ℹ️ DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLIANCE
Diagram illustrating the Zanussi ZR 25/1 W refrigerator. It shows an interior view with numbered components: 1. Dairy compartment, 2. Can storage shelf with egg tray, 3. Bottle storage shelf, 4. Salad bin, 5. Glass shelf (for storing fresh meat), 6. Storage shelves (one with flap), 7. Thermostat control, 8. Freezer compartment, 9. Conveyor. An exterior view is also implied.
⚙️ OPERATION
Before use
Remove all securing tapes. Wash inside the appliance with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water). Do not use soap or detergent as the smell may linger. Dry thoroughly.
When altering the temperature setting, allow 24 hours for the temperature to stablise before making further changes.
Setting the temperature
The temperature inside the refrigerator and the ***-star compartment is regulated by a thermostat with 6 temperature positions and one «OFF» (O) position.
- Position 1 = minimum coldness
- Position 6 = maximum coldness
Turn the thermostat dial to the required position. An intermediate position is usually the most suitable, although the temperature will be affected by:
- Room temperature
- How often the door is opened
- How much food is stored
- Position of the appliance
In determining the correct temperature control setting all these factors have to be considered and some experimentation may be necessary.
Important
The temperature inside the refrigerator and ***-star compartment can be regulated by adjusting the conveyor located under the ***-star compartment.
To obtain a lower temperature in the ***-star compartment when frozen food is stored inside and when the ambient temperature is 25°C or lower slightly raise the conveyor (A) and push it all the way in. When frozen food is not stored in the ***-star compartment and when the ambient temperature is higher than 25°C return the conveyor to its initial position. This reduces the temperature in the refrigerator compartment.
Fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance, do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator; do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour. Do not cover the shelves with any protective material, such as paper, cardboard or plastic, which may obstruct the air circulation through them.
To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are some more useful hints:
- Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb, chicken or poultry): wrap in polythene bags and place on top of the salad bin. Meat can only be stored safely in this way for one or two days at the most.
- Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the bottom salad bin.
- Butter & cheese: these should be placed in special airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags, to exclude as much air as possible.
- Milk bottles: these should have a cap and should be stored in the bottle rack on the door.
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with runners so that shelves can be positioned as desired.
The ***-star compartment
This compartment is suitable for the storage of commercially frozen food and for ice cube making.
Frozen food storage
Storing ready-frozen foods is quite straight forward. The packs can be placed beside each other or on top of each other.
You are strongly advised to place ready-frozen food in the compartment as quickly as possible after purchase and we therefore recommend that you buy them last. Also ensure that the external packaging is intact.
Packaging which is swollen or has traces of refrozen water droplets on the pack could indicate that the product has not been kept at a suitable temperature and that it may have lost its original quality.
Partially thawed food must not be refrozen, it must be consumed within 24 hours.
Never exceed the storage times indicated.
Do not open the ***-star compartment door too often and do not leave open longer than necessary.
Important
In the event of a power cut do not open the door. The food in the ***-star compartment will not be affected if the power cut is short and if the compartment is full. Should the food begin to thaw, it must be consumed quickly and must not be re-frozen.
Thawing
Food can be thawed in a number of ways, depending on the type of food and the size of the packs. Meat, fish and fruit should be thawed in the refrigeration compartment and small pieces of meat can even be cooked while still frozen, but you must ensure that it is thoroughly cooked through. Vegetables should be directly immersed in boiling water; ready-cooked dishes can be placed directly in the oven in their aluminium wrapping.
A microwave oven is particularly suitable for thawing any type of frozen or deep-frozen food: follow the oven instructions, particularly regarding the placement of aluminium wrapping in the oven.
Making ice cubes
The appliance is provided with a plastic ice cube tray. Fill the tray 3/4 full to allow the ice to expand and place it in the ***-star compartment. To turn out the ice cubes simply give the tray a slight twist to release the cubes.
Never try to free an ice tray that is frozen to the ***-star compartment using a sharp or pointed object.
Important
Do not consume ice-lollies which have just come out of the ***-star compartment. Their extremely low temperature can cause frost burns. Do not remove items from the ***-star compartment if your hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or "frost/freezer burns".
Normal Operating Sounds
You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or tubing at the rear, to the cooling evaporator. When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped round, and you will hear a whirring sound or pulsating noise from the compressor. A thermostat controls the compressor, and you will hear a faint 'click' when the thermostat cuts in and out.
?️ HEALTH AND SAFETY GUIDELINES
Because of consumer demand, preservatives have been removed from many pre-prepared foods. This together with the changes in shopping habits to a once-a-week shop, mean that safe handling and storage of food is even more important than ever.
The following tips should help you to ensure that the food in your home is in as perfect condition as possible.
- Keep the time between buying chilled food and placing it in your fridge as short as possible. Tests showed that the temperature of 1 litre of orange juice rose to 22°C in an hour between the supermarket and home. It then took 11 hours to get down to 7°C in the refrigerator.
- Keep the refrigerator door closed as much as possible.
- Do not push food together too much, try to allow air to circulate around each item.
- Cool cooked food as quickly as possible but do NOT place in the refrigerator until cool. (Leave food in a cool place in order that it can then be placed in the refrigerator as soon as possible).
- Do NOT mix raw and cooked meat, they must be in separate containers. Take care not to let the meat juices drip onto other food. If the meat does drip, remove everything and clean thoroughly.
- Do not store food uncovered.
- Remove suspect food from your refrigerator and clean (Refer to “Maintenance and cleaning”).
- Never allow spillages to dry and harden.
- Store eggs in the egg rack provided in the refrigerator door. Discard any broken or chipped eggs.
- Regularly check the refrigerator door seal to ensure that it is clean and free from debris.
- Always wash your hands with soapy water and dry them with a clean towel before handling food.
- Keep work surfaces clean and avoid cross contamination by not using the same work surface or knife, without washing them thoroughly in between.
❄️ DEFROSTING
While in operation the ***-star compartment becomes progressively covered with frost. This frost, which acts as an insulator and thus prevents the cold from reaching the food should be removed whenever the thickness of the frost exceeds 1/4".
To carry out complete defrosting proceed as follows:
- Push the conveyor completely in.
- Place a tray on the upper shelf of the refrigerator under the drain hole of the conveyor.
- Remove any food from inside the ***-star compartment, wrap it in several sheets of newspaper and store in a cool dry place.
- Push the button at the centre of the thermostat knob. To accelerate defrosting, place a bowl of hot water inside the compartment (with a piece of cardboard underneath the bowl as protection).
- When defrosting is completed, dry thoroughly and remove the water collected in the tray. The refrigerator starts operating automatically following defrosting.
After letting the appliance run for at least half an hour, replace the previously removed food into the ***-star compartment.
When defrosting it is not necessary to remove the foods from the inner door and the refrigerator compartment.
Important
A temperature rise of the frozen food packs during defrosting may shorten their storage life. Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as you could damage it beyond repair.
? MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried out, DISCONNECT the appliance from the ELECTRICITY supply.
Internal cleaning
Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0.5 litre of water). Rinse and dry thoroughly.
NEVER USE DETERGENTS, ABRASIVE POWDERS, HIGHLY PERFUMED CLEANING PRODUCTS OR WAX POLISHES, TO CLEAN THE INTERIOR AS THESE WILL DAMAGE THE SURFACE AND LEAVE A STRONG SMELL.
External cleaning
Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. Do NOT use abrasive products.
Once or twice a year dust the condenser (black grill) and the compressor at the back of the appliance, with a brush or vacuum cleaner, see figure.
You MUST ensure that the appliance is switched OFF. An accumulation of dust will affect the performance of the appliance and cause excessive electricity consumption.
Diagram showing the rear of the appliance, indicating the location of the CONDENSER (black grill) and the COMPRESSOR.
Changing the light bulb
Should the interior light fail to work, switch off and disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply. Replace the bulb as follows:
- Remove conveyor
- Unscrew light bulb
- Replace with a 12 watt bulb available from your nearest Service Centre.
- Replace conveyor
Diagram illustrating the interior of the refrigerator, with an arrow pointing to the conveyor, indicating its removal for changing the light bulb.
When the appliance is not in use
When the appliance is not in use for long periods, disconnect from the electricity supply, empty all foods and clean the appliance, leaving the door ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.

? INSTALLATION
Positioning
For this appliance to work efficiently, it must not be located where the temperatures will fall below 16°C (61°F) or rise above 32°C (90°F), e.g. conservatories.
For correct operation this appliance must be located in a dry atmosphere, away from heat sources, e.g. cookers, radiators, boilers and direct sunlight.
You should also ensure that air can circulate freely around the back and the top of the cabinet. There should be 100mm (4") between the top of the cabinet and any overhanging kitchen furniture. Alternatively allow 50mm (2") between the top of the cabinet and any overhanging kitchen furniture and a gap of 25mm (1") on either side of the appliance.
Diagram showing recommended ventilation clearances for the appliance. It indicates a gap of 50-100 mm (A) or 50 mm (A) and 25 mm (B) on the sides and top, and that the back should be close to the wall but not touching.
Do not obstruct the space underneath. The back of the cabinet may be placed close to the wall but must not touch it. DO NOT install in places with restricted ventilation.
Adjust the level of the appliance by screwing out the adjustable foot, or feet, at the bottom of the cabinet using your fingers.
Diagram showing the adjustable foot at the bottom of the refrigerator, used for leveling the appliance.
Door reversal
Before carrying out the operations described below, pull out the mains plug from the wall socket.
To carry out this reversal go through the following steps:
- Gently lay the appliance on its back with the top held away from the floor by 5-8 cm (2-3 inches) of packing.
- Remove the bottom door hinge (5).
- Remove the door (4) by opening it and pulling it gently downwards to remove it from the top hinge pin (2).
- Unscrew the top hinge pin (2) from the top hinge (1) and replace it in the opposite hole on the left hand side.
- Unscrew the foot at the base (6) of the appliance and refit it on the opposite side.
- Refit the door and the bottom hinge (5) to the left hand side.
When positioning the bottom hinge blade on the reverse side, the securing screws will require a degree of exersion when fitting. It is therefore advisable to lubricate the screw tips before starting this operation.
Important
After completion of the door reversal operation, verify that the door gasket is sealing onto the cabinet. If the ambient temperature is cold (i.e. in Winter), the gasket may not fit perfectly to the cabinet. In that case, wait for the natural fitting of the gasket or accelerate this process by heating up the part involved with a normal hairdryer on a low setting.
Diagram illustrating the components of the door hinge system, numbered 1 through 6, for reference during door reversal.
⚡ ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED. The manufacturer declines any liability should this safety measure not be observed.
If the plug that is fitted to your appliance is not suitable for your socket outlet, it must be cut off and the appropriate plug fitted.
Remove the fuse from the cut off plug. The cut off plug should then be disposed of to prevent the hazard of shocks in case it should be plugged into a 13amp socket in another part of your home.
Important
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
- Green and Yellow - Earth
- Blue - Neutral
