Defrosting The Freezer; Periods Of Non-Operation; What To Do If; Possible Cause - Zanussi ZBA3224A Benutzerinformation

It is important to periodically clean the defrost water
drain hole in the middle of the refrigerator compartment
channel to prevent the water overflowing and dripping
onto the food inside. Use the special cleaner provided,
which you will find already inserted into the drain hole.

Defrosting the freezer

A certain amount of frost will always form on the
freezer shelves and around the top compartment.
Important! Defrost the freezer when the frost layer
reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.
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 door open.
4. When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thor-
oughly and refit the plug.

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.

ate. The lamp does not oper-
ate.

Possible cause

The appliance is switched off.
The mains plug is not connected to
the mains socket correctly.

5. Switch on the appliance.
6. Set the temperature regulator to obtain the maxi-
mum coldness and run the appliance for two or
three hours using this setting.
7. Reload the previously removed food into the com-
partment.
Important! 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.
