Use
ª
ZANUSSI domestic refrigerators, freezers and
fridge/freezers are designed to be used specifically
for the storage of edible foodstuffs only.
ª
Frozen food must NOT be re-frozen once it has
thawed out.
ª
Do not place carbonated or fizzy drinks in the
freezer as it creates pressure on the container,
which may cause it to explode, resulting in
damage to the appliance.
ª
The cooling plate or refrigerated freezer shelves in
this appliance contain channels through which the
refrigerant passes. If these are punctured this
would cause substantial damage to the appliance
and result in food loss. DO NOT USE SHARP
INSTRUMENTS to scrape off frost or ice. Under
NO circumstances should solid ice be forced off
the lining or shelves. Solid ice should be allowed
to thaw, when defrosting the appliance. See
Defrost instructions.
ª
Manufacturers’storage recommendations should
be strictly adhered to. Refer to relevant
instructions.
Installation
ª
There are working parts in this product which heat
up. Always ensure that there is adequate
ventilation as a failure to do this will result in
possible food loss. See installation instructions.
ª
Parts which heat up should not be exposed.
Wherever possible, the back of the appliance
should be close to a wall but leaving the required
distance for ventilation as stated in the installation
instructions.
ª
The appliance should be left for 2 hours after
installation before it is turned on in order to allow
the refrigerant to settle.
ª
This appliance is heavy. Care should be taken
when moving it.

INSTALLATION
Warning
IFYOU ARE DISCARDINGAN OLDAPPLIANCE
THAT HAS A LOCK OR CATCH ON THE DOOR,
YOU MUST ENSURE THAT IT IS MADE
UNUSABLE TO PREVENTYOUNG 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. 1a).
Rear spacers
In the bag with the documentation, there are two
spacers which must be fitted as shown in the
figure.
Slacken the screws and insert the spacer under the
screw head, then re-tighten the screws.

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.
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 andYellow - 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 andYellow (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
D207
GREEN & YELLOW 13 AMP. FUSE

13 AMP
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.

OPERATION
Refrigerator/Freezer - Starting-up
and temperature regulation
Insert the plug into the wall socket. Open the
refrigerator door and turn the thermostat knob, to be
found on the upper right side of the inner liner,
clockwise, from the «O» position, to start the
appliance.
Temperature adjustment is obtained by turning the
thermostat knob to the required setting. A medium
setting of between 2-4 is generally the most suitable.
However, the thermostat knob setting should be
adjusted depending on the temperature required
inside the appliance.
This, in turn, depends on a number of factors such as
the ambient temperature, the number of times the
door is opened, the quantity of food stored and the
location of the appliance.
Turn the knob clockwise, to higher numbers, to obtain
a lower temperature, or anticlockwise if a higher
temperature is required.
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.
