Cool check temperature guide
This model has a cool check temperature guide fitted to a shelf in the fridge compartment. The guide is designed to show whether the fridge is operating at safe temperatures for all food types. The guide consists of a temperature sensitive strip sealed in the shelf trim.
When the fridge is operating at the safe temperature to store food, the guide will appear black. If the temperature in the fridges rises the guide will show the words TOO WARM. The temperature in the fridge may rise if the door has just been opened, the fridge has just been loaded with shopping or if the room temperature is higher than normal. See “Everyday use of the temperature guide” for further information.
The shelf with 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.
When cleaning the shelf take care not to immerse the guide in water and wipe any spills from the holder quickly.
Important
The guide is only suitable for use in the model supplied and accurate temperature guidance cannot be guaranteed if transferred to other appliances. The guide will not work in the freezer compartment.
Starting the appliance
Check that the shelf with the Cool Check is positioned correctly (as described previously). Close the door and leave the appliance overnight to allow the temperature to reach a safe level.
If after waiting overnight the temperature guide still shows TOO WARM, adjust the thermostat to a higher number, close the door and allow to stand overnight. A higher thermostat setting may be required to keep the fridge temperature at the safe storage level during warmer weather.
For more information on starting you appliance, see “Operation”.
Everyday use of the cool check temperature guide
During everyday use a fridge door is opened many times and as a result temperature fluctuation may occur. A Zanussi fridge is designed to cope with any changes in temperature but under certain conditions the temperature guide in the appliance may show
TOO WARM.
What to do if the Cool Check temperature guide shows TOO WARM
The Cool Check guide may show TOO WARM if:
1.The fridge is switched off.
ACTION: Start the appliance in accordance with the instructions.
2.The fridge door has recently been opened or is left open for more than approximately one minute.
ACTION: As mentioned before the temperature guide is sensitive to changes in fridge temperature and opening the fridge door for prolonged periods may cause the guide to show TOO WARM. This should not cause concern as such fluctuations in temperature do not generally affect the safe storage of food.
Leave the fridge door closed for as long as possible so the temperature returns to a safe level, the guide should then appear black.
3.The fridge has been loaded with fresh shopping. ACTION: When fresh shopping or additional quantities of food are placed in the fridge, the temperature may rise and cause the guide to show
TOO WARM.
Do not adjust the thermostat as the time taken for the guide to appear black will depend on the quantity and the temperature of food introduced.
4.The fridge temperature is above the recommended maximum for the safe storage of all food types.
ACTION: To lower the fridge temperature, adjust the thermostat, then leave the appliance overnight before checking the guide again.
5.If the guide is still showing TOO WARM, adjust the thermostat again, to a colder setting, and leave the appliance overnight before checking the guide again.
