This document serves as an instruction manual for a Zanussi ZFT 710FW freezer, providing comprehensive guidance for both users and installers to ensure safe and effective operation.
The Zanussi ZFT 710FW is a domestic freezer designed for the freezing and storage of edible foodstuffs. It operates using "No-Frost" technology, which facilitates quicker freezing and prevents ice build-up, eliminating the need for manual defrosting. This technology helps preserve the original form, nutritional value, and taste of foods even after thawing. The appliance maintains an internal temperature suitable for long-term food conservation, with an alarm system to alert users if the temperature rises above a safe threshold. The freezer is equipped with a compressor that runs continuously during quick freeze operations to rapidly lower the temperature.
The freezer features a user-friendly control panel with several indicators and switches. An on/off indicator (A) illuminates green when the appliance is powered on. The thermostat and on/off switch (B) allows users to adjust the internal temperature across five settings, ranging from -16°C (least cold) to -24°C (coldest), with a switch-off position. A quick freeze indicator (C) lights up yellow when the quick freeze function is active. An acoustic signal stop and quick freeze switch (D) allows users to activate or deactivate the quick freeze function and silence the temperature alarm. An alarm indicator (E) blinks red and an intermittent sound is emitted if the internal temperature exceeds -12°C, indicating a potential problem with food conservation.
For optimal storage, frozen food should be placed in the two lower baskets, while the top compartment is designated for storage or fast freezing of fresh food. When freezing fresh food, it is recommended to activate the quick freeze function 4 to 24 hours in advance, depending on the volume of food. The quick freeze function can be manually switched off or will automatically deactivate after 48 hours. Users are advised to consider ambient room temperature, door opening frequency, food volume, and appliance location when setting the thermostat. It is important to allow 24 hours for the freezer temperature to stabilize after any adjustment.
The manual provides guidelines for freezing and storing various types of food, emphasizing the importance of packing foodstuffs into airtight packages to prevent unnecessary frosting and moisture loss. It also offers advice on thawing different food items, noting that defrosted cooked food should never be refrozen. The appliance includes an ice cube tray for making ice, with instructions on how to fill and remove cubes safely.
Regular maintenance and cleaning are crucial for the appliance's longevity and efficient operation. Before any maintenance, the freezer must be disconnected from the electrical supply. Internal cleaning should be performed with warm water and bicarbonate of soda, followed by thorough rinsing and drying. Users are warned against using detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products, wax polishes, or cleaning products containing bleach or alcohol, as these can damage surfaces and leave strong odors.
External cleaning involves washing the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. The condenser (black grille) and compressor at the back of the appliance should be dusted once or twice a year using a brush or vacuum cleaner to prevent dust accumulation, which can affect performance and increase electricity consumption.
For long-term absence, users should switch off the thermostat, disconnect the appliance from the mains, remove all food, perform defrosting and cleaning, and leave the doors ajar to prevent unpleasant odors. The "No-Frost" technology ensures automatic defrosting, eliminating the need for manual intervention. During defrosting, an electric heater assists in removing ice, and the defrost water evaporates from a tray on the compressor. The ventilator is temporarily switched off during this process.
The manual also includes a troubleshooting guide for common issues such as no power, high or low internal temperature, excessive frost, and noisy operation, providing possible causes and solutions. It advises users to contact the local Service Force Centre if problems persist, emphasizing that in-guarantee customers may be charged if the fault is not a mechanical or electrical breakdown. In the event of a power failure, users are instructed to keep the door closed and check the condition of stored food, with specific advice for different food types.
