Periods Of Non-Operation; What To Do If - Zanussi ZFC21JE Benutzerinformation

Defrosting the freezer
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a thickness
of about 10-15 mm.
The best time to defrost the freezer when it contains no or
only a little food.
To remove the frost, do these steps:
1. Switch off the appliance.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of
newspaper and put it in a cool place.
3. Leave the lid open , remove the plug from the defrost
water drain and collect all defrost water on a tray. Use
a scraper to remove ice quickly.
4. When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thor-
oughly and refit the plug.
5. Switch on the appliance.
6. Set the temperature regulator to obtain the maximum
coldness and run the appliance for two or three hours
using this setting.
7. Reload the previously removed food into the com-
partment.

38
Possible cause
The appliance is not supported prop-
erly.
The temperature is not set correctly.
The lid has been opened too frequent-
ly.
The lid is not closed properly.
Large quantities of food to be frozen
were put in at the same time.
Food placed in the appliance was too
warm.
The temperature of the room that con-
tains the appliance is too high for ef-
ficient operation.
Important! Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost
as you could damage the appliance. 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. Switch off the appliance.
2. Disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket.
3. Remove all food.
4. Defrost and clean the appliance and all accessories.
5. Leave the lid 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! There are some sounds during normal use
(compressor, refrigerant circulation).
Check if the appliance stands stable (all
the four feet should be on the floor).
Set a warmer temperature.
Do not leave the lid open longer than
necessary.
Check if the lid closes well and the gas-
kets are undamaged and clean.
Wait some hours and then check the
temperature again.
Allow food to cool to room temperature
before storing.
Try to reduce the temperature in the
room where the appliance stands.
