Handling The Appliance; Putting It Into Use; Controlling The Temperature, Setting; How To Use The Cooling Compartment - Zanussi ZRD 27 JC Gebrauchsanleitung

Handling the appliance

Putting it into use

Place the accessories into the refrigerator then plug to the
mains socket. To start cooling turn the control dial on the
right-hand side of the fresh food compartment from „0"
clockwise according to the figure. In „0" position the appli-
ance is out of operation.
The next paragraph will give instructions for setting.

Controlling the temperature, setting

The thermostatic controller interrupts the operation of the
appliance automatically for more or less time depending
on the setting then restarts it assuring the required tem-
perature.
Turning the control knob towards the bigger numbers
cooling becomes more and more intensive.
In the freezer -18 °C or lower temperature can be
reached, if the thermostatic control knob is set to the
„Medium" (approx. 2-3) position. In this case the temper-
ature developing automatically in the freezer is about +5
°C or lower. „Medium" position (2-3) is usually adequate
for everyday use.
The temperature coming about in the refrigerator is effect-
ed by not only the position of the thermostatic control but
the ambient temperature, frequency of door openings and
the quantity of food put into it newly, etc.
In the maximum i.e. „6" position - in case of
increased demand e.g. during heatwaves - the
compressor may operate continually. This does not
cause damages to the appliance.

How to use the cooling compartment

Developing interior air circulation is necessary for
adequate cooling. For this reason you are asked
not to cover the whole surface of the wire shelves with
paper, trays, etc.
Do not put hot food into the refrigerator. Allow it
to reach room temperature naturally. In this way
unnecessary frost building up can be avoided.
Foods can take over odours from each other.
So it is essential to put foods in closed dishes
or wrap them in cellophane, aluminium foil, grease-
proof paper or cling film before placing them into the
refrigerator. This way foods will keep their moisture
e.g. vegetables will not dry out after some days.

Storing in the refrigerator

When placing the different kinds of food take into consid-
eration the sketch below in figure:
1. Butter, cheese
2. Eggs
3. Tubes, cans, sour cream, small bottles
4. Drinks in big bottles, soda-water and mousse
siphon
5. Fruits, vegetables, salads
6. Fresh meat, cold cuts, sausages, etc.
7. Milk, dairy products
8. Ready-cooked foods, confectionery, foods in
dishes covered, opened cans, bottles laid, etc.
Storage time and temperature of
foods
The storage time chart at the end of the instruction book
gives information about storage time.
The storage time can not be determined exactly in
advance, as it depends on the freshness and handling of
the cooled food. That is why the storage time made known
is only informative.
If you do not want to use up deep-frozen foods bought
immediately they can be stored for about 1 day (until dis-
solving) in the refrigerator.
