Installation
Warning
IF YOU ARE DISCARDING AND OLD
APPLIANCE THAT HAS A LOCK OR
CATCH ON THE DOOR, PLEASE
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 page 6.
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 16 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 50mm (2”) distance between the
top of the cabinet and any overhanging
kitchen furniture. Ideally, the appliance
should not be positioned beneath
overhanging furniture. There should also
be a gap of 25mm 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. 1).
Electricity Supply
The appliance is for operation on a
220/240 V. 50 Hz supply, so be sure that
your electricity supply voltage is within
the range marked on the nameplate
located inside the cabinet.
Earthing
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. The cut off plug should be disposed
of to prevent the hazard of electric shocks
in case it should be plugged into a 13 Amp
socket in another part of your home.

Electrical connection
IMPORTANT: The wires in this 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, this is what you have to do:
Connect the green and yellow (earth) wire
to the terminal in the plug which is
marked with the letter ”E” or the earth
symbol -A~ , or coloured green, or
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 which is marked with the letter
”L” or coloured red.
The plug moulded on to the cord
incorporates a fuse. For replacement use
a 13 Amp BS 1362 fuse. Only ASTA
approved fuses should be used.
The fuse cover/carrier must be replaced in
the event of changing fuse.
The right fuse cover/carrier colour is the
one shown by the coloured insert at the
base of the plug or is the colour of the
inscription at the base of the plug.
The plug must not be used if the fuse
cover/carrier is lost.
A replacement cover/carrier must be
obtained from Zanussi Service Agents
whose addresses are listed on the
attached ”Zanussi Service and Spares
Nationwide”.
This appliance complies with E.E.C.

Operation
Refrigerator - Starting-up
-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 beyond the position (stop)
to start the appliance.
Temperature adjustment is obtained by
turning the thermostat knob to the
required setting. A medium setting is
generally the most suitable.
However, the thermostat knob setting
should be adjusted depending on the inner
temperature of the refrigerator, which 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 locatiomof
the appliance.
Turn the knob clockwise to higher
numbers to obtain a lower temperature or
anticlockwise if a less cold temperature is
required.
Fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance, do not
store warm food or evaporating liquids in
the refrigerator, do cover or wrap the
food, particularly if it has a strong flavour;
do not cover the shelves with any
protective material, such as paper,
cardboard or plastic, which may obstruct
the air circulation through them.
To help you use your refrigerator correctly,
here are some useful hints:
Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & wild fowl):
wrap in polythene bags and place on top
of the salad crisper.
Meat can only be stored safely in this way
for one or two days at the most.
Cooked food, cold cuts, jelly, etc.: these
should be well covered and can be stored
on anyone of the shelves.

Fruit & vegetables: these should be
thoroughly cleaned and placed in the
bottom drawer.
Butter & cheese: these should be placed
in special airtight containers or wrapped
in aluminium foil or polythene bags to
exclude as much air as possible.
Milk bottles: these should have a cap and
should be stored in the bottle rack on the
door.
Drink-chiller
(For models incorporating a drinks
dispenser)
The container for cooling drinks, which is
located on the inner door can easily be
removed from its runners for filling.
To pour out a drink, press the glass
upwards, against the tap arms.
Upon removing the glass, the tap turns
itself off.
To clean the container, we recommend
that you rinse it several times with hot
water after letting the water cool down
inside the container itself.
It also helps, for a thorough cleaning of
the container, to add a spoonful of baking
soda to the rinsing water. Turn the
dispenser tap on and off a number of
times to allow sugar deposits from soft
drinks or sweet wines to dissolve.
Empty the container and rinse with clean
water.
Defrosting
Frost is automatically eliminated from the
evaporator of the refrigerator
compartment every time the motor
compressor stops.
The defrost water drains out through a
trough into a special container on the
back of the appliance where it evaporates.
Maintenance
Prior to undertaking any maintenance
operation, be sure to unplug the appliance
from the wall socket as a safety
precaution.
Clean out the interior periodically with
lukewarm water and some bicarbonate of
soda, the cabinet exterior with a Silicone
wax spray, the condenser and the motor
compressor with a brush or a vacuum
cleaner. The defrost water drain hole
should be cleaned at regular intervals.
To do this, use either a straw, pipe
cleaner or thin flexible wire (e.g. net
curtain wire without the end hooks)
and insert it into the drain hole to a
maximum of 6”.
During periods when the appliance is
not in use, take the following
precautions:
unplug the refrigerator from the power
supply;
remove all foodstuffs from the
refrigerator;
clean the interior and all accessories;
leave the door ajar to facilitate the
circulation of air in the interior of the
cabinet so as to prevent unpleasant
odours from lingering in the appliance.
