[. . . ] REFRIGERATORFREEZER ZFC 66/14 INSTRUCTION BOOKLET 2222 022-97/1 CONTENTS Warnings . Refrigerator/Freezer - Starting-up and temperature regulation Fresh food refrigeration . Everyday use of the cool check temperature guide . When the appliance is not in use, changing the light bulb . [. . . ] Never exceed the storage times indicated. Do not open the freezer door too often and do not leave open longer than necessary. Important Do not consume ice-lollies which have just come out of the freezer. Their extremely low temperature can cause frost burns. Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or "frost/freezer burns". 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. Should the food begin to thaw, it must be consumed quickly and must not be re-frozen. 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 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 placement of aluminium wrapping in the oven. 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. Never use a sharp instrument to remove the ice trays. 11 The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with runners so that shelves can be positioned as desired (Fig. 12 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". D040 Positioning the door shelves To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the door shelves can be adjusted in height. 13 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. D113 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. [. . . ] Have doors been left open causing the temperature to rise?Sometimes the freezer door will be difficult to open shortly after you have closed it. Don't worry this is due to pressure difference which will quickly equalise and allow the door to open normally. 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».
