[. . . ] REFRIGERATORFREEZER ZFK 60/30 RM INSTRUCTION BOOKLET 2222 133-19/1 WARNINGS GB IT IS MOST IMPORTANT THAT THIS INSTRUCTION BOOK SHOULD BE RETAINED WITH THE APPLIANCE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. SHOULD THE APPLIANCE BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED TO ANOTHER OWNER, OR SHOULD YOU MOVE HOUSE AND LEAVE THE APPLIANCE, ALWAYS ENSURE THAT THE BOOK IS SUPPLIED WITH THE APPLIANCE IN ORDER THAT THE NEW OWNER CAN GET TO KNOW THE FUNCTIONING OF THE APPLIANCE AND THE RELEVANT WARNINGS. THESE WARNINGS ARE PROVIDED IN THE INTEREST OF SAFETY. YOU MUST READ THEM CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING OR USING THE APPLIANCE. General Safety This appliance is designed to be operated by adults. [. . . ] Wrap the food in polythene or aluminium freezing bags or foil so that they adhere to the food and provide an airtight seal. 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. 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. 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. 11 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 refrigerator 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. Making ice cubes The appliance is provided with two plastic ice cube trays. Fill the trays 3/4 full to allow the ice to expand and place them in one of the freezer drawers. To turn out the ice cubes simply give the tray a slight twist to release the cubes. Cold accumulator The freezer contains one cold accumulator which can be found in one of the freezer drawers. Place the cold accumulator in the FAST FREEZE compartment see Fig. The cold accumulator increases storage times in the event of a power cut or breakdown. Removal of this unit will increase the capacity of the fast freezing compartment but will reduce storage times in the event of a power cut or breakdown. 5 D401 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. [. . . ] 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». 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 certificate. Original spare parts can be purchased from Zanussi Service Centres. [. . . ]
