which the door opens. To do this, refer to
instructions on “Door reversal directions”
paragraph.
Positioning
For this appliance to work efficiently, it should be
located away from heat sources, e.g. cookers,
radiators, boilers, direct sunlight etc. This also
includes locations or rooms where the ambient
temperature reaches above 32 degrees C or drops
below 10 degrees (e.g. conservatories).
You should also ensure that air can circulate freely
around the back and the top of the cabinet. There
must also be at least 100 mm (4”) distance between
the top of the cabinet and any overhanging kitchen
furniture.
There should also be a gap of 25 mm either side of
the appliance. Do not obstruct the space
underneath. The back of the cabinet may be placed
close to the wall but must not touch it. DO NOT
install in places with restricted ventilation.
To increase ventilation it is possible to fit a
ventilation grill in your worktop. This grill is
available as a spare part from your local Zanussi
Service Centre.
Adjust the level of the appliance by screwing out
the adjustable foot, or feet, at the bottom of the
cabinet using your fingers or a spanner (see Fig. 1).

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
The manufacturer declines any liability should this safety
measure not be observed.
If the plug that is fitted to your appliance is not
suitable for your socket outlet, it must be cut off
and the appropriate plug fitted.
Remove the fuse from the cut off plug.
The cut off plug should then be disposed of to
prevent the hazard of shocks in case it should be
plugged into a 13amp socket in another part of
your home.
Important
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code:
Green and Yellow - Earth
Blue - Neutral
Brown - Live
If you fit your own plug, the colours of the wires in
the mains lead of your appliance may not
correspond with the markings identifying the
terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
Fig. 2
GREEN & YELLOW
13 AMP FUSE
Connect the Green and Yellow (earth) wire to the
terminal in the plug which is marked with the
letter «<E» or the earth symbol ©, or coloured
green and yellow.
Connect the blue (neutral) wire to the terminal in
the plug which is marked with the letter «<N» or
coloured black.
Connect the brown (live) wire to the terminal in
the plug which is marked with the letter «L» or
coloured red.
The plug moulded onto the lead incorporates a
fuse. For replacement, use a 18amp BSI362 fuse.
Only ASTA or BSI approved fuses should be used.
The plug must not be used if the fuse cover/carrier
is lost. The cover/carrier is indicated by the
coloured insert at the base of the plug.
A replacement cover/carrier must be obtained from
your local Zanussi Service Force Centre whose

Door reversal directions (Fig. 3)
Before carrying out the operations described below,
pull out the mains plug from the wall socket.
To carry out this reversal go through the following
steps:
Gently lay the fridge on its back with the top held
away from the floor by 5-8 cm (2-3 inches) of
packing;
Remove bottom hinge (6);
Remove door (5);
Remove the top (1) by unscrewing the rear screws,
remove top hinge (2) and then screw it down on
the opposite side;
Refit pin (8) on the opposite side and then refit the
top;
Unscrew part (7) and refit it on the opposite side;
Refit the door and the bottom hinge (into the holes
already provided);
Remove handle (4) and refit it on the opposite side
(the fixing holes are already provided).
When the bottom hinge is screwed in, a certain amount of
force is exerted on the screws.
It is therefore advisable to lubricate the screw tips before
starting this operation.

OPERATION
Setting the temperature
The temperature inside the refrigerator is
regulated by a thermostat with 6 temperature
positions and one «OFF» (©) position.
Position 1 = minimum coldness
Position 6 = maximum coldness
Turn the thermostat dial to the required position;
the intermediate position is usually the most suitable (3-4).
The thermostat setting can vary as the
temperature inside the refrigeration compartment
depends on the following factors:
— room temperature
— how often the door is opened
— how much food is stored
— position of the appliance
Important
If the fridge is not defrosting correctly, it is
possible that because a very low temperature has
been selected, the motor is working continuously,
which prevents the defrost cycle from operating.
To ensure correct defrosting, a lower number
should be selected on the thermostat and you
should notice that the motor cuts out from time to
time, which is correct.
If you wish to return to a lower temperature, turn
the thermostat to a higher number, however you
should turn the setting lower occasionally to allow
automatic defrosting.

HEALTH AND SAFETY GUIDELINES
Because of consumer demand, preservatives have been
removed from many pre-prepared food. This together with
the changes in shopping habits to a once-a-week shop, mean
that safe handling and storage of food is even more
important than ever.
The following tips should help you to ensure that the food
in your home is in as perfect condition as possible.
= Keep the time between buying chilled food and
placing it in your fridge as short as possible.
Tests showed that the temperature of 1 litre of
orange juice rose to 22°C in an hour between the
supermarket and home. It then took 11 hours to
get down to 7°C in the refrigerator.
m™ Keep the refrigerator door closed as much as
possible. Remember that warm air is flowing in
as you are deciding what to have for tea!
® Do not push food together too much, try to allow
air to circulate around each item.
® Cool cooked food as quickly as possible but do
NOT place in the refrigerator until cool. (Leave
food in a place as cool as possible in order that
it can then be placed in the refrigerator as soon
as possible).
® Do NOT mix raw and cooked meat, they must be
in separate containers. Take care not to let the
meat juices drip onto other food. If the meat
does drip, remove everything and clean
thoroughly.
# Do not store food uncovered.
10
m Remove suspect food from your refrigerator and
clean the interior with a solution of bicarbonate
of soda in warm water (5ml to 0.5 litre of water).
Never allow spillages to dry and harden.
Store eggs in the egg rack provided in the
refrigerator door. Discard any broken or chipped
eggs.
= Regularly check the refrigerator door seal to
ensure that it is clean and free from bits and
pieces.
m= Always wash your hands with soapy water and
dry them with a clean towel before handling
food.
= Keep work surfaces clean and avoid cross
contamination by not using the same work
surface or knife, without washing them
thoroughly in between.
@ Use kitchen roll wherever possible for cleaning
up food. If you use a dishcloth, be sure to boil it
frequently.
