Safety Information

Before installing and using the Zanussi ZBB2294R/ZBB2294L Refrigerator, it's crucial to read the user manual thoroughly for safety and operational guidelines. Ensure all users are familiar with its safety features and operation to avoid accidents.

Environmental Concerns

The appliance does not contain gases harmful to the ozone layer. The insulation foam contains flammable gases, so it must be disposed of according to local regulations to avoid environmental harm.

Operation and Temperature Regulation

To switch on, insert the plug and set the temperature regulator to a medium setting. Turn the regulator toward lower settings for colder temperatures and higher settings for warmer temperatures.

Care and Cleaning

Before maintenance, unplug the refrigerator. Clean the interior and accessories regularly with lukewarm water and neutral soap. Authorized technicians should handle maintenance involving the cooling unit.

Door Reversibility

The refrigerator door opens to the right by default. To change to the left, remove the upper pin and spacer, and reposition the door before installation.

Technical Data

The refrigerator fits in a recess with dimensions: Height - 1780 mm, Width - 560 mm, Depth - 550 mm. It operates at a voltage of 230-240 V and a frequency of 50 Hz. The rising time is 20 hours.

Installation Instructions

Ensure ventilation openings are not obstructed. The refrigerator should be installed in a location corresponding to its climate class: SN (10°C to 32°C), N (16°C to 32°C), ST (16°C to 38°C), T (16°C to 43°C).

Hints for Energy Saving

Avoid opening the door frequently. Set the temperature regulator to a warmer setting if the appliance is fully loaded and the ambient temperature is high to prevent continuous compressor operation and increase energy efficiency.

Storage of Frozen Food

When starting up or after a period of non-use, let the appliance run for at least 2 hours at higher settings before storing food. Avoid placing food directly against the rear wall to ensure proper air circulation.

Ice-Cube Production

The appliance features trays for ice-cube production. Fill trays with water and place them in the freezer compartment. Avoid using metal instruments to remove the trays.

Maintenance

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

Energy Saving Tips

To ensure energy efficiency, avoid opening the refrigerator door frequently or leaving it open longer than necessary. If the ambient temperature is high and the Temperature Regulator is set to a low temperature, the compressor may run continuously, causing frost or ice to form. Adjust the Temperature Regulator towards warmer settings to allow automatic defrosting and save electricity.

Refrigeration Best Practices

Store food properly by not placing warm food or evaporating liquids inside the refrigerator. Cover or wrap food, especially if it has a strong flavor, and ensure that air circulates freely around it to maintain freshness.

Care and Cleaning

Before performing any maintenance, switch off the appliance and disconnect the mains plug. Clean the interior and accessories regularly with lukewarm water and neutral soap. Ensure that door seals are clean and free from debris to maintain efficiency.

Defrosting

Frost is automatically eliminated from the refrigerator's evaporator during normal use. Periodically clean the defrost water drain hole in the middle of the refrigerator compartment to prevent water overflow and dripping.

Storage Guidelines

For optimal performance, ensure that frozen food is stored properly. Avoid placing carbonated or fizzy drinks in the freezer compartment as it might cause containers to explode. Ice lollies can cause frost burns if consumed directly from the appliance.
