Zanussi ZRT23105WA, User Manual

• freeze only 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

polythene 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

removal 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.

Defrosting of the refrigerator

Frost is automatically eliminated from the

evaporator of the refrigerator compartment

every time the motor compressor stops, during

normal use. The defrost water drains out

through a trough into a special container at the

back of the appliance, over the motor

compressor, where it evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the defrost

water drain hole in the middle of the refrigerator

compartment channel to prevent the water

overflowing and dripping onto the food inside.
