Zanussi ZEF 100 W - Manual (Page 4)

Warning light (red)
If the temperature warning light
➃
lights up, it
indicates that the temperature within the freezer has
reached a level where safe food storage is no longer
ensured.
When the freezer is first switched on, the warning
light will stay on until the temperature has dropped to
a safe level for the storage of frozen food.
Freezing fresh food
In any 24 hour period you can freeze up to 12 kg of
fresh food.
Activate fast freeze by sliding the fast freeze switch
➀
to the left (fast freeze position) 24 hours before
you want to freeze your fresh food, the yellow light
➁
illuminates. This time can be shortened
depending on the quantity of food to be frozen. After
the time has elapsed place the food to be frozen in
the top compartment of the freezer as this is the
coldest part.
In the top compartment, products must only be
stacked up to the mark on the cabinet wall so as to
ensure that air circulation is not obstructed.
Once the food is completely frozen (which could take
up to 24 hours) return the fast freeze switch to the
ÇOFFÈ position; the yellow light
➁
goes off.
Distribute the frozen food packages in the other
compartments, so that the top compartment can be
used for a further freezing operation.

Freezer controls
Starting your appliance
Insert the plug into the wall socket. The pilot light ➂
will light up to show that the appliance is on.
Temperature control
The temperature inside the freezer is regulated by a
thermostat with 6 temperature positions and one
ÇOFFÈ (O) position.
Position 1 = minimum cold
Position 6 = maximum cold
Turn the thermostat dial to the required position.
An intermediate position is usually the most suitable,
although the temperature will be affected by:
¥ Room temperature
¥ How often the door is opened
¥ How much food is stored
¥ Position of the appliance
In determining the correct temperature control setting
all these factors have to be considered and some
experimentation may be necessary.
To obtain a colder temperature, turn the thermostat
control to the higher numbers; to obtain a warmer
temperature turn the control to the lower numbers.
When altering the temperature setting, allow 24
hours for the temperature to stablise before making
further changes.
For easier turning of this control, use a small coin.
