OPERATION
Before use
To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are
some more useful hints:
Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & poultry): wrap in
polythene bags and place on top of the salad
drawers.
Remove all securing tapes. Wash inside the
appliance with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of
soda
(5 ml to 0.5 litre of water). Do not use soap or
detergent as the smell may linger. Dry thoroughly.
Meat can only be stored safely in this way for
one or two days at the most.
Setting the temperature
The temperature inside the refrigerator is regulated
by a thermostat with 6 temperature positions and one
«OFF» (O) position.
Position 1 = minimum coldness
Position 6 = maximum coldness
Turn the thermostat dial to the required position.
An intermediate position is usually the most suitable,
although the temperature will be affected by:
Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly
cleaned and placed in the bottom salad drawers.
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.
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with
runners so that shelves can be positioned as
desired.
l
Room temperature
l How often the door is opened
l How much food is stored
l Position of the appliance
In determining the correct temperature control setting
all these factors have to be considered and some
experimentation may be necessary.
When altering the temperature setting, allow 24
hours for the temperature to stablise before making
further changes.
Important
D040
If the fridge is not defrosting correctly, it is
possible that because a very low tempera-
ture has been selected, the motor is working
continuously, which prevents the defrost
cycle from operating.
To ensure correct defrosting, a lower num-
ber should be selected on the thermostat
and you should notice that the motor cuts
out from time to time, which is correct.
If you wish to return to a lower temperature,
turn the thermostat to a higher number, how
ever you should turn the setting lower occa-
sionally to allow automatic defrosting.
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.
When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being
pumped round, and you will hear a whirring sound or
pulsating noise from the compressor.
A thermostat controls the compressor, and you will
hear a faint ‘click’ when the thermostat cuts in and
out.
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.

HEALTH AND SAFETY GUIDELINES
Because of consumer demand, preservatives have been removed from many pre-prepared foods.
This together with the changes in shopping habits to a once-a-week shop, mean that safe handling and
storage of food is even more important than ever.
The following tips should help you to ensure that
the food in your home is in as perfect condition
as possible.
■
■
■
Never allow spillages to dry and harden.
Keep the time between buying chilled food and
placing it in your fridge as short as possible. Tests
showed that the temperature of 1 litre 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.
Store eggs in the egg rack provided in the
refrigerator door. Discard any broken or chipped
eggs.
■
■
■
Regularly check the refrigerator door seal to
ensure that it is clean and free from debris.
■
■
■
Keep the refrigerator door closed as much as
possible.
Always wash your hands with soapy water and
dry them with a clean towel before handling food.
Do not push food together too much, try to allow
air to circulate around each item.
Keep work surfaces clean and avoid cross
contamination by not using the same work
surface or knife, without washing them thoroughly
in between.
Cool cooked food as quickly as possible but do
NOT place in the refrigerator until cool. (Leave
food in a cool place in order that it can then be
placed in the refrigerator 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.
■
■
Do not store food uncovered.
Remove suspect food from your refrigerator and
clean the interior (see “Maintenance and
Cleaning”).

DEFROSTING
The refrigerator automatically defrosts every time the
compressor stops. The water is discharged, via the
pipe, into a tray located at the back of the appliance
above the compressor, where it evaporates.
Important
To avoid defrost water overflowing into
the fridge, periodically clean the water
discharge hole in the centre of the V
shaped drip collector at the back of the
refrigerator compartment behind the fruit
and salad drawers. Use the special
cleaner provided which you will find
already inserted into the discharge hole.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried
out, DISCONNECT the appliance from the
ELECTRICITY supply.
When the appliance is not in use
When the appliance is not in use for long periods,
disconnect from the electricity supply, empty all
foods and clean the appliance, leaving the door ajar
to prevent unpleasant smells.
Internal cleaning
Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and
bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0.5 litre of water). Rinse
and dry thoroughly.
NEVER USE DETERGENTS, ABRASIVE POWDERS,
HIGHLY PERFUMED CLEANING PRODUCTS OR
WAX POLISHES, TO CLEAN THE INTERIOR AS
THESE WILL DAMAGE THE SURFACE AND LEAVE
A STRONG SMELL.
Clean the drain hole of the water trough at regular
intervals and make sure that the drain hole is never
obstructed, so that the defrost water may flow freely.
External cleaning
Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. Do
NOT use abrasive products.
Once or twice a year dust the condenser (black grill)
and the compressor at the back of the appliance, with
a brush or vacuum cleaner, see the figure.
CONDENSER
You MUST ensure that the appliance is switched OFF.
An accumulation of dust will affect the performance of
the appliance and cause excessive electricity
consumption.
COMPRESSOR
D358
Changing the light bulb
Should the interior light fail to work, first switch off the
appliance and disconnect from the electricity supply,
then replace the bulb as follows, see figure.
Unscrew the light cover and then pull it outward
toward the middle of the cabinet. Unscrew the bulb
and replace it with a new 15 watt bulb (available from
your nearest Zanussi Service Centre).
Replace the light cover by sliding it into its original
position and replacing the screw.

INSTALLATION
Positioning
For this appliance to work efficiently, it must not be
located where the temperatures will fall below 16°C
(61°F) or rise above 32°C (90°F), e.g. conservatories.
For correct operation this appliance must be located in
a dry atmosphere, away from heat sources, e.g.
cookers, radiators, boilers and direct sunlight.
You should also ensure that air can circulate freely
around the back and the top of the cabinet. There
should be a minimum distance between the top of the
cabinet and any overhanging kitchen furniture as
shown in the figure.
A
B
Do not obstruct the space underneath. The back of the
cabinet may be placed close to the wall but must not
touch it. DO NOT install in places with restricted
ventilation.
NP006
Adjust the level of the appliance by screwing out the
adjustable foot, or feet, at the bottom of the cabinet
using your fingers.

Door Reversal
Before carrying out the operations described below,
pull out the mains plug from the wall socket.
To carry out this reversal go through the following
steps:
1. Gently lay the appliance on its back with the top
held away from the floor by 5-8 cm (2-3 inches) of
packing.
2. Remove the bottom door hinge (5).
3. Remove the door (4) by opening it and pulling it
gently downwards to remove it from the top hinge
pin (2).
4. Unscrew the top hinge pin (2) from the top hinge (1)
and replace it in the opposite hole on the left hand
side.
5. Unscrew the foot at the base (6) of the appliance
and refit it on the opposite side.
6. Refit the door and the bottom hinge to the left hand
side.
When positioning the bottom hinge blade on the
reverse side, the securing screws will require a
degree of exersion when fitting.
It is therefore advisable to lubricate the screw tips
before starting this operation.
Important
After completion of the door reversal opera-
tion, verify that the door gasket is sealing
onto the cabinet.
