Zanussi ZBT20420SA - Manual (Page 18)

However, for a faster freezing operation, turn
the temperature regulator toward higher set-
tings to obtain the maximum coldness.
Important! In this condition, the refrigerator
compartment temperature might drop below
0°C. If this occurs reset the temperature
regulator to a warmer setting.
Place the fresh food to be frozen on the top
compartment.
Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out of
use, before putting the products in the com-
partment let the appliance run at least 2 hours
on the higher settings.
Important! In the event of accidental
defrosting, for example due to a power failure, if
the power has been off for longer than the
value shown in the technical characteristics
chart under "rising time", the defrosted food
must be consumed quickly or cooked
immediately and then re-frozen (after cooling).
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used,
can be thawed in the refrigerator compartment
or at room temperature, depending on the time
available for this operation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen,
directly from the freezer: in this case, cooking
will take longer.
Ice-cube production
This appliance is equipped with one or more
trays for the production of ice-cubes. Fill these
trays with water, then put them in the freezer
compartment.
Important! Do not use metallic instruments to
remove the trays from the freezer.
Movable shelves
The walls of the re-
frigerator are equip-
ped with a series of
runners so that the
shelves can be posi-
tioned as desired.
Positioning the door shelves
To permit storage of
food packages of var-
ious sizes, the door
shelves can be
placed at different
heights.
Gradually pull the
shelf in the direction
of the arrows until it
comes free, then re-
position as required.
Helpful hints and tips
Hints for energy saving
• Do not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than absolutely necessary.
• If the ambient temperature is high and the
Temperature Regulator is set to low temper-
ature and the appliance is fully loaded, the
compressor may run continuously, causing
frost or ice on the evaporator. If this happens,
set the Temperature Regulator toward warm-
er settings to allow automatic defrosting and
so a saving in electricity consumption.
Hints for fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
• do not store warm food or evaporating liq-
uids in the refrigerator
• do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it
has a strong flavour
• position food so that air can circulate freely
around it
