General Safety s s s s s s 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 airlight 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 hour. 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 . s s Keep the time between buying chilled food and placing it in your fridge as short as possible. Tests showed that the temperature of 1 1itre 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. 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!Do not push food together too much, try to allow air circulate around each item. Cool cooked food as quickly as possible but do NOT place in the refrigerator or freezer until cool. (Leave food in a place as cool as possible in order that it can then be placed in the refrigerator or freezer 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. The best way to defrost food is to put it in the refrigerator to thaw slowly. Remove suspect food from your refrigerator and clean the interior with a solution of bicarbonate of soda in warm water (5ml to 0. 5 Iitre of water). Never allow spillages to dry and harden. Ensure that food placed in the freezer is dated and labelled and used in date order to ensure that food is consumed at its best. It is important that food is used before its "best before" date. [. . . ] This is due to the air temperature within the refrigerator compartment being maintained at 6°C or under thus not calling the thermostat to energise the compressor . During a normal night time period of approximately 8 hours a traditional fridge freezer can normally maintain the frozen food temperature bur if the appliance is left for longer period in a low ambient the freezer will defrost . 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. [. . . ]
