Frequently Asked Questions - ZUT6245S Zanussi-Electrolux

How do I set the temperature on my Zanussi-Electrolux ZUT6245S freezer?

The thermostat control knob is located on the control panel. Turn it clockwise to make the temperature colder. The setting 0 turns the freezer off. For normal use, a medium setting is recommended.

How do I use the fast freeze function?

Press the fast freeze switch (located on the control panel, pops up and lights yellow) to activate. This makes the compressor run continuously for rapid freezing. For small quantities (up to 3-4 kg), activate it 4 hours before adding food; for larger quantities, activate it about 24 hours before. After 24 hours, press the switch again to deactivate.

How do I defrost the freezer?

When frost exceeds 6 mm, remove food and disconnect the appliance. Pull out the drain spout and place a tray under it. Leave the door open, optionally place a bowl of hot water inside to speed defrosting. Never use sharp tools. After defrosting, dry interior, replace spout, and run with fast freeze on for 4 hours before restocking.

What should I do during a power failure?

Keep the door closed. If the power cut is short and the freezer is full, food should stay frozen. If food begins to thaw, check its condition: ice cream should be discarded, fruits/vegetables if soft should be cooked, bread/cakes can be refrozen, and large meat pieces with ice crystals can be refrozen. Cooked dishes and chicken should be refrigerated and used quickly.

Why is the red indicator light on?

The red light indicates the interior temperature is too high. It is normal for the light to come on after adding fresh food or opening the door for a while. If it stays on continuously, check if the door is properly closed, the thermostat setting is correct, or the ambient temperature is within the correct range (16-32°C). If the problem persists, contact service.

How do I clean the freezer?

Disconnect the appliance from power first. For internal cleaning, use lukewarm water with bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0.5 L water). For external cleaning, use warm soapy water. Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed products, or wax polishes. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

My freezer is noisy. What can I do?

Check if the appliance is level. All four feet should be on the floor. If not, adjust the front feet accordingly. Also ensure there is adequate ventilation and the appliance is not touching walls or cabinets. Normal operating sounds include compressor and air circulation noises.

How do I reverse the door opening direction?

Disconnect the appliance. Tilt it backwards. Remove the adjustable feet and lower hinge plate, then remove the door. Swap the hinge pin to the opposite side of the door, refit the hinge plates on the new side, and reinstall the door. To reverse the handle, remove screws and blanking plugs, relocate the handle to the opposite side, and fit the supplied plugs. Detailed steps are in the manual.

What is the correct ambient temperature for this freezer?

The freezer is rated for climate classes SN, N, ST, which correspond to ambient temperatures: SN (+10 to +32°C), N (+16 to +32°C), ST (+18 to +38°C). For best performance, keep the appliance in a well-ventilated room away from heat sources.

Can I store carbonated drinks in the freezer?

No. Do not store carbonated or fizzy drinks in the freezer as they can burst when frozen. Also, ice lollies should be consumed carefully to avoid frost burns. Containers with flammable gases or liquids are also prohibited.

Indicator Lights

The indicator lights are situated in the control panel.

A.) Green Indicator Light

When the appliance is switched on at the mains the green indicator light will glow and continue to glow until the appliance is switched off at the mains.

B.) Red Indicator Light

A few hours after starting up the red indicator light will go out to show that the correct temperature has been reached for the setting chosen and will stay out to indicate that everything is in order.

It will come on if the freezer temperature rises unduly for instance, after opening the freezer door or placing food inside the cabinet, but the light should go out again when the temperature returns to the correct storage level.

C.) Yellow Indicator Light and Freezer Switch

In the switched-on state of the switch (pops up and lights by pressing) the compressor operates continuously thus providing for the coldest interior temperature - achievable by the freezer - needed for freezing.

D.) Thermostat Control

This knob is provided for setting and changing the temperature inside the appliance.

Basket Storage

Frozen food should be stored in the two lower baskets and the top compartment used for fast freezing.

Freezer Tray

The freezer tray is particularly suitable for open freezing, for example strawberries, raspberries etc.

Using the Appliance

Before Use

Remove all packaging and 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.

Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products, wax polishes or products containing alcohol.

To Start the Appliance

1. Allow the appliance to stand for 2 hrs after installation.
2. Plug in the appliance and switch on at the mains supply.

Thermostat Control

The temperature within the freezer is controlled by the thermostat situated on the control panel.

0 = Off

Turning the thermostat clockwise makes the temperature progressively colder.

Freezing Fresh Food

It is important that fresh food placed in the freezer is frozen quickly and that the food already in the freezer is heated as little as possible.

If more than 3-4 kg of food is to be frozen:

1. Switch on the freezer switch (pops up and lights by pressing) 4 hours before freezing food of small quantities and about 24 hours before freezing products of larger quantities. This time the compressor operates continuously to reach the temperature necessary for freezing.
2. Place in the foods to be frozen and let the appliance operate for about 24 hours as written above.
3. Then push the fast freezer switch again (the yellow light will go out and the switch turns to its original position).

1. The freezing tray is suitable for freezing smaller fruits (raspberry, strawberry, currant, etc.). Fruits should be put on the tray in thin layers without packaging. After freezing they can be packed and sorted out then placed into the storing compartments.

If the 'fast freeze' switch is accidentally left on, the freezer will not be damaged, but energy will be wasted.

Frozen Food Storage

When first starting the freezer or if the freezer has been out of use for some time, we advise you to run your appliance for at least 4 hours with the 'fast freeze' switch on before storing frozen food.

Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the manufacturer.

Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than is necessary.

Important

Do not put carbonated liquids in the freezer.

Ice lollies, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer can cause a low temperature skin burn.

Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or frost/freezer burns.

In the event of a power cut the food in the freezer will not be affected if the power cut is short and the freezer is full. Do not open the lid. Should the food begin to thaw it must be consumed quickly and must not be re-frozen. (See Hints and Tips)

Thawing

Deep frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in a fridge or at room temperature, depending on the time available. Small food items may even be cooked from frozen, in this case cooking will take longer.

Any frozen food which is allowed to thaw accidentally should either be eaten as soon as possible, or thrown away. Alternatively, if the food is uncooked and has not been completely defrosted it can be cooked and then refrozen.

Defrosted cooked food must never be refrozen.

To Make Ice Cubes

1. Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water, place in the freezing compartment and leave to freeze.
2. To remove the cubes twist the tray or hold it under running water for a few seconds.

Never try to free an ice tray that is frozen to the freezer compartment by using pointed or sharp edged objects.

Hints & Tips

Food Storage

To obtain the best performance from your freezer:

• Do not store warm food or evaporating liquid.
• Avoid buying frozen food if you cannot store it straight away. The use of an insulated container is advisable. When you arrive home, place the frozen food in the freezer immediately.
• Do not push food together too much, try to allow air to circulate around each item.
• Do not store food uncovered.
• Ensure that food placed in the freezer is dated and labelled and used in date order to ensure that food is consumed at its best.
• Lean food keeps better and longer than fatty food, salt reduces the storage time.
• Wrap the food in polythene or aluminium freezing bags or foil so that they adhere to the food and provide an airtight seal.
• 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 by the manufacturer.

Energy Saving Advice

• Do not install the appliance close to sources of heat, such as a boiler or radiator.
• Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilated room and make sure that the air openings of the appliance are not obstructed.
• Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by packing all foodstuffs into airtight packages before placing them in the freezer.
• Food which is to be frozen (when cool) should be placed in the fridge before being transferred to the freezer.
• Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or opening the door too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
• Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the door from closing properly.

In the Event of a Power Failure

If there is a power failure during the storage of frozen foods, keep the door closed. If the temperature within your freezer should rise, do not refreeze the food without checking its condition. The following guidelines should assist you:

Ice Cream: Once thawed should be discarded.

Fruits & Vegetables: If soft should be cooked and used up.

Breads & Cakes: Can be refrozen without danger.

Shellfish: Should be refrigerated and used up quickly.

Cooked Dishes: i.e. casseroles should be refrigerated and used up.

Large Pieces of Meat: Can be refrozen providing there are still ice crystals remaining within them.

Small Joints: Should be cooked and can then be refrozen as cooked dishes.

Chicken: Should also be cooked and refrozen as a fresh dish.

Maintenance & Cleaning

Before any maintenance or cleaning is carried out you must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity supply.

Internal Cleaning

Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and bicarbonate of soda (5 ml 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 odour.

External Cleaning

Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water.

Once or twice a year dust the condenser (black grille) and the compressor at the back of the appliance with a brush or vacuum cleaner, as an accumulation of dust will affect the performance of the appliance and cause excessive electricity consumption.

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 open to prevent unpleasant smells.

Defrosting

The freezer compartment will become progressively covered with frost. This should be removed with the special plastic scraper provided whenever the thickness of frost exceeds 6 mm (1/4").

During this operation it is not necessary to switch off the power supply or to remove the foodstuffs.

However, when the ice becomes very thick on the inner liner, complete defrosting should be carried out and it is advisable to perform this operation when the appliance is empty.

To carry out complete defrosting:

1. Disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply. If the plug is inaccessible turn the thermostat control knob to „0“.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap in several layers of newspaper and store in a cool place.
3. Leave the door open.
4. Carefully draw the plastic drain spout out of the lower part of the appliance according to the direction of the arrow and place a tray of a suitable size in the position shown.

1. During defrosting, push the defrost water towards the edge of the cooling plates using a dry cloth or a sponge. It will be collected at the bottom of the appliance, from where it can be diverted into the tray and then disposed of.
2. To accelerate the defrosting process place a bowl of hot (not boiling) water inside the freezer and close the door.
3. When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thoroughly, replace the drain spout and close the door.
4. Turn the thermostat control knob back to a medium setting and leave to run for at least 4 hours with the 'fast freeze' switch on.
5. Replace the previously removed food.

Important

A temperature rise of the frozen food packs during defrosting may shorten their safe storage life.

Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as this could damage the appliance beyond repair.
