Zanussi ZI 918/12 KA manual Operation, Before using, Setting the temperature, Freezer compartment

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 and the freezer is regulated by a single thermostat with 6 temperature positions and an “OFF” (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:

–room temperature

–how often the door is opened

–how much food is stored

–position of the appliance

Important

During prolonged periods of abnormally hot weather, if the thermostat is set on too high a number, the cooling system may operate continuously and the fridge cooling plate may not defrost. Turning the knob to a lower number will cause the automatic defrosting to resume.

Low Ambient Temperature Switch

To ensure that the appliance is working efficiently when the room temperature drops below 16°C, the switch mounted next to the thermostat control should be switched on.

No damage can be caused by leaving the switch in this position for any period of time (see page 11 Low ambient operation). However should the temperature rise above 16°C remember to turn the switch off again.

The freezer compartment

The four-star freezer compartment is suitable for storage of commercially frozen food and for freezing fresh foods.

Freezing fresh food

It is not necessary to adjust the thermostat setting when freezing fresh food. Depress the ambient switch at least 12 hours before loading food to be frozen.

In any 24 hours you can freeze up to 6 kg. of fresh food.

Place food to be frozen in the upper drawer of the freezer as this is the coldest part.

If large quantities of food are to be stored , remove all drawers and baskets from the appliance and place food on cooling shelves. Pay careful attention

not to exceed load limit stated on the side of the upper section (where applicable).

Caution

In the event of a power cut do not open the door. The food in the freezer will not be affected if the power cut is short and if the freezer is full. Should the food begin to thaw, it must be consumed quickly and must not be re-frozen .

DEFROSTED COOKED FOOD MUST NOT BE REFROZEN.
