Freezing fresh food

• The freezer compartment is suitable for

freezing fresh food and storing frozen

and deep-frozen food for a long time

• Place the fresh food to be frozen in the

bottom compartment

• The maximum amount of food that can

be frozen in 24 hours is speciﬁed on

the rating plate, a label located on the

inside of the appliance

• The freezing process takes 24 hours.

during this period do not add other food

to be frozen

Storing frozen foods

When ﬁrst starting-up or after a period out of

use. Before putting the food in the compart-

ment, let the appliance run for at least two

hours on the highest settings.

Important! In the event of accidental defrost-

ing, for example due to a power failure that

lasts longer than the value shown in the tech-

nical data under "rising time", the defrosted

food must be consumed quickly or cooked

immediately and then re-frozen (after cooling).

Defrosting

Prior to being used, deep-frozen or frozen

food can be thawed in the refrigerator com-

partment or at room temperature, depending

on the time available for this. Smaller pieces

can even be taken directly from the freezer

and cooked from frozen. In this case, cooking

will take a little longer.

Making ice cubes

This appliance is equipped with one or more

trays for the production of ice- cubes.

Helpful hints and tips

Normal operating sounds

• You may hear a faint gurgling and a

bubbling sound when the refrigerant

is pumped through the coils or tubing.

These operating sounds are normal

• When the compressor is on, the refrig-

erant is being pumped around and you

will hear a whirring sound and a pulsat-

ing noise from the compressor. These

operating sounds are normal

• Thermal expansion may cause a sudden

cracking noise. This noise is natural and

not a physical phenomenon

Ideas for saving energy

• Not open the door frequently or leave it

open longer than absolutely necessary

• If the ambient temperature is high and

the Temperature Regulator is set to

low temperature and the appliance is

fully loaded, the compressor may run

continuously, causing frost or ice on

the evaporator. If this happens, set the

Temperature Regulator toward warmer

settings to allow automatic defrosting

and so a saving in electricity consump-

tion

Hints for 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

• Position food so that air can circulate

freely round it

Hints for refrigeration

Tips:

Meat (all types): Wrap meat in food-safe

bags and place on the glass shelf above the

vegetable drawer.

For safety, store in this way only one or two

days at the most.

Pre-cooked food, cold meals etc. These

should be covered and placed on one of the

shelves. Fruit and vegetables: Clean thor-

oughly and place in the designated drawer(s).

Butter and cheese: These should always

be placed in special airtight containers or

wrapped in aluminium foil or food-safe bags

so that there is as little air as possible in the

package.

Milk bottles: Please always store milk bottles

with a lid and in the bottle rack in the door.

7

www.zanussi.com

Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not

packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator.

Hints for freezing

To help you make the most of the freezing

process, here are some Important! hints:

• The maximum quantity of foods to

freeze in 24 hours is shown on the se-

rial number plate

• The freezing process takes 24 hours.

No further food to be frozen should be

added during this period

• Only freeze top quality, fresh and thor-

oughly cleaned, foodstuffs

• Prepare food in small portions to enable

it to be rapidly and completely frozen

and to make it possible subsequently to

thaw only the quantity required

• Wrap up the food in aluminium foil or

polythene and make sure that the pack-

ages are airtight

• Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to

touch food which is already frozen, thus

avoiding a rise in temperature of the

latter

• Lean foods store better and longer than

fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life

of food

• Water ices, if consumed immediately

after removal from the freezer compart-

ment, can possibly cause the skin to be

freeze burnt

• It is advisable to show the freezing in

date on each individual pack to enable

you to keep tab of the storage time

Hints for storage of frozen food

To obtain the best performance from this ap-

pliance, you should:

• Make sure that the commercially frozen

foodstuffs were adequately stored by

the retailer

• Be sure that frozen foodstuffs are trans-

ferred from the food-store to the freezer

in the shortest possible time

• Not open the door frequently or leave it

open longer than absolutely necessary

• Once defrosted, food deteriorates

rapidly and cannot be refrozen

• Do not exceed the storage period indi-

cated by the food manufacturer

Care and cleaning

Cleaning

For hygienic reasons the appliance interior,

including interior accessories, should be

cleaned regularly.

Warning! The appliance must not be

connected to the mains during cleaning.

Danger of electrical shock! Before cleaning,

switch off the appliance and remove the plug

from the mains or switch off the circuit

breaker or fuse. Never clean the appliance

with a steam cleaner. Moisture could accumu-

late in the electrical components, which leads

to the risk of electric shock. Hot vapours can

lead to the damage of plastic parts. The

appliance must be dry before it is placed back

into service.

Important! Ethereal oils and organic solvents

can attack plastic parts, e.g. lemon juice, juice

from orange peel, butyric acid or cleaners that

contain acetic acid.

• Do not allow such substances to come

into contact with appliance parts

• Do not use abrasive cleaners

• Remove any food from the appliance.

Store it in a cool place, well covered

• Switch off the appliance and remove

the plug from the mains or switch off

the appliance with the circuit breaker

or fuse

• Clean the appliance and the interior

accessories with a cloth and lukewarm

water. Commercially available dish

washing detergents may also be used.

After cleaning wipe with fresh water

and rub dry

• Accumulation of dust at the condenser

increases energy consumption. For this

reason, clean the heat exchanger at the

back of the appliance once a year with

a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner

8

www.zanussi.com

• Check the water drainage hole on the

rear wall of the refrigerator compart-

ment. Clear a blocked drainage hole

with the aid of a blunt pencil and be

careful not to damage the casing with

sharp objects

• After everything is dry place appliance

back into service

Defrosting the freezer compartment

The rear wall of the refrigerator compartment

is covered in frost while the compressor is

running and thaws when the compressor is

not running. The water from the thawing frost

evaporates by itself.

However, with time, a layer of ice forms in

the freezer compartment. This should be

removed.

Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off

frost and ice from the evaporator as this may

damage it. However, if a very thick layer of ice

forms on the interior lining, you should fully

defrost the appliance. Proceed as follows:

• Disconnect the mains plug from the

mains socket

• Remove any frozen food, wrap it in

several layers of newspaper and put it

in a cool place

• Leave the appliance door open and

place a container under the appliance

to collect the defrost water

• When defrosting is completed, dry the

interior thoroughly

• Reinsert the mains plug into the socket

to switch on the appliance
