Zanussi ZRB934FX2 - Manual (Page 50)

• do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch
food which is already frozen, thus avoiding a
rise in temperature of the latter;
• lean foods store better and longer than fatty
ones; salt reduces the storage life of food;
• water ices, if consumed immediately after re-
moval from the freezer compartment, can
possibly cause the skin to be freeze burnt;
• it is advisable to show the freezing in date on
each individual pack to enable you to keep
tab of the storage time.
Hints for storage of frozen food
The freezer baskets ensure that it is quick and
easy to find the food package you want. If large
quantities of food are to be stored, remove all
drawers except for the bottom basket which
needs to be in place to provide good air circu-
lation.
To obtain the best performance from this appli-
ance, you should:
• make sure that the commercially frozen food-
stuffs were adequately stored by the retailer;
• be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred
from the foodstore to the freezer in the short-
est possible time;
• not open the door frequently or leave it open
longer than absolutely necessary;
• once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and
cannot be refrozen;
• do not exceed the storage period indicated
by the food manufacturer.
Care and cleaning
Caution! Unplug the appliance before
carrying out any maintenance operation.
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in
its cooling unit; maintenance and recharg-
ing must therefore only be carried out by au-
thorized technicians.
Periodic cleaning
The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
• clean the inside and accessories with luke-
warm water and some neutral soap.
• regularly check the door seals and wipe
clean to ensure they are clean and free from
debris.
• rinse and dry thoroughly.
Important! Do not pull, move or damage any
pipes and/or cables inside the cabinet.
Never use detergents, abrasive powders, highly
perfumed cleaning products or wax polishes to
clean the interior as this will damage the
surface and leave a strong odour.
Clean the condenser (black grill) and the com-
pressor at the back of the appliance with a
brush. This operation will improve the perform-
ance of the appliance and save electricity con-
sumption.
Important! Take care of not to damage the
cooling system.
Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners con-
tain chemicals that can attack/damage the
plastics used in this appliance. For this reason
it is recommended that the outer casing of this
appliance is only cleaned with warm water with
a little washing-up liquid added.
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to the
mains supply.
Defrosting of the refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from the evap-
orator of the refrigerator compartment every
time the motor compressor stops, during nor-
mal use. The defrost water drains out through a
trough into a special container at the back of
the appliance, over the motor compressor,
where it evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the defrost
water drain hole in the middle of the refrigerator
compartment channel to prevent the water
overflowing and dripping onto the food inside.
Use the special cleaner provided, which you
will find already inserted into the drain hole.
