Maintenance
Check out our tips to prevent many common issues and extend the life of your Zanussi Refrigerator.
Regular Cleaning
Ensure to clean the condenser and the compressor at the back of the appliance once or twice a year using a brush or vacuum cleaner. This prevents dust accumulation that can affect performance and increase electricity consumption.
Internal Cleaning
Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0.5 litre of water). Avoid using soap or detergent as the smell may linger. Make sure to dry thoroughly after cleaning.
Temperature Control
Set the thermostat to an intermediate position (usually 3-4) to maintain optimal temperature. Adjust based on room temperature, the frequency of door opening, and the volume of food stored.
Defrosting
Perform complete defrosting once or twice a year. Turn the thermostat to the 'OFF' position, remove food, leave the door open, and collect water using a container placed beneath the ice scraper. Clean and dry thoroughly before returning the food.
Door Maintenance
Ensure doors close properly by checking that nothing obstructs them and that the gasket is intact and clean. Avoid leaving doors open for long periods to minimize unnecessary compressor operation.
