Frequently Asked Questions - ZTLP 130 S ZEROWATT

How do I reverse the door opening direction?

Follow the step-by-step instructions in the manual: remove the worktop, upper hinge, lift the door, remove lower hinge, transfer left front leg, reverse lower hinge pin, install lower hinge on left side, set door, secure upper hinge on left side, reinstall worktop, and move handle to the right side.

How do I defrost the refrigerator?

Defrost when the frost layer on the evaporator reaches 4mm thick. Turn off the power supply, allow frost to melt, and collect the water in the drain pan. Do not use sharp instruments or mechanical devices to speed up defrosting.

What should I do if the refrigerator is not cooling sufficiently?

Check if the food is packed too tightly blocking air flow, if hot food was added, if the door is not closed properly, if the door gaskets are damaged, if ventilation is inadequate (clearance less than 100mm on sides/back, 200mm on top), or if the temperature control dial is set incorrectly.

Why does condensation form on the outside of the refrigerator?

Condensation on the outside is normal during high humidity conditions (e.g., rainy season). It occurs when humid air contacts the cold surface, similar to a glass of cold water. Wipe dry with a dry cloth; it does not indicate a malfunction.

What noises are normal during operation?

Normal operating noises include humming (compressor), gurgling (refrigerant flow), rustling, whistling, and slight clicking or jumping sounds (temperature control or defrost timer). These are not malfunctions.

How should I clean the refrigerator?

Unplug the appliance before cleaning. Wipe interior and exterior with a wet cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a neutral detergent, then rinse with water and dry with a clean cloth. Do not use hot water, solvents, petrol, alcohol, kerosene, abrasive powders, or alkaline cleaners. Polish with glass wax if desired.

What does the temperature control indicator mean?

The indicator shows the coldest area's temperature. If the dial is green, temperature is correct. If it turns white, temperature is too high. Adjust the thermostat and wait 12 hours before rechecking. The dial may briefly turn white after door opening or loading food.

How do I replace the light bulb?

Disconnect the refrigerator from the power supply before replacing the bulb. The manual does not provide a specific procedure, but consult a qualified technician or authorized service for bulb replacement, as special tools may be required.

What type of refrigerant does the refrigerator use?

The refrigerator uses R600a (isobutane), a natural gas that is environmentally friendly but flammable. Ensure the refrigerant circuit pipes are not damaged during transport or installation.

Which area of the fridge is coldest?

The coldest area is indicated by a symbol (usually the bottom area above the crisper). This is where you should store meat, poultry, deli meats, ready-made dishes, fresh dairy, and other perishables that require temperatures ≤+4°C.

PRECAUTIONS ET SUGGESTIONS GENERALES

Dear client, apart from the instruction booklet, we recommend you read carefully the instructions contained in this information sheet. This will provide you with some important safety guidelines, as well as instructions on how to install and operate the temperature control dial. Should the temperature control dial be missing, please ask your distributor for it.

1. THE COLDEST AREA OF THE FRIDGE

This symbol indicates the coldest area of your fridge. This area is usually defined by the fruit and vegetable compartment(s) at the bottom and the symbol shown here at the top.

2. TEMPERATURE INDICATOR

In order to help you set your fridge properly, we have included a temperature control dial which will monitor the temperature in the area defined as the coldest.

CAUTION: The indicator was designed to function exclusively in your fridge. It is not possible to use it in another fridge or for any other purposes.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

By using the temperature control dial you will be able to check on a regular basis that the temperature of the coldest area is correct. If this is not the case, it will be necessary to change the position of the thermostat.

The room temperature and the frequency with which the fridge door is opened have an impact on the internal temperature.

In order to maintain the correct temperature inside the fridge, check that the control dial is green (see Figure 1).

If the control dial turns white (see Figure 2), it means that the temperature is too high. In that case, set the thermostat and wait 12 hours before re-checking.

After charging the product or opening the door, it is normal for the control dial to turn white after a few seconds.
