Maintenance

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

Regular Cleaning

Ensure the appliance is cleaned properly. Use warm soapy water for the outer cabinet and avoid using detergents, abrasive powders, or highly perfumed cleaning products inside, as they can damage the surface and leave a strong smell. Clean the drain hole of the water trough regularly to ensure defrost water flows freely.

Ventilation

Ensure adequate ventilation around the appliance to prevent excessive electricity consumption and avoid heat exposure. The back of the appliance should be close to a wall but leave the required distance for ventilation as stated in the installation instructions.

Door Sealing

Check that the door is closed properly to maintain efficiency and prevent food spoilage. Avoid overfilling to ensure air circulation.

Dust Accumulation

Dust the condenser and the compressor at the back of the appliance with a brush or vacuum cleaner once or twice a year to maintain performance and efficiency.

Defrosting

For complete defrosting, turn the thermostat dial to the 'OFF' position or disconnect the appliance from the mains. Remove any food, wrap it in newspaper, and store it in a cool place. Use the ice scraper provided to remove frost when it reaches a thickness of 4mm.
