This document is a user manual for a Zanussi fridge-freezer, model ZBB28440SA, providing comprehensive instructions for its safe operation, daily use, maintenance, and installation.
The Zanussi ZBB28440SA is a fridge-freezer designed for household use, intended for keeping foodstuffs and beverages. It features a refrigerator compartment and a freezer compartment. The refrigerator compartment automatically defrosts during normal use, with defrost water draining into a special container at the back of the appliance where it evaporates. The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen and deep-frozen food for extended periods. It is equipped with at least one cold accumulator to increase storage time during power cuts or breakdowns. The appliance uses isobutane (R600a) as a refrigerant, a natural gas with high environmental compatibility.
The appliance's temperature is automatically regulated via a temperature regulator. Users can adjust the coldness by turning the regulator towards lower settings for minimum coldness or higher settings for maximum coldness. A medium setting is generally recommended, but the optimal setting depends on room temperature, how often the door is opened, the quantity of food stored, and the appliance's location. If the room temperature is below +16°C, an "Ambient Switch" function can be activated by pressing a designated switch, which also turns on the built-in light.
For freezing fresh food, it's not necessary to change the medium setting, but for faster freezing, the temperature regulator can be set to higher settings. However, in this condition, the refrigerator compartment temperature might drop below 0°C, requiring a reset to a warmer setting. When storing large quantities of frozen food, drawers and baskets can be removed to optimize performance. The appliance includes trays for ice-cube production. Movable shelves in the refrigerator allow for flexible positioning to accommodate various food package sizes, and door shelves can also be adjusted.
Regular maintenance is crucial for the appliance's longevity and efficient operation. Before any maintenance, the appliance must be switched off and disconnected from the mains supply.
Periodic cleaning involves cleaning the inside and accessories with lukewarm water and a neutral soap. Door seals should be regularly checked and wiped clean to ensure they are free from debris. After cleaning, the interior should be thoroughly rinsed and dried. It's important not to use metal objects, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products, or wax polishes on the interior, as these can damage surfaces and leave strong odors. The condenser (black grill) and compressor at the back of the appliance should be cleaned with a brush to improve performance and save electricity. The outer casing should be cleaned with warm water and a little washing-up liquid.
The refrigerator compartment features an automatic defrosting system, but the defrost water drain hole in the middle of the channel needs periodic cleaning to prevent water overflow. A special cleaner is provided for this purpose.
The freezer compartment requires manual defrosting when the frost layer reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm. Approximately 12 hours before defrosting, the temperature regulator should be set to higher settings to build up a chill reserve. To defrost, the appliance must be switched off, stored food removed and placed in a cool place, and the door left open. A plastic scraper can be used to remove frost, and a pot of warm water can be placed in the freezer compartment to speed up the process. Sharp metal tools should never be used to remove frost. After defrosting, the interior should be thoroughly dried before switching the appliance back on and reloading food.
The user manual also provides instructions for replacing the interior lamp, which involves removing the lamp cover, replacing the bulb with a new one of the same power designed for household appliances, and then reassembling. Instructions for adjusting or replacing door gaskets are also included, with a recommendation to contact the Service Center for defective gaskets.
