Structural Integrity and Assembly

The assembly system utilizes twin hook fasteners made from composite materials for perfect alignment and grip, allowing for easy disassembly and reassembly. Panels are cladded with anti-scratch galvanized steel and insulated with CFC and HCFC-free polyurethane.

Defrosting Technology

Defrosting is achieved through heated gas, reducing total power consumption and shortening defrost cycles, minimizing temperature fluctuations within the cold room.

Maintenance

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

Regular Cleaning

Clean the refrigerator regularly to prevent the build-up of dirt and dust, which can affect its performance. Use a mild detergent and warm water to clean the interior and exterior surfaces. Avoid using abrasive cleaners which can damage the finish.

Check Seals and Gaskets

Inspect door seals and gaskets for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure they are clean and free from debris to maintain an airtight seal, which is essential for efficient cooling.

Temperature Settings

Ensure the temperature settings are appropriate for the contents being stored. Regularly check the digital display to confirm the temperature is within the recommended range.

Defrosting System

Utilize the defrosting system to prevent ice build-up. The defrosting cycle should be activated as needed to maintain optimal performance and energy efficiency.

Ventilation

Ensure there is adequate space around the refrigerator for ventilation. Do not obstruct the air circulation around the unit as this can lead to overheating and reduce efficiency.
