Switch And Indicator Unit; Handling The Appliance; Putting It Into Use; Controlling The Temperature - Zanussi ZFT 410W Mode D'emploi

Switch and indicator unit

For the usage of the switching and indicator unit see
chapters "Putting it into use", "Controlling the
temperature" and "Freezing".
Components of the appliance are as follows:
A) Green indicator lamp
This lamp lights when the appliance is under power,
i.e. the mains plug is in the mains socket.
B) Red indicator lamp
It lights up depending on the temperature inside the
appliance.
It lights for a short time when starting the appliance,
placing fresh food into it and when the temperature
control knob has been turned in direction to lower
temperatures.
It lights permanently when the temperature inside
the appliance is too high (overloaded with warm
food, door stayed open or the door seal does not
close properly) or possibly the appliance was
broken down.
C) Yellow indicator lamp and freezer switch
In the switched-on state of the switch (pops up and
lights by pressing) the compressor operates
continuously thus providing for the coldest interior
temperature - achievable by the freezer - needed for

freezing.

D) Temperature control knob
This knob is provided for setting and changing the
temperature inside the appliance.

Handling the appliance

Putting it into use

Put the plug into the mains socket. Turn the thermostatic
control knob according to the figure. This time the red
lamp starts giving light, the compressor starts and
cooling begins shortly.
When the red light goes out the temperature is sufficient
and the appliance is suitable for storing frozen and deep-
frozen foods.

Controlling the temperature

The thermostatic controller interrupts the operation of the
appliance automatically for more or less time depending
on the setting then restarts it assuring the required
temperature.
Setting the thermostat knob can be done practically with
a coin. Turning the control knob clockwise cooling
becomes more and more intensive.
In the appliance -18 °C or lower temperature can be
reached if the thermostat knob is set according to the
figure.
The thermostat can be switched off („0" position), which
means breaking the circuit of the compressor i.e.
stopping cooling.
The temperature coming about in the freezer is effected
by not only the position of the thermostatic control and
the ambient temperature, but frequency of door openings
and the quantity of food put into it, etc.
In maximum position of the thermostat - in case of
increased demand e.g. during heatwaves - the
compressor may operate continually. This does not
cause damages to the appliance.
Freezing
Freezing different products should always be done in the
freezing compartment after proper preparation.
Move frozen food from the top drawer into the other two
drawers. For maximum freezing performance remove the
top drawer and then place the foods to be frozen directly
on the evaporator. In case of freezing smaller food
volumes you do not need to remove the drawer.
Switch on the freezer switch (pops up and lights by
pressing) 4 hours before freezing food of small quantities
and about 24 hours before freezing products of larger
quantities. This time the compressor operates continuously
to reach the temperature necessary for freezing.
Place in the foods to be frozen and let the appliance
operate for about 24 hours as written above.
Then push the fast freezer switch again (the yellow light
will go out and the switch turns to its original position).
Move the fresh frozen food into the top drawer and insert
the drawer in the appliance in its working position.

Storing

It is practical to replace frozen products into the storing
compartments after freezing has finished so that to make
room in the freezing compartment for another freezing.
In large quantities of food are to be stored, remove the
baskets except the lowermost one from appliance and
place food on the shelves.
Intermediate freezing does not deteriorate foods already
stored.
