First Use; Helpful Hints And Tips - Zanussi ZFU20200WA User Manual

Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out of
use, before putting the products in the com-
partment let the appliance run at least 2 hours.
The freezer drawers ensure that it is quick and
easy to find the food package you want. If
large quantities of food are to be stored, re-
move all drawers except for the bottom drawer
which needs to be in place to provide good air
circulation. On all shelves it is possible to
place food that protrude until 15 mm from the
door.
Important! In the event of accidental
defrosting, for example due to a power failure,
if the power has been off for longer that 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 in the refrigerator com-
partment or at room temperature, depending
on the time available for this operation.

First use

Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first time,

Helpful hints and tips

Normal Operating Sounds
• You may hear a faint gurgling and a bub-
bling sound when the refrigerant is pumped
through the coils or tubing. This is correct.
• When the compressor is on, the refrigerant
is being pumped around and you will hear a
whirring sound and a pulsating noise from
the compressor. This is correct.
• The thermic dilatation might cause a sudden
cracking noise. It is natural, not dangerous
physical phenomenon. This is correct.

Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen,
directly from the freezer: in this case, cooking
will take longer.
Removal of freezing baskets from the
freezer
The freezing baskets have a limit stop to pre-
vent their accidental removal or falling out. At
the time of its removal from the freezer, pull the
basket towards yourself and, upon reaching
the end point, remove the basket by tilting its
front upwards.
At the time of putting it back, slightly lift the
front of the basket to insert it into the freezer.
Once you are over the end points, push the
baskets back in their position.

so as to remove the typical smell of a brand-
new product, then dry thoroughly.
Important! Do not use detergents or abrasive
powders, as these will damage the finish.
• When the compressor switches on or
switches off, you will hear a faint "click" of
the temperature regulator. This is correct.
Hints for energy saving
• Do not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than absolutely necessary.
• If the ambient temperature is high and the
Temperature Regulator is set to low temper-
ature and the appliance is fully loaded, the
compressor may run continuously, causing
frost or ice on the evaporator. If this hap-
pens, set the Temperature Regulator toward
warmer settings to allow automatic defrost-
