Zanussi ZCF269, Operating And Installation Manual

If you are still unable to solve the problem, summon the

assistance of authorised service staff.
Do not take any other steps. Incorrect procedure may

cause personal injury or lead to additional defects.
It is quite normal for the freezer to seem warm on the

outside occasionally, owing to the heat generated by the

freezing process. This heat also helps to prevent the

formation of moisture on the outside of the appliance which

could cause rust.
If the freezer has been switched off briefly, the compressor

may not start immediately when the current is re-

connected. This is quite normal.

IN THE CASE OF A POWER FAILURE OR

BREAKDOWN

The hold-over period mentioned in the "Technical

Specification" section of this book refers to an estimated

time the freezer temperature will take to rise to an

unacceptable level for keeping frozen foods.
Providing the period of power failure or breakdown does not

exceed the hold-over period there will be no risk of damage

to the frozen food, providing you do not open the lid during

this period.
If the freezer is only half full or the lid is opened this will

reduce the hold-over time.
After the breakdown period you are recommended to

check the condition of food to ensure it has not started to

thaw. Frozen food must NOT be re-frozen once it has

thawed out. 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:

ie. 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.

HOW TO CHANGE THE BULB

Before changing the bulb, isolate the appliance from the

electricity supply. Exert pressure to remove the light

glass as shown in the drawing. Unscrew the bulb, and

replace it with a new bulb (max. 15W). Then re-connect

the electricity supply. Extra bulbs are available from your

local Electrolux Service Centre.
