Zanussi ZFU25200, User Manual

• the maximum quantity of food which can be

frozen in 24 hrs. is shown on the rating plate;

• the freezing process takes 24 hours. No fur-

ther food to be frozen should be added dur-
ing this period;

• only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly

cleaned, foodstuffs;

• prepare food in small portions to enable it to

be rapidly and completely frozen and to make
it possible subsequently to thaw only the
quantity required;

• wrap up the food in aluminium foil or poly-

thene and make sure that the packages are
airtight;

• 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

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 recharging

must therefore only be carried out by authorized
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 plas-
tics used in this appliance. For this reason it is
recommended that the outer casing of this ap-
pliance 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 freezer

The freezer compartment of this model, on the
other hand, is a "no frost" type. This means that
there is no buildup of frost when it is in opera-
tion, neither on the internal walls nor on the
foods.
