OPERATION

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.

Setting the temperature

The temperature inside the refrigerator is regulated
by a thermostat with 6 temperature positions and
one ÇOFFÈ (O) position.

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 refrigeration compartment depends on the
following factors:

Ð room temperature

Ð how often the door is opened

Ð how much food is stored

Ð 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.

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.

6

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 protective
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 & wild fowl): wrap in
polythene bags and place on the glass shelf above
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.

D040

Movable shelves

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

TOO WARM

CCOO2

ZANUSSI

Cool Check Guide

The guide consists of a temperature sensitive strip
sealed in a shelf trim.

When the fridge is operating at the safe temperature
to store food the guide will appear black. If the
temperature rises above this level the guide will
show the words TOO WARM.

Positioning of the Cool Check

The shelf with the 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.

If the Cool Check shows TOO WARM

In certain conditions the temperature guide may
show TOO WARM if:

¥ The fridge is switched off

¥ The door has been recently opened

¥ A quantity of warmer food has been introduced to

the fridge

¥ The fridge temperature is above the

recommended maximum for the safer storage of
food.

The cool check will change to show ÒTOO WARMÒ
very quickly after the door has been opened. It will
however take a number of hours to return to black,
indicating that the temperature is correct.

The appliance should be left overnight and the cool
check examined in the morning. If the cool check
shows TOO WARM, turn the appliance to a colder
setting leave overnight and examine again the
following morning.

Hints and Tips

¥ The guide is only suitable for use in the model

supplied.

¥ The guide will not operate in the freezer

compartment.

¥ When cleaning the shelf take care not to immerse

in water, and wipe away any spills.

8

Normal Operating Sounds

¥ 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 thermostat cuts in
and out.

Food Storage

To obtain the best performance from your refri­gerator:

¥ Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids.

¥ Do not store food uncovered.

¥ Keep the time between buying chilled food and

placing it in your refrigerator as short as possible.

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

air to circulate around each item.

Energy Saving Advice

¥ Do not install the appliance close to sources of

heat, such as a boiler or radiator.

¥ Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilated

room.

¥ 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 d

or from closing properly.

HINTS AND TIPS

9

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried
out, DISCONNECT the appliance from the
ELECTRICITY supply.

Internal cleaning

Never use metal objects for cleaning your
appliance as it may get damaged.

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 ODOUR.

When the appliance is not in use

When the appliance is not in use for long periods,
disconnect from the electricity supply, empty all
foods and clean the appliance, leaving the doors ajar
to prevent unpleasant smells.

Changing the light bulb

Should the interior light fail to work, first switch off
the appliance and disconnect from the electricity
supply, then replace the bulb as follows;

Unscrew the light cover and then pull it outward by
pressing as shown in the figure. Unscrew the bulb
and replace it with a new 15 watt bulb (available
from your nearest Service Force Centre).

Replace the light cover by sliding it into its original
position and replacing the screw.

Defrosting

Refrigerator

The refrigerator automatically defrosts every time the
compressor stops. The water is discharged, via the
pipe, into a tray located beneath the appliance where
the heat generated by the compressor evaporates it
away.

Important

To avoid defrost water overflowing into the fridge,
periodically clean the water discharge hole in the
centre of the V shaped drip collector at the back of
the refrigerator compartment. Use the defrost
cleaner provided which you will find already inserted
into the discharge hole.

Remember to wash the defrost cleaner in hot soapy
water at regular intervals. Dry throughly before
replacing.
