spring together and pull the grille
downward at the same time.

ratingof25W.
When moving the cabinet, lift it by
the front edge to avoid scratching
the floor.
When the appliance is not in use
Disconnect the appliance from electricity supply.
Empty all foods and clean the appliance, leaving the
doors ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.
If the cabinet will be kept on, ask somebody to
check it once in a while to prevent the food inside
from spoiling in case of a power failure.
