Zanussi Zrg 31 Sw Instruction Manual

							The temperatures in the refrigerator compartment and freezer compartment cannot be independently regulated.At a low ambient temperature of around 16℃, setting'1' should be selected. At ambient temperatures of around 25℃ , select setting'2' .If you require a lower temperature, select setting '3'or'4'. On this setting, you can be sure the fresh food will be reliably frozen and that a storage temperature of –12℃ will be maintained in the freezer compartment.If you want the freeze fresh food rapidly, select setting '7',ensuring that the temperature in the refrigerator compartment does not drop below 0℃. You should also promptly reset the temperature regulator to setting '3' or '4'.Important!High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer days) and a cold setting on the temperature regulator (position'6' to '7') can cause the compressor to run continuously.Reason: when the ambient temperature is high, the compressor mustrun continuously to maintain the low temperature in the appliance.The fridge will not be able to defrost since automatic defrosting of the fridge is only possible when the compressor is not running (see also 'Defrosting' section). The result is the build up of a thick layer of frost on the fridge rear wall.If this happens, turn the temperature regulator back to a warmer setting (position '3'to '4'). At this setting the compressor will be switched on and off as usual and automatic defrosting recommenced.Interior AccessoriesStorage shelves/wire traysVarious glass or plastic storage shelves and wire trays are included with your appliance- different models have different combinations.You should always slide one of the full size glass storage shelves into the lowest set of guides, above the fruit and vegetable containers, andkeep it in this position.The height of the storage shelves can be adjusted:To do this pull the storage shelf forward until it can be swivelled upwards or downwards and removed.11 
						

							Please do the same in reverse to insert the shelf at a different height.Correct storage1.Butter and cheese2.preserves3.Drinks4.Cheese storage, fruit, and vegetables5.Meat, salami, cold cuts, dairy produce6.Ready meals, pastries, preserves 7.Frozen food storage/freezing foodTip:Food in the fridge should always be covered or packaged, to prevent drying and tainting of other food.The following are suited for packaging:-Polyethylene airtight bags and wraps;-Plastic containers with lids;-Special plastic covers with elastic;-aluminium foil.Freezing and storing frozen foodThe freezer compartment is for freezing and storing food.Important!The temperature in the freezer compartment must be –12℃ or colder before freezing food or storing food already frozen.Do not freeze too large a quantity at any one time (max. 1 kg per 24 hrs). The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible.Allow warm food to cool down before freezing. The warmth will cause increased ice formation and increase the power consumption.Please note the maximum storage times specified by the manufacturer.Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into meals) may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time.Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at low temperatures. There is a risk of an explosion! Do not store any containers with flammable materials such as spray cans, fire extinguisher refill cartridges etc in the freezer compartment.12 
						

							Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer. They can burst when the contents freeze, high carbonate content drinks can even explode! Never store lemonade, juices, beer, wine, sparkling wine etc.in the freezer compartment.All foods must be packed air tight prior to freezing, so that they do not dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination of other frozen goods occurs.Caution!Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could stick to the food and cause skin abrasions.Lay the packaged food on the floor of the freezer compartment. Unfrozen food must not touch items already frozen, otherwise the frozen food could begin to defrost.Tips:The following are suited for the packaging of frozen goods: freezer bags and polyethylene wraps; special cans for frozen goods; extra-thick aluminium foil.The followings are suitable for sealing bags and wrap:plastic clips, rubber bands or tape.Smooth the air out of the bag before sealing; air makes it easier for the frozen food to dry out.Make flat packages, because these freeze more quickly.Do not fill cans for frozen goods to the brim with liquid or paste-like goods, because liquids expand during freezing.Preparation of Ice CubesFill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water, place it in the freezer compartment and leave to freeze.To loosen the frozen cubes, either bend the ice cube tray or hold it underrunning water for a few seconds.Important!Never try to free an ice tray that is frozen to the freezer compartment using pointed or sharp edged objects, since you may damage the refrigerating circuit. Use the plastic scraper.13 
						

							DefrostingThe fridge defrosts automaticallyThe rear wall of the fridge covers with frost when the compressor is running, and defrosts when the compressor is off. The water from the thawing frost evaporates by itself.Defrosting the freezer compartmentDuring use and when the freezer compartment door is opened, moisture is deposited in the freezer compartment as frost. Remove this frost from time to time with the soft plastic scraper. Under no circumstances, use hard or pointed objects to remove frost.The freezer compartment should always be defrosted when the layer of frost has reached a thickness of approx. 4 millimetres; however at least once a year. A good time for defrosting is when the appliance is empty or contains only little food.Warning!Do not use electrical heating appliances or any other mechanical or artificial devices to speed up the defrosting process, with the exception of those recommended in these operating instructions.Do not use defrosting sprays, they can be hazardous to your health and/or contain substances that damage plastics.Caution!Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could stick to the food and cause skin abrasions.Remove frozen food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and store it, covered, in a cool place.Switch off the appliance and unplug it, or pull the fuse or switch off the circuit breaker.Tip:You can speed up the defrosting water in the freezer compartment and closing the doors. Remove pieces of ice that have fallen before they completely defrost.After defrosting, thoroughly clean the freezer compartment (see “Cleaning and Care” section).14
