OPERATION  
Refrigerator/Freezer - Starting-up  
and temperature regulation  
Insert the plug into the wall socket. Open the  
refrigerator door and turn the thermostat knob, to be  
found on the upper right side of the inner liner,  
clockwise, from the «O» position, to start the  
appliance.  
Temperature adjustment is obtained by turning the  
thermostat knob to the required setting. A medium  
setting of between 2-4 is generally the most suitable.  
However, the thermostat knob setting should be  
adjusted depending on the temperature required  
inside the appliance.  
This, in turn, depends on a number of factors such as  
the ambient temperature, the number of times the  
door is opened, the quantity of food stored and the  
location of the appliance.  
Turn the knob clockwise, to higher numbers, to obtain  
a lower temperature, or anticlockwise if a higher  
temperature is required.  
Important  
If the fridge is not defrosting correctly, it is possible  
that because a very low temperature has been  
selected, the motor is working continuously, which  
prevents the defrost cycle from operating.  
To ensure correct defrosting, a lower number should  
be selected on the thermostat and you should notice  
that the motor cuts out from time to time, which is  
correct.  
If you wish to return to a lower temperature, turn the  
thermostat to a higher number, however you should  
turn the setting lower occasionally to allow automatic  
defrosting.

HEALTH AND SAFETY GUIDELINES  
Because of consumer demand, preservatives have  
been removed from many pre-prepared foods. This  
together with the changes in shopping habits to a  
once-a-week shop, mean that safe handling and  
storage of food is even more important than ever.  
ª Remove suspect food from your refrigerator and  
clean the interior with a solution of bicarbonate of  
soda in warm water (5ml to 0.5 litre of water).  
ª Never allow spillages to dry and harden.  
ª Store eggs in the egg rack provided in the  
refrigerator door. Discard any broken or chipped  
eggs.  
The following tips should help you to ensure that  
the food in your home is in as perfect condition as  
possible.  
ª Regularly check the refrigerator door seal to  
ª Keep the time between buying chilled food and  
placing it in your fridge as short as possible. Tests  
showed that the temperature of 1 litre of orange  
juice rose to 22°C in an hour between the  
supermarket and home. It then took 11 hours to get  
down to 7°C in the refrigerator.  
ensure that it is clean and free from bits and pieces.  
ª Always wash your hands with soapy water and dry  
them with a clean towel before handling food.  
ª Keep work surfaces clean and avoid cross  
contamination by not using the same work surface  
or knife, without washing them thoroughly in  
between.  
ª Keep the refrigerator door closed as much as  
possible. Remember that warm air is flowing in as  
you are deciding what to have for tea!  
ª Use kitchen roll wherever possible for cleaning up  
food. If you use a dishcloth, be sure to boil it  
frequently.  
ª Do not push food together too much, try to allow  
air to circulate around each item.  
ª Cool cooked food as quickly as possible but do  
NOT place in the refrigerator until cool. (Leave  
food in a place as cool as possible in order that it  
can then be placed in the refrigerator as soon as  
possible).  
ª Do NOT mix raw and cooked meat, they must be  
in separate containers. Take care not to let the meat  
juices drip onto other food. If the meat does drip,  
remove everything and clean thoroughly.  
ª Do not store food uncovered.  
11  
 
Important  
Freezing fresh food  
Do not consume ice-lollies which have just come out  
of the freezer. Their extremely low temperature can  
cause frost burns.  
In any 24 hours you can freeze up to 3 kg.  
Place food to be frozen on the shelf of the freezer as  
this is the coldest part.  
Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands  
are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or  
“frost/freezer burns”.  
The food to be frozen must be fresh and of the best  
quality.  
The size of each pack should be small enough to  
ensure that it is used in one go. Small packs freeze  
quickly.  
Caution  
In the event of a power cut the food in the freezer will  
not be affected if the power cut is short and if the  
freezer is full. Do not open the door. Should the food  
begin to thaw, it must be consumed quickly and must  
not be re-frozen.  
Frozen food, once thawed, must not be refrozen. Lean  
food keeps better and longer than fatty food, salt  
reduces the storage time.  
Wrap the food in polythene or aluminium freezing  
bags or foil so that they adhere to the food and  
provide an airtight seal. Stick a label on each pack  
showing the contents and date of freezing. This makes  
it easy to check storage times.  
Thawing  
Food can be thawed in a number of ways, depending  
on the type of food and the size of the packs.  
Meat, fish and fruit should be thawed in the  
Never place hot food, bottles or cans of fizzy drink in  
the freezer as they may explode. Containers with a lid  
must not be filled to the brim.  
refrigeration compartment and small pieces of meat  
or poultry can even be cooked while still frozen, but  
you must ensure that it is thoroughly cooked through.  
Vegetables should be directly immersed in boiling  
water; ready-cooked dishes can be placed directly in  
the oven in their aluminium wrapping.  
A microwave oven is particularly suitable for thawing  
any type of frozen or deep-frozen food: follow the  
oven instructions, particularly regarding the  
Do not open the door or place extra fresh food in the  
freezer next to food which is already frozen as this  
could cause the temperature of the frozen food to rise  
and its quality and storage life to reduce.  
Frozen food storage  
If the freezer has been out of use for some time, we  
advise you to run your appliance for at least two hours  
with the thermostat control to the highest number  
before storing frozen food.  
placement of aluminium wrapping in the oven.  
Storing ready-frozen foods is quite straightforward.  
The packs can be placed beside each other or on top  
of each other.  
Ice making  
Fill the ice trays with water to the top of each ice cube  
compartment, and place them in the freezer  
compartment. To release the ice cubes, twist the tray  
along its length.  
You are strongly advised to place ready-frozen food  
in the compartment as quickly as possible after  
purchase. Also ensure that the external packaging is  
intact.  
Never use a sharp instrument to remove the ice trays.  
Packaging which is swollen or has traces of refrozen  
water droplets on the pack could indicate that the  
product has not been kept at a suitable temperature  
and that it may have lost its original quality. Partially  
thawed food must not be refrozen, it must be  
consumed within 24 hours. Never exceed the storage  
times indicated.  
Do not open the freezer door too often and do not  
leave open longer than necessary.  
12  
 
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.  
Do not cover the shelves with any protective material,  
such as paper, cardboard or plastic, which may  
obstruct the air circulation through them.  
To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are  
some more useful hints:  
Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & wild fowl): wrap in  
polythene bags and place on top of the salad crisper.  
Meat can only be stored safely in this way for one  
or two days at the most.  
Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly  
cleaned and placed in the bottom salad crispers.  
Butter & cheese: these should be placed in special  
airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or  
polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.  
Milk bottles: these should have a cap and should be  
stored in the bottle rack on the door.  
Movable shelves  
Fig. 8  
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a  
series of runners so that the shelves can be positioned  
as desired.  
For better use of space, the front half-shelves can lie  
over the rear ones.  
D338  
13  
 
Positioning the door shelves  
To permit storage of food packages of various sizes,  
the door shelves can be adjusted in height.  
Fig. 9  
To make these adjustments proceed as follows:  
Gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the arrows  
until it comes free, then reposition as required  
(Fig. 9).  
D064  
Fig. 10  
For more thorough cleaning, the top door shelf can be  
removed by pulling it in the direction of the arrows,  
then refitting it in position (Fig. 10).  
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.  
D066  
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.  
14  
 
Starting the appliance  
Everyday use of the cool check  
temperature guide  
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.  
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  
For more information on starting you appliance, see  
“Operation”.  
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.  
15  
 
Defrosting  
Refrigerator  
The refrigerator automatically defrosts every time the  
compressor stops.  
Fig. 11  
Important  
To avoid defrost water overflowing into the fridge,  
periodically clean the water discharge hole in the  
centre of the V shaped drip collector at the back of the  
refrigerator compartment behind the fruit and  
vegetable drawer. Use the special cleaner provided  
which you will find already inserted into the  
discharge hole (Fig. 11).  
Remember to wash the defrost cleaner in hot soapy water  
at regular intervals. Dry thoroughly before replacing.  
D037  
Freezer  
The freezer compartment will become progressively  
covered with frost.  
When the frost has reached a thickness of up to 4mm  
it can be removed using the ice scraper provided with  
the appliance. During this operation it is not necessary  
to disconnect the appliance from the mains and  
remove the food. Never use metal tools for this  
operation.  
However, when the ice becomes very thick on the  
inner liner, complete defrosting should be carried out.  
For complete defrosting (once or twice a year)  
proceed as follows:  
– turn the thermostat dial to the «OFF» position (O)  
or disconnect the appliance from the mains.  
– Remove any food from inside the freezer and  
fridge, wrap it in several sheets of newspaper and  
store in a cool place.  
Fig. 12  
– Leave the door open, place a basin on the top shelf  
of the refrigerator compartment, under the drain  
hole, lift the plug as shown in the figure 12.  
– Clean and dry thoroughly.  
– Reconnect the appliance to the mains or reset the  
thermostat to a functioning position.  
– After letting the appliance run for a least half an  
hour, replace the previously removed food into the  
compartment.  
PR138  
16  
 
Important  
When defrosting the freezer, the fridge is also  
controlled by the thermostat and will not be  
operational during this period.  
A temperature rise of the frozen food packs, during  
defrosting, may shorten their safe storage life.  
Attention!  
«In the event of a power failure causing the  
temperature within your freezer to rise, do not re-  
freeze the food without checking its condition. The  
following guidelines should assist you.»  
Ice-cream: once thawed should be discarded.  
Fruits & Vegetables: if soft should be cooked and  
used up.  
Breads & Cakes: can be re-frozen without danger.  
Shellfish: should be refrigerated and used up quickly.  
Cooked Dishes: i.e. casseroles should be refrigerated  
and used up.  
Large Pieces of Meat: can be re-frozen providing  
there are still ice crystals remaining within them.  
Small Joints: should be cooked and can then be re-  
frozen as cooked dishes.  
Chicken: should also be cooked and re-frozen as a  
cooked dish.

THE INTERIOR AS THESE WILL DAMAGE THE  
SURFACE AND LEAVE A STRONG SMELL.  
ª unscrew the light cover securing screws;  
ª unhook the moving part by pressing it as shown in  
the figure.  
If the door is open and the light does not come on,  
check that the bulb is properly screwed in; if it still  
does not work, replace the bulb with one of the same  
power.  
Clean the drain hole of the water trough at regular  
intervals and make sure that the drain hole is never  
obstructed, so that the defrost water may flow freely.  
The maximum rating is shown on the light cover.  
Fig. 14  
External cleaning  
Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. Do  
NOT use abrasive products.

GB  
WHAT HAPPENS IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG?  
Before contacting your local Zanussi Service Centre, check the following points:  
The appliance does not work... Check that:  
ª There is power at the socket.  
ª Ensure that there is not a power cut by checking the  
household lights.  
ª The fuse has not blown.  
ª The air circulation passages are not covered.  
ª The thermostat dial is in the correct position.  
ª You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when  
the refrigerant is pumped through the coils of tubing at  
the rear, to the cooling plate/evaporator. When the  
compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped round,  
and you will hear a whirring or pulsating noise from the  
compressor.  
Vibration or abnormal noises...  
A thermostat controls the compressor, and you will hear  
a faint “click” when the thermostat cuts in and out.  
ª The defrosting water discharge hole is not obstructed.  
Traces of water on the bottom  
of the fridge compartment...  
ª The bulb is fitted correctly.  
The light does not come on...  
ª Replace the bulb if it has blown.  
ª The thermostat setting is not too high (see page 10).  
ª Have you turned the thermostat to the correct setting?  
Fridge does not defrost...  
Other points to check...  
ª Have door been left open causing the temperature to  
rise?  
If, after the above checks, there is still a fault, call your local Zanussi Service Centre, whose address can be found  
in the accompanying Customer Care Booklet, and can also be found in your local telephone directory under «Z».  
Please make sure you give the model and serial number of the appliance. This information can be found on the  
rating plate inside the fridge compartment on the left side behind the vegetable drawer, or on the guarantee
