Zanussi FREEZER ZV 47, Instruction Booklet

Important

In the event of a power failure causing 
the temperature within your freezer to 
rise, do not re-freeze the food without 
checking its condition. The following 
guidelines should assist you:

Ice-cream: once thawed should be
discarded.
Fruits & Vegetables: if soft should be 
cooked and used up.
Breads & Cakes: can be re-frozen without 
danger.
Shellfish: should be refrigerated and used 
up quickly.
Cooked Dishes: i.e. casseroles should be 
refrigerated and used up.
Large Pieces of Meat: can be re-frozen 
providing there are still ice crystals 
remaining within them.
Small Joints: should be cooked and can 
then be re-frozen as cooked dishes.
Chicken: should also be cooked and re-
frozen as a cooked dish.

Turn the thermostat control to a medium setting
between 2 and 4 and push in the «fast freeze»
control knob. After letting the appliance run for at
least two hours in the «fast freeze» mode, replace
the previously removed food into the compartments.
Do not forget to release the «fast freeze» control
knob when you replace the food in the freezer.

Important

A temperature rise of the frozen food packs 
during defrosting may shorten their 
storage life.

Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off 
frost from the evaporator as you could dam-
age the appliance beyond repair.

Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried
out, DISCONNECT the appliance from the
ELECTRICITY supply.

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.

External cleaning

Wash the outer cabinet door 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 figure.
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.

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.
