Overview

This document serves as a user manual for a Zanussi refrigerator, model ZBB28651SA, providing comprehensive instructions for its safe operation, installation, daily use, and maintenance. It emphasizes safety precautions, particularly concerning children and vulnerable individuals, and general electrical and refrigerant safety.

Function Description

The Zanussi ZBB28651SA is a refrigerator designed for household use, intended for storing foodstuffs and beverages in normal domestic and similar environments. It features a refrigerator compartment and a freezer compartment. The refrigerator compartment utilizes an automatic defrosting system, where frost is eliminated during normal operation when the motor compressor stops. The defrost water drains into a special container at the back of the appliance, where it evaporates. The freezer compartment, on the other hand, is a "no frost" type, meaning it prevents frost buildup on internal walls and food through continuous circulation of cold air driven by an automatically controlled fan.

The appliance is equipped with a temperature regulation system, allowing users to select a desired temperature for the refrigerator compartment. It also includes a "Quick Freeze" function, which can be activated to rapidly freeze items in the freezer compartment. This function automatically deactivates after 52 hours.

Usage Features

The refrigerator's control panel includes a temperature indicator LED, a Quick Freeze indicator, a Quick Freeze button, and a temperature regulator ON/OFF button.

Switching On/Off: To switch on the appliance, simply insert the plug into the wall socket. If all LEDs are off, touch the temperature regulator button. To switch off, keep touching the temperature regulator button for 3 seconds until all indicators light off.

Temperature Regulation: Temperature regulation is progressive, ranging from 2°C (coldest setting) to 8°C (warmest setting). To set the temperature, touch the temperature regulator button until the LED corresponding to the desired temperature lights up. The selected temperature will blink for a while and then be fixed. A medium setting is generally recommended, but the exact setting should consider room temperature, door opening frequency, food quantity, and appliance location.

Quick Freeze Function: This function can be activated by pressing the Quick Freeze button, which illuminates the corresponding LED. It can be deactivated by pressing the button again. The function automatically stops after 52 hours.

Interior Features: The refrigerator compartment includes movable shelves, allowing users to adjust their height to accommodate various food package sizes. The door shelves can also be repositioned to different heights by pulling them in the direction of the arrows until they come free, then reinserting them as required. The freezer compartment contains at least one cold accumulator, which helps extend storage time in the event of a power cut or breakdown.

Food Storage Recommendations:

  • General: Avoid storing warm food or evaporating liquids. Cover or wrap food, especially those with strong flavors. Position food to allow free air circulation.
  • Meat: Wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer. Store for only one or two days at most.
  • Cooked Foods/Cold Dishes: Cover and place on any shelf.
  • Fruits and Vegetables: Thoroughly clean and place in the special drawer(s). Keep citruses in separate containers to prevent discoloration of plastic parts.
  • Butter and Cheese: Place in special airtight containers or wrapped in aluminum foil or polythene bags to exclude air.
  • Bottles: Store with caps in the bottle rack on the door.
  • Prohibited Items: Do not store bananas, potatoes, onions, and garlic in the refrigerator unless packed. Do not store flammable gas and liquid, as they may explode.

Maintenance Features

Periodic Cleaning: Regular cleaning of the appliance is essential.

  • Interior and Accessories: Clean with lukewarm water and a neutral soap. Avoid detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products, or wax polishes, as these can damage surfaces and leave strong odors.
  • Door Seals: Regularly check and wipe clean to ensure they are free from debris.
  • Drain Hole: Periodically clean the defrost water drain hole in the refrigerator compartment channel to prevent water overflow. A special cleaner is provided for this purpose.
  • Condenser and Compressor: Clean the black grill (condenser) and the compressor at the back of the appliance with a brush to improve performance and save electricity. Take care not to damage the cooling system.
  • Outer Casing: Clean with warm water and a little washing-up liquid. Avoid proprietary kitchen surface cleaners containing chemicals that can attack/damage plastics. After cleaning, reconnect the appliance to the mains supply.

Defrosting:

  • Refrigerator Compartment: Automatic defrosting occurs during normal use.
  • Freezer Compartment: This is a "no frost" type, so manual defrosting is not required.

Periods of Non-Operation: If the appliance will not be used for long periods:

  1. Disconnect it from the electricity supply.
  2. Remove all food.
  3. Clean the appliance and all accessories.
  4. Leave the door(s) ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.

Troubleshooting: The manual provides a troubleshooting guide for common issues such as the appliance not operating, the lamp not working, the compressor running continually, and water flow problems. It advises disconnecting the mains plug before troubleshooting and emphasizes that only a qualified electrician or competent person should perform repairs not covered in the manual.

Lamp Replacement: The appliance is equipped with a long-life LED interior light. Only authorized service personnel should replace the lighting device.

Door Reversibility: Instructions are provided for reversing the door's opening direction from right to left, which should be done before installation. This involves loosening and tightening various pins and hinges.

Electrical Connection: The manual provides detailed instructions for electrical connection, including wiring codes (Green and Yellow for Earth, Brown for Live, Blue for Neutral) and plug fuse requirements (13 amp ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse). It stresses that any electrical work must be carried out by a qualified electrician and that the appliance must be earthed.

Installation: The manual provides step-by-step instructions for installing the appliance into a niche, including ensuring proper ventilation and securing the appliance with screws. It also details how to connect the appliance door to the kitchen furniture door using brackets and hinges.

Noise: The manual acknowledges that certain sounds (compressor, refrigerant circulation) are normal during the appliance's operation.
