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.

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
