Practical advice on freezing  
When freezing products, use the top shelf, and if  
necessary the shelf beneth that.  
Place the foods directly on the freezer shelves.  
Spread out the products as much as possible to  
allow air to circulate between them.  
Do not place food products which are to be  
frozen directly against other frozen food.  
The heat from the unfrozen food may cause  
the frozen food to thaw on the surface.  
Once frozen, re-arrange the products and put  
them as close as possible to each other.  
The food will then stay cold longer in the  
event of a power failure.  
Do not freeze too much food at the same time.  
The freezing capacity of the unit is indicated in  
the specifications section.  
Alarms and other features  
Temperature alarm  
A red warning lamp lights if it gets warmer than  
-12°C. Find out what caused the alarm and correct  
the situation. The lamp goes out when it becomes  
colder than -13°C.  
Suitable storage periods  
Food purchased in frozen condition: Follow the  
advice on the maximum storage period indicated on  
the packaging.  
Food frozen at home:  
Fatty and salty food should not be kept frozen for  
more than three months. Cooked food and low-fat  
food may be kept up to about six months. Lean food  
and berries can be kept for approximately one year.  
Temperature inside the freezer  
To ensure that foodstuff will keep for a long time, be  
sure that the temperature inside the freezer is -18°C  
or below. Please note, however, that the energy  
consumption increases as the temperature decreases.  
Thawing  
It is best to use a fridge to thaw food. Place the  
foodstuff on a plate with a raised edge to prevent  
liquids from running out. To quickly thaw food, put  
it in room temperature or in cold water. When using  
a microwave oven to thaw foodstuffs, follow the  
manufacturer’s instructions.

Cabinet interior  
Freezer drawers  
The freezer drawers make it easy to quickly and  
easily find the food package you want. To gain  
space, the drawers can be removed and the products  
can be put directly on the shelves. On all shelves,  
except the top shelf, it is possible to place products  
that protrude 20 mm from the front edge. This  
allows maximum use of the available space.  
Do not remove the bottom drawer. It is required to  
assure proper air circulation.  
Ice cubes  
Fill the ice tray to max. 3/4 since water expands as it  
freezes. Release the ice cubes by twisting the ice  
tray.  
If ice cubes are kept for a long time, they will dry  
out and the taste is affected. Thus, throw away old  
ice cubes and prepare new ones when needed.  
Removeable shelf  
There is a middle shelf inside the freezer. Remove  
the shelf when large food products need to be frozen.

Hints and Tips  
GB  
frozen food in the frezzer immerdiately.  
Energy Saving Advice  
Ennsure that food placed in teh freezer is dated  
and labelled and used in date order to ensure that  
food is consumed at its best.  
Do not install the cabinet close to sources of heat  
such as a cooker, dishwasher or radiator.  
Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilated  
room and make sure that the air openings of the  
cabinet are not obstructed.  
Always leave warm food to cool down to room  
temperature before placing in the fridge.  
Try to avoid keeping the door open for long  
periods, or opening the door too frquently as  
warm air will enter the cabinet, and cause the  
compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.  
Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the  
door from cloosing properly.  
It is advisable to periodically clean the  
refrigeration system at the back of the appliance  
with a duster or vacuum cleaner.  
Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by  
packing all foodstuffs into airtight packages  
before placing them in the freezer.  
Remove suspect food from you refrigerator and  
clean, refer to cleaning and maintenance.  
In the event of a power failure causing the  
temperature within your freezer to rise, do not  
refreeze the food without checking its condition.  
Thre following guidelines should assist you.  
Ice-cream: once thawed should be discarded.  
Fruits & Vegetables: if soft should be cooked and  
used up.  
Breads & Cakes: can be re-frozen without danger.  
Shellfish: should be refrigerated and used up  
quickly.  
Cooked Dishes: i.e. casseroles should be  
refrigerated and used up  
Large Pieces of Meat: can be re-frozen providing  
there are still ice crystals remaining within them.  
Small Joints: should be cooked and can then be  
refrozen as cooked dishes.  
Chicken: should also be cooked and re-frozen as a  
cooked dish.  
Carefully follow the advice on freezing products  
in the section ”Use”. This will prevent wasting  
energy.  
Do not set the temperature too low in the freezer.  
A suitable temperature is in the range of -18°C  
to -20°C .  
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a  
thickness of 3-5 mm. Regularly check the door  
seal to ensure that it is clean and free from debris.  
Make sure the door gasket is complete and  
always clean.  
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  
plate/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.  
Food Storage  
Avoid buying frozen food if you can not store it  
straight away. The use of an isulated container is  
advisable. When you arrive home place the  
A thermostat controls the compressor and you  
will hear a faint “click” when the termostat cuts  
in and out.  
Maintenance and Cleaning  
GB  
Before any maintenance or cleaning  
work is carried out DISCONNECT the  
appliance from the ELECTRICITY  
supply  
Removing the ventilation grille  
The ventilation grille can be removed, e.g. to wash  
the grille.  
Make sure the door is open when removing the  
ventilation grille. Unsnap the upper edge of the grille  
by pulling outward/downward. Then pull the grille  
straight out to completely remove it.  
8
Zanussi 818 15 02-00/9  
 
When moving the cabinet, lift it by  
the front edge to avoid scratching  
the floor.  
Internal Cleaning  
Clean the inside and the accessories with warm  
water and bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0,5 litre of  
water).  
Rinse and dry thoroughly.  
Do not use detergents, abrasive  
powders, high perfumed cleaning  
products, wax polishes or cleaning  
products containing bleach or alcohol .  
Regulary check the door seals and wipe clean to  
ensure they are clean and free from debris.  
External Cleaning  
Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water.  
Remove the ventilation grille (see the section  
”Removing the ventilation grille”) and vacuum-clean  
under the cabinet. Once or twice a year dust the  
condenser (black grille) and the compressor at the  
back of the appliance, with a brush or vacuum  
cleaner, as an accumulation of dust will affect the  
performance of the appliance and cause excessive  
electricity consumption.  
Never use a hair drier or other heating  
appliances to speed up defrosting. Excessive  
heat may damage the plastic interior, and  
humidity could enter the electric appliance  
making it live.  
Defrosting the freezer  
A certain amount of frost will always form on the  
freezer shelves and around the top compartment.  
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a  
thickness of about 3-5 mm.  
Remove the freezer drawers and place them on top  
of each other by turning every other drawer one half  
turn. Put insulating material around the drawers, e.g.  
blankets or newspapers.  
The frozen products can also be packed closely  
together and be kept in a cold location, e.g. in the  
fridge.  
Defrosting can be accelerated by placing bowls with  
hot water (not boiling) inside the freezer.  
Take out the drain spout and place it in the bottom  
freezer drawer where water can collect.  
Loosen the ventilation grille to enable the bowl to fit  
under the drain spout.  
Carefully scrape off the ice when it starts to thaw.  
Use a wood or plastic scraper. Do not use sharp  
objects as these may damage the interior.  
When all the ice has melted, clean and wipe the  
cabinet dry, then push the drain spout back in place.  
Switch on the cabinet and replace the frozen  
foodstuff.
