Thawing; Making Ice Cubes; Normal Operating Sounds; Fresh Food Refrigeration - Zanussi ZT 52 Instruction Booklet

Thawing

Food can be thawed in a number of ways, depend-
ing on the type of food and the size of the packs.
Meat, fish and fruit should be thawed in the refriger-
ation compartment and small pieces of meat can
even be cooked while still frozen, but you must
ensure that it is thoroughly cooked through.
Vegetables should be directly immersed in boiling
water; ready-cooked dishes can be placed directly in
the oven in their aluminium wrapping.
A microwave oven is particularly suitable for thawing
any type of frozen or deep-frozen food: follow the
oven instructions, particularly regarding the place-
ment of aluminium wrapping in the oven.

Making ice cubes

The appliance is provided with a plastic ice cube
tray. Fill the tray 3/4 full to allow the ice to expand
and place it in the
out the ice cubes simply give the tray a slight twist to
release the cubes.
Important
Do not consume ice-lollies which have just
come out of the
Their extremely low temperature can cause
frost burns. Do not remove items from the
-star compartment if your hands are
damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions
or "frost/freezer burns".

Normal operating sounds

You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds
when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or
tubing at the rear and the cooling evaporator.
When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being
pumped round, and you will hear a whirring sound or
pulsating noise from the compressor.
A thermostat controls the compressor, and you will
hear a faint 'click' when the thermostat cuts in and
out.

Fresh food refrigeration

To obtain the best performance, do not store warm
food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator; do
cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong
flavour.
Do not cover the shelves with any protective materi-
al, such as paper, cardboard or plastic, which may
obstruct the air circulation through them.
To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are
some more useful hints:
Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & wild fowl): wrap in
polythene bags and place on the first shelf under the
-star compartment.
Meat can only be stored safely in this way for
one or two days at the most.
Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly
cleaned and placed in the bottom salad crisper.
Butter & cheese: these should be placed in special
airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or
polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.
Milk bottles: these should have a cap and should be
stored in the bottle rack on the door.
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with run-
ners so that shelves can be positioned as desired.
