Looking After Your Fridge/Freezer - Zanussi DF67/42FF Instructions For The Use & Care

LOOKING AFTER YOUR FRIDGE/FREEZER
Defrosting
The cooling plate in the refrigerator compartment
is equipped with a fully automatic defrosting
arrangement which comes into operation at each
cycle of the thermostat.
The resultant water runs into the channel below
the cooling plate and down through the tube into
the evaporating tray at the rear of the appliance.
The defrost water then evaporates automatically.
Important
The defrost water drain hole should be cleared at
regular intervals to ensure that there are no food
particles blocking it. To do this, use either a
straw, pipe cleaner or thin, flexible wire (e.g. net
curtain wire without the end hooks), and insert
into the drain hole to a maximum of 6". (fig 2a).
The freezer section defrosts automatically at
regular intervals and no user maintenance is
required.
Cleaning
The appliance should be cleaned at regular
intervals. Before cleaning disconnect from the
electricity supply, empty the cabinet and take out
all the loose accessories.
Clean out the interior cabinet, door and
accessories with a clean cloth wrung out in a
solution of warm water and bicarbonate of soda
(one teaspoon to 600ml/l pint of water).
Cleaning the Drinks Dispenser
Rinse the container several times in hot water
every time it is re-filled. For a thorough cleaning
of the container, add a spoonful of bicarbonate of
soda to the rinsing water. Push the dispenser tap
on and off several times to allow sugar deposits
from soft drinks or wines to dissolve or,
alternatively, remove for cleaning by unscrewing
in an anticlockwise direction. Empty the
container and rinse thoroughly with clean water.
If you are using the dispenser to store fresh fmit
juice, particular attention should be paid to the
manufacturer's storage instructions. It is also
advisable to clean the dispenser thoroughly
between every filling, using a solution of
sterilising fluid.
NEVER USE DETERGENTS, ABRASIVE
POWDER, HIGHLY PERFUMED CLEANING
MATERIALS OR WAX POLISHES TO
CLEAN THE INTERIOR OF THE APPLIANCE
AS THESE WILL DAMAGE THE SURFACES
AND LEAVE A STRONG SMELL.
The exterior should be occasionally dusted or
wiped over with a damp cloth and a small amount
of detergent, but not the door seal which should
be cleaned with a bicarbonate of soda solution.
A small amount of wax polish or silicon spray
should be used to maintain the gloss finish of the
outside cabinet.
The motor compressor and condenser should be
cleaned of dust occasionally using a brush or
vacuum cleaner.
Strong smelling food may leave the fridge with a
slight odour. A small dish of bicarbonate of soda
solution placed in the fridge should slowly absorb
these smells.
