User manual ZANUSSI ZI180/80

[. . . ] If owner ship is transferred, please leave the user manual for the new owner. Domestic Use The domestic refrigerators and freezers are designed to be used specifically for the storage of edible foodstuffs only. Check the appliance for transport damage. Under no circumstances should a damaged appliance be installed. In the event of damage please contact your retailer. [. . . ] At the first starting-up or after a period out of use, before putting the products in the compartment, let the appliance run for at least two hours on the coldest setting, then turn the thermostat knob to the normal operating position. Hints Freezing of fresh food and storage of frozen food Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and to make it possible subsequently to thaw only the quantity required. Wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene and make sure that the packages are airtight. Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food which is already frozen, thus avoiding a rise in temperature of the latter. Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could stick to the food and cause skin abrasions. It is advisable to show the freezing-in date on each individual pack to enable you to keep tab of the storage time. Be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the foodstore to the freezer in the shortest possible time. Do not put carbonated liquids (fizzy drinks, etc. ) in the freezing compartment as they may burst. Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and cannot be refrozen. Interior Accessories Ice-cube production This appliance is equipped with one or more trays for the production of ice-cubes. Fill these trays with water, then put them in the freezer compartment. Do not use metallic instruments to remove the trays from the freezer. Maintenance Unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance operation. The frozen food will not be affected if the power cut is of short duration (up to 12 hours) and the freezer compartment is full, otherwise, it is recommended that the food should be used within a short time (a temperature increase of the frozen food shortens its safe storage period). 41 Door reversal The appliances door has been locked in position for transport by means of pins on both sides. According to the door opening direction, remove relevant pins at the top and at the bottom. If the ambient temperature is cold (i. e. in Winter), the gasket may not fit perfectly to the cabinet. In that case, wait for the natural fitting of the gasket or accelerate this process by heating up the part involved with a normal hairdrier.

During normal operation, the condenser and compressor at the back of the appliance heat up considerably. Always ensure that there is adequate ventilation as a failure to do this will result in component failure and possible food loss. Important: if the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer or its service agent. The following table shows which ambient temperature is correct for each climate classification: Climate classification SN N ST T for an ambient temperature of +10 to +32C +16 to +32C +18 to +38C +18 to +43C Positioning Unpack the cabinet and check that it is in good condition and free of any transport damage. The appliance must not be located close to radiators or gas cookers. [. . . ] These guarantee terms do not apply in the event of use for professional or equivalent purposes. Performing the guarantee means that the appliance is returned to the condition it was in before the defect occurred. Defective parts are replaced or repaired.
