Operation  
Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly  
cleaned and placed in the bottom salad crisper.  
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.  
Before use  
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.  
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with  
runners so that shelves can be positioned as  
desired.  
Setting the temperature  
The temperature inside the refrigerator is regulated  
by a thermostat with 6 temperature positions and one  
«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  
D338  
- how often the door is opened  
- how much food is stored  
- position of the appliance  
The door shelves  
To permit storage of food packages of various sizes  
the central door shelf can be adjusted in height.  
To do this proceed as figure.  
Important  
If the fridge is not defrosting correctly, it is  
possible that because a very low tempera  
ture 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, how  
ever you should turn the setting lower occa  
sionally to allow automatic defrosting.  
D007  
Fresh food refrigeration  
For more thorough cleaning, the top door shelf and  
the bottle shelf can be removed by pulling them in  
the directon of the arrows, then refitting them in  
position.  
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.  
D009

Drink dispenser  
The container for cooling drinks (see fig.) is located in  
the door of the fridge. It is easily removed from its  
runners for filling and cleaning by pushing it upwards  
from the left side and then by pulling sharply outwards.  
Remove the clip on lid to fill.  
To pour a drink, press a glass upwards against the tap  
arms. To stop the flow of liquid remove the glass.  
If using the dispenser, we recommend that you rinse it  
several times with hot water. For thorough cleaning of  
the container add a spoonful of bicarbonate of soda to  
the rinsing water. Push the dispenser tap on and off  
several times to allow sugar deposits form soft drinks  
or wines to dissolve, or alternatively remove for  
cleaning by unscrewing in an anticlockwise direction.  
Empty the container and rinse thoroughly with clean  
water.  
If using the dispenser to store fresh fruit juice,  
particular attention should be paid to the  
manufacturer’s storage instructions. It is also  
advisable to clean the dispenser thoroughly between  
every filling, using a sterilising solution.  
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.  
The following tips should help you to ensure that  
the food in your home is in as perfect condition as  
possible.  
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.  
Never allow spillages to dry and harden.  
Store eggs in the egg rack provided in the  
refrigerator door. Discard any broken or chipped  
eggs.  
Regularly check the refrigerator door seal to  
ensure that it is clean and free from debris.  
Keep the refrigerator door closed as much as  
possible.  
Always wash your hands with soapy water and  
dry them with a clean towel before handling food.  
Do not push food together too much, try to allow  
air to circulate around each item.  
Keep work surfaces clean and avoid cross  
contamination by not using the same work surface  
or knife, without washing them thoroughly in  
between.  
Cool cooked food as quickly as possible but do  
NOT place in the refrigerator until cool. (Leave  
food in a cool place in order that it can then be  
placed in the refrigerator as soon as possible).  
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.  
Do not store food uncovered.  
Remove suspect food from your refrigerator and  
clean the interior (see “Maintenance and  
Cleaning”).

Cool Check Guide  
The guide consists of a temperature sensitive strip  
sealed in a shelf trim.  
When the fridge is operating at the safe temperature  
to store food the guide will appear black. If the  
temperature rises above this level the guide will show  
the words TOO WARM.  
TOO WARM  
Positioning of the Cool Check  
The shelf with the 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.  
If the Cool Check Shows too Warm  
In certain conditions the temperature guide may show  
TOO WARM.  
The fridge is switched off  
The door has been recently opened  
A quantity of warmer food has been introduced to  
the fridge  
The fridge temperature is above the recommended  
maximun for the safer storage of food.  
The coolcheck will change to show “TOO WARM” very  
quickly after the door has been opened. It will however  
take a number of hours to return to black, indicating  
that the temperature is correct.  
The appliance should be left overnight and the  
coolcheck examined in the morning. If the coolcheck  
shows TOO WARM, turn the appliance to a colder  
setting leave overnight and examine again the  
following morning.  
Hits and tips  
The guide is only suitable for use in the  
model supplied.  
The guide will not operate in the freezer  
compartment.  
When cleaning the shelf take care not to  
immerse in water, and wipe away any spills.

Defrosting  
The refrigerator automatically defrost every time the  
compressor stops. The water is discharged, via the  
pipe, into a tray located at the back of the appliance  
above the compressor, where it evaporates.  
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 drawers. Use the special  
cleaner provided which you will find  
already inserted into the discharge hole.  
D037  
Normal Operating Sounds  
You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when  
the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or tubing  
at the rear, to the cooling evaporator.  
When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being  
pumped round, and you will hear a whirring sound or  
pulsating noise from the compressor.  
A thermostat controls the compressor, and you will  
hear a faint ‘click’ when the thermostat cuts in and  
out.

Maintenance and Cleaning  
Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried  
out, DISCONNECT the appliance from the  
ELECTRICITY supply.  
Internal cleaning  
Clean the inside and accessories with warm water  
and bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0.5 litre of water).  
Rinse and dry thoroughly.  
NEVER USE DETERGENTS, ABRASIVE  
POWDERS, HIGHLY PERFUMED CLEANING  
PRODUCTS OR WAX POLISHES, TO CLEAN THE  
INTERIOR AS THESE WILL DAMAGE THE  
SURFACE AND LEAVE A STRONG SMELL.  
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.  
Changing the light bulb  
Should the interior light fail to work, first switch off the  
appliance and disconnect from the electricity supply,  
then replace the bulb as follows, see figure.  
Unscrew the light cover and then pull it outward  
toward the middle of the cabinet. Unscrew the bulb  
and replace it with a new 15 watt bulb (available from  
your nearest Zanussi Service Centre).  
Replace the light cover by sliding it into its original  
position and replacing the screw.  
When the appliance is not in use  
D731  
When the appliance is not in use for long periods,  
disconnect from the electricity supply, empty all foods  
and clean the appliance, leaving the door ajar to  
prevent unpleasant smells.
