Using Your Machine - Zanussi DV 45 Instructions For The Use And Care

Using your machine
Before Using:
Remove all securing tapes. Wash the
inside of the appliance with lukewarm
water and a little bicarbonate of soda
(one teaspoonful to 1.2 litres/2 pints
water). Do not use soap or detergent as
the smell might linger. Dry thoroughly.
The freezer
The four star freezer is suitable for
storage of commercially frozen food
marked with the symbol &#®. The
temperature reached of -18C is suitable
for long term storage of frozen foods;
this means up to 3 months unless
otherwise stated by the manufacturer.
It is also suitable for the freezing down
of fresh foods.
Do not exceed the storage times shown
by the manufacturer on the commercially
frozen food packets.
Temperature control
The temperature within the freezer is
controlled by the thermostat situated at
the top of the freezer (see Fig. 1).
To operate the freezer proceed as
follows:
Plug the appliance into the wall socket
and turn the thermostat control «E»
beyond the «0» position. The pilot lamp
«C» will light up to show that the
appliance is connected to the mains.
When you first start the freezer, we
suggest that you turn the thermostat
control «E» to a medium setting.
The internal temperature of the freezer
is automatically adjusted by the
thermostat to ensure safe storage of
food. However, if the appliance is
working in unfavourable room conditions
such as poor ventilation, high
temperature and frequent door openings,
it may be necessary to select a more
suitable setting.
To obtain a lower temperature, turn the
thermostat control (E) to the higher
numbers; to obtain a higher temperature
turn the control to the lower numbers.
Warning light
If the temperature warning light (D)
lights up, it indicates that the
temperature within the freezer has
reached a level where the safe storage of
food is no longer ensured.
When the freezer is first switched on,
the warning light will stay on until the
temperature has dropped to a safe level
for the storage of frozen food.
