Quick setup

Follow these easy steps to get your Zanussi MF11720RCL Refrigerator up and running in no time.

1

Unpacking the Refrigerator

Carefully remove the refrigerator from its packaging. Ensure that all protective materials, such as tape and foam, are removed from both the interior and exterior of the unit. Check for any visible signs of damage or missing parts.

2

Positioning the Refrigerator

Place the refrigerator in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and heat sources such as stoves or radiators. Ensure that there is enough space around the unit for air circulation—at least 5 cm on the sides and back.

3

Leveling the Refrigerator

Adjust the leveling legs at the bottom of the refrigerator to ensure it is stable and level. This can be done by turning the legs clockwise or counterclockwise until the desired level is achieved.

Chill Out with Zanussi!

The Zanussi MF10020RCL, MF11720RCL, and MF11728RCL freezers are like the cool cats of the refrigeration world. They keep your perishable goodies chilled and fresh, from meats to cheeses, and even your favorite veggies!

Eco-Friendly Coolness

These models are not just about keeping things frosty; they're also kind to Mother Earth! Made with top-quality materials, they aim to eliminate ecological damage. So, you can chill without the guilt!

Refrigeration Capacity

The Zanussi MF10020RCL, MF11720RCL, and MF11728RCL models are designed as freezer cold rooms with a usable volume ranging from 10 to 11.7 cubic meters. They feature panel insulation 100 mm in thickness, ensuring efficient storage for a wide range of perishable food items.

Safety and Convenience Features

The refrigerators include a newly designed handle with a lock and an internal safety release to prevent entrapment if the door is accidentally locked from the outside. Additionally, a microswitch option is available to automatically switch on the internal light and turn off the fans.

Construction and Insulation

The cold rooms are constructed with prefitted and insulated pipes for connection between the evaporator and condensing unit, insulated with injected polyurethane that is CFC and HCFC free. Wall and ceiling panels are cladded with anti-scratch prepainted galvanized steel, ensuring durability and minimal temperature loss.

Design and Accessibility

The cold rooms feature galvanized steel floors with a non-abrasive, non-slip, ribbed plastic coat, and rounded internal and external corners. The right-hinged door is standard, but a left-hinged door is available on request, providing flexibility in installation.

Control and Display

These models come equipped with a control panel that includes a luminous ON/OFF switch, internal lighting switch, cold room functioning indicator, defrosting cycle indicator, and a digital display for temperature and thermostat control. This makes it easy to monitor and adjust the settings as needed.

Refrigeration System

These models feature a powerful tropicalized refrigeration system that is designed to operate efficiently even in extreme temperatures up to 43ºC. They can be connected to either a built-in refrigerating unit or a remote refrigeration unit, making them adaptable to various installation environments.

Energy Efficiency

Defrosting is managed through heated gas, which reduces the total power installed, shortens defrosting time, and limits the warming of the cold room. This contributes to energy savings and efficient operation.

Maintenance

Check out our tips to prevent many common issues and extend the life of your Zanussi Refrigerator.

Regular Cleaning

Ensure that the refrigerator is regularly cleaned both inside and out. Use a soft cloth and mild detergent to wipe down surfaces, and make sure to dry them thoroughly to prevent moisture buildup.

Check Temperature Settings

Regularly monitor and adjust the temperature settings as needed. Ensure the digital thermostat is set to the recommended temperature to maintain energy efficiency and food preservation.

Inspect Door Seals

Inspect the door seals for any signs of wear or damage. Make sure they are intact and form a tight seal when the door is closed to prevent air leaks and maintain optimal cooling efficiency.

Ensure Proper Ventilation

Ensure that the refrigerator is placed in a well-ventilated area and that there is sufficient space around it for air circulation. Avoid placing it near heat sources or in direct sunlight.

Regularly Defrost

Perform regular defrosting cycles to maintain the efficiency of the refrigerator. Use the defrosting cycle indicator to know when it's necessary to start the process.
