First Use; Daily Use; Care And Cleaning - Zanussi ZFT710W Benutzerinformation

However, the exact setting should be chosen keeping in
mind that the temperature inside the appliance depends
on:
• room temperature
• how often the door is opened
• the quantity of food stored
• the location of the appliance.
Fast Freeze function
If more than 3-4 kg of food is to be frozen:
1. Press the Freezer Switch to activate the fast-freeze
function 6-24 hours before placing the fresh food in
the freezer, the Yellow Indicator Light will illuminate.
The compressor will now run continuously, to ensure
that the fresh food is frozen as quickly as possible.
2. It is possible to deactivate the function at any time by
pressing the Freezer Switch.

First use

Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first time, wash the inte-
rior and all internal accessories with lukewarm water and
some neutral soap so as to remove the typical smell of a
brand-new product, then dry thoroughly.

Daily use

Freezing fresh food
The freezer (top) compartment is suitable for freezing fresh
food and storing frozen and deep-frozen food for a long
time.
To freeze fresh food activate the fast freeze function.
The maximum amount of food that can be frozen in 24
hours is specified on the rating plate , a label located on
the inside of the appliance.
The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during this period do
not add other food to be frozen.
Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out of use, before
putting the products in the compartment let the appliance
run at least 2 hours on the higher settings.

Care and cleaning

Caution! Unplug the appliance before carrying out
any maintenance operation.

3. Place the food in the freezing (top) compartment and
leave the Freezer Switch on for a further 24 hours.
4. Then push the Freezer Switch again (the Yellow Indi-
cator Light will go out and the switch turns to its orig-
inal position).
5. Move frozen food from the top (freezer) compartment
into the other two compartments (storing compart-
ments). For maximum freezing performance remove
the top drawer (if the drawer is foreseen) and then
place the foods to be frozen directly on the evapora-
tor. In case of freezing smaller food volumes you do
not need to remove the drawer.
If the Freezer Switch is accidentally left on, the
freezer will not be damaged, but energy will be was-
ted.
Important! Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as
these will damage the finish.
Important! In the event of accidental defrosting, for
example due to a power failure, if the power has been off
for longer than the value shown in the technical
characteristics chart under "rising time", the defrosted
food must be consumed quickly or cooked immediately
and then re-frozen (after cooling).
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be
thawed at room temperature.
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly
from the freezer: in this case, cooking will take longer.
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling
unit; maintenance and recharging must therefore
only be carried out by authorized technicians.
