Putting It Into Use - Zanussi ZFT 710 W Notice D'utilisation

Putting it into use

Put the plug into the mains socket. Turn the thermo-
static 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 suffi-
cient 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 effect-
ed 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 heat-
waves - 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
40
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 quan-
tities 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 posi-
tion).
Move the fresh frozen food into the top drawer and
insert the drawer in the appliance in its working posi-
tion.
Storing
It is practical to replace frozen products into the stor-
ing 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.
