What To Do If - Zanussi ZBB29445SA User Manual

Defrosting the freezer
A certain amount of frost will always form on
the freezer shelves and around the top com-
partment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches
a thickness of about 3-5 mm.
Important! About 12 hours prior to defrosting,
set the Temperature regulator toward higher
settings , in order to build up sufficient chill
reserve for the interruption in operation.
To remove the frost, follow the instructions be-
low:
1. Switch off the appliance.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several
layers of newspaper and put it in a cool
place.
Caution! Do not touch frozen goods with
wet hands. Hands can freeze to the
goods.
3. Leave the
door open and
insert the
plastic scraper
in the appro-
priate seating
at the bottom
centre, placing
a basin under-
neath to collect the defrost water

Warning! Before troubleshooting,

person must do the troubleshooting that is not
in this manual.

In order to speed up the defrosting proc-
ess, place a pot of warm water in the
freezer compartment. In addition, remove
pieces of ice that break away before defrosting
is complete.
4. When defrosting is completed, dry the in-
terior thoroughly and keep the scraper for
future use.
5. Switch on the appliance.
6. After two or three hours, reload the previ-
ously removed food into the compartment.
Warning! 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.
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long peri-
ods, take the following precautions:
• disconnect the appliance from electrici-
ty supply
• remove all food
• defrost (if foreseen) and clean the appliance
and all accessories
• leave the door/doors ajar to prevent unpleas-
ant smells.
If the cabinet will be kept on, ask somebody to
check it once in a while to prevent the food in-
side from spoiling in case of a power failure.
Important! There are some sounds during
normal use (compressor, refrigerant
circulation).
