Storage Of Frozen Food; Defrosting - Zanussi ZFC202-1 Instruction Booklet

Storage of frozen food

The compartment is also suitable for the
storage of frozen foods; in this case follow these
simple rules:
Turn the thermostat knob to the coldest setting (if the
room temperature is lower than 20 C it is necessary
to arrange the baffleplate so as to obtain a higher
temperature in the refrigerating compartment).
Remember that, in this condition, the refrigerating
compartment temperature might drop below 0 C. If
this occurs reset the thermostat knob to a warmer
setting.
Make sure that the frozen foods have been correctly
stored by the retailer.
Make sure that the interval between the time when
you buy the frozen foods and when you put them in
the freezer is short.
Do not exceed the dates of expiry marked on the
packages by the manufacturer.
After a period when the appliance is not used, make it
run for at least two hours with the thermostat knob
turned to the coldest setting before placing the frozen
foods in it.
If in the evaporator are not stored frozen foods, to
obtain a lower power consumption and a better
refrigeration of the foods it is advisable to arrange the
baffleplate so as to obtain a lower temperature in the
refrigerating compartment.

Defrosting

Fig. 10
During operation, the evaporator of the refrigerator
compartment gets covered with frost which must be
removed because, being a thermal insulator, prevents
the even distribution of cold.
If it is not removed, the temperature inside the fridge
increases with a higher power consumption.
To carry out defrosting proceed as follows:
Press the button in the middle of the thermostat knob
(Fig. 10).
