Zanussi ZFC31500WA User Manual

The maximum amount of food that can be frozen

in 24 hours is specified on the rating plate. 

The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during this

period do not add other food to be frozen.

When first starting-up or after a period out of

use, before putting the products in the

compartment let the appliance run at least 24

hours Temperature Regulator to the Full Loaded

position.

In the event of accidental defrosting,

for example due to a power failure, if

the power has been off for longer

than the value shown in the

technical characteristics chart under

"rising time", the defrosted food

must be consumed quickly or

cooked immediately and then re-

frozen (after cooling).

Never pull the handle with immense

force.

As the lid is equipped with a tightly closing seal,

it is not easy to reopen it shortly after closing

(due to the vacuum formed inside). Wait for few

minutes before reopening the appliance.

The vacuum valve will help you to open the lid.

Hang the baskets on the upper edge of the

freezer (A) or place them inside the freezer (B).

Turn and fix the handles for these two positions

as shown in the picture.

The following pictures show how many baskets

can be placed inside the various freezer models.
The baskets will slide into each other.

You can purchase additional baskets from your

local Service Centre.

Refer to Safety chapters.

To help you make the most of the freezing

process, here are some hints:
• The maximum quantity of food which can be

frozen in 24 hours is shown on the rating

plate.

• The freezing process takes 24 hours. No

further food to be frozen should be added

during this period.

• Freeze only top quality, fresh and thoroughly

cleaned foodstuffs.

• Prepare food in small portions to enable it to

be rapidly and completely frozen and to

make it possible subsequently to thaw only

the quantity required.

• Wrap up the food in aluminium foil or

polythene and make sure that the packages

are airtight.

• Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch

food which is already frozen, thus avoiding a

rise in temperature of the latter.

• Lean foods store better and longer than fatty

ones; salt reduces the storage life of food.

• Water ices, if consumed immediately after

removal from the freezer compartment, can

possibly cause the skin to be freeze burnt.
