Zanussi ZXAN9FW0, User Manual

• Do not open the door frequently or leave it open

longer than necessary.

• Freezer: The colder the temperature setting, the

higher the energy consumption.

• Fridge: Do not set too high temperature to save

energy unless it is required by the

characteristics of the food.

• If the ambient temperature is high and the

temperature control is set to low temperature

and the appliance is fully loaded, the

compressor may run continuously, causing frost

or ice formation on the evaporator. In this case,

set the temperature control toward higher

temperature to allow automatic defrosting and

to save energy this way.

• Ensure a good ventilation. Do not cover the

ventilation grilles or holes.

HINTS FOR STORAGE OF FROZEN FOOD
• Freezer compartment is the one marked with

.

• Higher temperature setting inside the appliance

may lead to shorter shelf life.

• The whole freezer compartment is suitable for

storage of frozen food products.

• Leave enough space around the food to allow

air to circulate freely.

• For adequate storage refer to food packaging

label to see the shelf life of food.

• It is important to wrap the food in such a way

that prevents water, humidity or condensation

from getting inside.

SHOPPING TIPS
After grocery shopping:
• Ensure that the packaging is not damaged - the

food could be deteriorated. If the package is

swollen or wet, it might have not been stored in

the optimal conditions and defrosting may have

already started.

• To limit the defrosting process buy frozen goods

at the end of your grocery shopping and

transport them in a thermal and insulated cool

bag.

• Place the frozen foods immediately in the freezer

after coming back from the shop.

• If food has defrosted even partially, do not re-

freeze it. Consume it as soon as possible.

• Respect the expiry date and the storage

information on the package.
