COLLECTION
Control Panel
The appliance controls are located in the top panel inside the refrigerator compartment.
Thermostat Control
The freezer and fridge thermostats control the temperature inside the freezer and refrigerator respectively.
1. The Freezer Temperature Control
The freezer temperature control, regulates the temperature within the freezer compartment. A change in the
control setting in the freezer compartment could affect
the temperature in the refrigerator compartment under
certain circumstances.
7 Maximum coldness
1 Minimum coldness
An intermediate position is usually the most suitable,
although the temperature will be affected by:
Room temperature
How often the door is opened
How much food is stored
Position of the appliance
In determining the correct temperature control setting
all these factors have to be considered and some
experimentation may be necessary.
When altering the temperature settings, allow 24 hours
for the temperature to stablise before making further
changes.
2. The Fridge Temperature Control
The fridge temperature control regulates the temperature within the fridge compartment, by regulating the
cold airflow. An intermediate setting is usually the most
suitable, although some experimentation may be
necessary to obtain the correct temperature.
5 Maximum coldness
1 Minimum coldness
Standby
3. ON/OFF Button
To switch the appliance on or off, press the
ON/OFF button continuously for 3 seconds. When
the appliance is switched on, the ON/OFF button
will illuminate.
4. The Door Alarm
If either of the doors are left open, the door alarm
will sound and the alarm button will flash red. Press
the alarm button to switch off the alarm, the light
will stop flashing but will remain red. To switch off
the alarm and the light shut the doors.
5. Temperature Alarm
If the internal temperature inside the appliance is
too high for the safe storage of frozen food, an
alarm will sound and the temperature alarm button
light will start to flash. The temperature may rise for
the following reasons:
The doors have been left open
There has been a power failure
A large quantity of food has been added to the
appliance.
The thermostat controls may be incorrectly set.
There is a fault.
To switch off the alarm, press the alarm button. The
audible signal will stop. The light will stop flashing,
but will remain on until the internal temperature has
reached the correct storage temperature for frozen
food.
6. Fast Freeze Button
Press the fast freeze button approximately 3 hours
before freezing fresh food. Once the food is frozen,
switch off the fast freeze function by pressing the
fast freeze button. The fast freeze function will
automatically switch off after 36 hours.
Turn the control knob to the standby position if you
wish to switch off the fridge, but leave the freezer in
operation (for example, when on holiday). Leave the
doors shut when in Standby operation.

Using the Appliance
This appliance is designed for domestic use
only, specifically for storage of edible foodstuffs.
This appliance is designed to operate in ambient temperatures (surrounding air temperature) between 10°C (50°F) and
32°C (90°F).
If these temperatures are exceeded i.e. colder or warmer, the
appliance may not operate correctly.
Before Use
Remove all transit packaging.
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 polis-
hes or products containing alcohol.
Starting the Appliance
1. Allow the appliance to stand for 2 hours after installation.
2. Plug in the appliance and switch on at the mains supply.
Press the ON/OFF button continuously for 3 seconds.
The appliance will start operating after a 4 minute delay
and the internal light will switch on. The ON/OFF button
will illuminate.
The temperature alarm (a beeping sound) may come on
during the start up phase. If this happens push the temperature alarm button.
3. Set the thermostat controls for the fridge and freezer compartments. See Control Panel section.
4. To ensure safe food storage, allow the appliance to operate with the doors closed for at least 3 hours, before loading with food.
switch off automatically, as the freezer temperature
drops. Push the alarm button to switch off the audible
signal.
Frozen Food storage
The freezer will store frozen food at -18°C or colder allowing for long term frozen food storage and freezing of
fresh food.
Pre packed commercially frozen food should be stored in
accordance with the manufacturers instructions for a 4
star frozen food compartment and should be put in the
freezer as soon as possible after purchase. Your freezer
provides for long-term storage which generally means up
to 3 months but the length of the time can vary and it is
important to follow the recommended times shown on
packets of commercially frozen food.
Refrigerator Compartment
This compartment is designed to store drinks and fresh
food. The inner temperature is normally uniform and is
kept cool by cold circulating air. Try to avoid putting food
products flush against the air vents at the back of the fridge as this could cause the foods to freeze.
Cooling Rack for Beverages (only in
ZX99/3W, ZX99/5W and ZX99/5SI)
To achieve the maximum cooling on the cooling rack,
please follow these guidelines:
- Place the rack in the highest guide.
- Ensure that the rack is cold before placing the cans and
the bottles that you want to cool on it.
- Place large cans and bottles in the middle of the rack.
- Place small cans and bottles towards the edge of the
rack close to the cabinet wall.
- DO NOT put the cooling rack in the freezer to cool
i
liquids more quickly.
- DO NOT load more than 6.5kg onto the shelf
.
Freezer Compartment
The freezer will store frozen food at -18°C or colder allowing
for long-term frozen food storage and freezing of fresh food.
Freezing Fresh Food
The maximum quantity of food that can be frozen in 24 hours
is shown on the rating plate and in the technical specifications section of this instruction book.
When freezing fresh foods, press the fast freeze button 3
hours before placing the food into the freezer compartment.
When the food is frozen, switch off the fast freeze function.
The fast freeze function automatically switch off after 36
hours..
The Temperature alarm may sound if a lot of new food is put
into the freezer, due to a rise in temperature. The alarm will
Chill Compartment (only in ZX99/3W,
ZX99/5W and ZX99/5SI)
The temperature is kept typically at 1-2 degrees lower
than the average temperature in the fridge. Use the compartment for foods that are marked typically for storage
at 0-5°C for longer preservation. Adjusting the fridge temperature to cooler or warmer affects the chiller temperature in the same way. Avoid stacking large amounts of
warm food on top of already cold food, as this will raise
the temperature of the food previously stored in the chiller. Do not use the chiller, as a zone for rapid cooling at
it is not designed for this.
