What To Do If - Zanussi ZFU719EW Benutzerhandbuch

casing of this appliance is only cleaned with warm water
with a little washing-up liquid added.
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to the mains sup-
ply.
Defrosting the freezer
A certain amount of frost will always form on the freezer
shelves and around the top compartment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a thickness
of about 3-5 mm.
Important! About 12 hours prior to defrosting, set the
Temperature Regulator toward higher settings , in order to
build up sufficient chill reserve for the interruption in
operation.
To remove the frost, follow the instructions below:
1. Switch off the appliance and disconnect the mains
plug from the mains socket.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of
newspaper and put it in a cool place.
Caution! Do not touch frozen goods with wet hands.
Hands can freeze to the goods.
3. Leave the door open and insert the plastic scraper in
the appropriate seating at the bottom centre, placing
a basin underneath to collect the defrost water.
In order to speed
up the defrosting
process, place a pot of
warm water in the
freezer compartment. In
addition, remove
pieces of ice that break
away before defrosting
is complete.

What to do if...

Warning! Before troubleshooting, disconnect the
mains plug from the mains socket.
Only a qualified electrician or competent person must do
the troubleshooting that is not in this manual.
Important! There are some sounds during normal use
(compressor, refrigerant circulation).
4. When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thor-
oughly and keep the scraper for future use.
5. Switch on the appliance.
6. Turn the Temperature Regulator to the << -18 °C >>
position and leave to run for at least 4 hours in quick
freeze mode.
7. After 4 hours reload the previously removed food in-
to the compartments.
Warning! Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off
frost from the evaporator as you could damage it.
Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial means to
speed up the thawing process other than those
recommended by the manufacturer.
A temperature rise of the frozen food packs, during
defrosting, may shorten their safe storage life.
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long periods, take the
following precautions:
1. disconnect the appliance from electricity supply
2. remove all food
3. defrost and clean the appliance and all accessories
4. leave the door/doors open to prevent unpleasant
smells.
Important! If the cabinet will be kept on, ask somebody to
check it once in a while to prevent the food inside from
spoiling in case of a power failure.
Important! The appliance operates discontinuously, so the
stopping of compressor does not mean being no current.
That is why you must not touch the electrical parts of the
appliance before breaking the circuit.
