Zanussi Electrolux Fridge-freezer, Instruction Booklet

6

This freezer, is marked                  , and is suitable
for freezing fresh foodstuffs and keeping food for
long periods.

Freezing of food

1... Place food on the upper grill.

2... Maintain food for at least 24 hours in that posi-

tion. 

3... The maximum quantity to be frozen within 24

hours is shown on the «Rating Plate», depending
on the model. 

Keeping frozen food

For optimum consevation, the temperature inside the
freezer compartment must be at least -18°C.
This temperature is adjusted automatically.
Check that the

«Temperature Control»

is in a midd-

le  position. Sometimes it may be necessary (insuffi-
cient ventilation, high roon temperature, frequent
opening and closing of the door…) to change the
position of the

«Temperature Control».

If the appliance should be accidentally switched off by
a fault or power cut, take the following precautions:

•  Keep the doors closed at all times.

•  Find out how long the stoppage is expected to last.

Once normal power is restored: 

A) If the freezer is full and the stoppage has been

less than

«Time for temperature Rise»

indicated

for each model in the «Technical Features» sec-
tion, then no damage will have been caused to the
food.

B) If the freezer is not full, the cold will be lost more

quickly. If the food has not started to thaw, then
follow the instructions in «A». 

C) If the food has begun to thaw, use them up as

quickly as possible, or cook them and refreeze
them.

Useful Hints

™

Do not introduce any new food during a freezing
period.

™

Do not put any newly introduced food for freezing
near to already frozen food.

™

Wrap the food up properly or place it in hermethic
recipies before introducing it into the freezer.

™

Do not introduce any hot food into the freezer.

™

Food and drinks of a strong flavour may pass this
on to others and affect their flavour. Wrap them up
adequately or put them into tight closing bags.

™

Follow the instructions given in the cook books,
freezing books and wrapping utensiles for better
conservation of food.

Freezer Compartment

This compartment is for storing drinks and fresh food products.
The temperature inside is very evenly distributed. Make sure food does not touch the back wall,

since

behind this surface is where the cold is generated and food could bee partially frozen. Also, this can impede the
circulation of cold air.
This appliance is provided with an automatic defrosting system. Consequently you will sometimes notice a thin
layer of ice or drops of water on the rear wall.
