INSTALLATION
Warning
IF YOU ARE DISCARDING AN OLD APPLIANCE
THAT HAS A LOCK OR CATCH ON THE DOOR,
YOU MUST ENSURE THAT IT IS MADE
UNUSABLE TO PREVENT YOUNG CHILDREN
BEING TRAPPED INSIDE. _
Depending upon the position which you choose for
your appliance, you may wish to reverse the way in
which the door opens. To do this, refer to instructions
on “Door reversal directions” paragraph.
Positioning
This appliance is designed to operate in ambient
temperatures between 10°C (50°F) and 32°C (90°F).
It should be located in a dry atmosphere, out of direct
sunlight and away from extreme temperature e.g. not
next to a cooker or other sources of direct heat, or in a
very cold room e.g. an outhouse, where the
temperatures may fall below 10°C (50°F). If these
temperatures are exceeded i.e. colder or warmer, then
the appliance may not operate correctly.
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.
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. la).
Rear spacers
The plastic bag containing all relevant documentation
also contains two spacers to be fitted into special
holes in the back of the appliance.
Fit the spacers into the holes, taking care to ensure
that the arrow (A) is positioned as shown in Fig. 2.
Then turn them through 45° (arrow (A) vertical) until
they lock into place.

Before using
Remove all securing tapes. Wash inside the appliance
with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to
0.5 litre of water). Do not use soap or detergent as the
smell may linger. Dry thoroughly.
A The electrical connections
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. 3
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 13amp 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
address is listed in the Customer Care Booklet which
accompanies your instruction manual.

Door reversal directions
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 (3), pin (1) and screw (2);
Slide the door out from pin (5), unscrew the pin and
refit it on the opposite side;
Unscrew the foot on the left hand side and refit it on
the opposite side;
Remove the two screws which mask the holes for
fixing the hinge from the left hand side;
Refit the door and the lower hinge (turning it 180°),
the pin (1) and the screw (2) as shown in Fig. 4a;
Remove the handle (6) and refit it on the opposite
side.
Attention
After completion of the door reversibility operation,
verify that the door gasket is adherent to the cabinet.
If the ambient temperature is cold (i.e. in Winter), the
gasket may not fit perfectly to the cabinet. In that
case, wait for the natural fitting of the gasket or
accelerate this process by heating up the part involved
with a normal hairdrier.

OPERATION (g|)
Setting the temperature
The temperature inside the refrigerator is regulated by
a thermostat with 6 temperature positions and one
«OFF» (O) 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.
