Frequently Asked Questions - ZEUC1825 Zanussi-Electrolux

How do I adjust the temperature on my Zanussi-Electrolux ZEUC1825 freezer?
Use a coin to turn the thermostat control knob. Turn towards Max for lower temperature, towards Min for higher. A medium setting is recommended for initial use.
What does the red alarm light mean on the freezer?
The red alarm light indicates that the internal temperature is too high for safe food storage. It will stay on until the temperature drops to a safe level, such as after first switching on or after a door left open.
How do I freeze fresh food with the fast freeze function?
Turn the fast freeze knob to 'S' 24 hours before freezing (or 2-3 hours if already running). The amber light will illuminate. Place fresh food in the coldest compartments (marked 10 kg). After 24 hours, return the knob to 'N'.
Can I reverse the door on my ZEUC1825?
Yes. Disconnect power, lay the freezer on its back, remove feet and bottom hinge, slide out the door, relocate the hinge pin, refit door and hinge on the opposite side, and reattach feet. Ensure the door gasket seals properly after reversal.
How often should I defrost the freezer and how?
Defrost when frost reaches 4 mm thickness. For partial defrost, use the provided scraper without turning off. For complete defrost (1-2 times a year), turn the thermostat to OFF, remove food, leave door open, and place a container under the drain channel. Clean and dry before restarting.
What should I do during a power failure?
Keep the door closed. If the power is off for less than 24 hours and the freezer is full, food should stay frozen. If food begins to thaw, cook it immediately and do not refreeze. Check specific guidelines for different food types in the manual.
How do I clean the freezer interior and exterior?
For interior, use warm water with bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0.5 L water). Never use detergents or abrasive powders. For exterior, use warm water with a little washing-up liquid. Disconnect power before cleaning.
What are the normal operating sounds of the freezer?
You may hear a gurgling from refrigerant flow, a whirring from the compressor, and a faint click from the thermostat. These are normal. If new or loud noises appear, check for leveling or obstructions.
Where can I get spare parts or service for my ZEUC1825?
Contact your local Service Force Centre at 08705 929929 (UK) or visit www.serviceforce.co.uk. For Ireland, call +353 (0)1 4090751. Always use genuine spare parts.
What is the maximum amount of food I can freeze in 24 hours?
The freezer can freeze up to 20 kg of fresh food in any 24-hour period. Arrange food in direct contact with the cooling surfaces for best results.

- poor ventilation,

- high temperature,

- frequent door openings,

it may be necessary to select a more suitable setting.

To obtain a lower temperature, turn the thermostat control towards max; to obtain a higher temperature turn the control towards min.

Freezing fresh food

In any 24 hour period you can freeze up to 20 kg of fresh food.
When you first start the freezer or after a period of non-use, turn the fast freeze knob to "S" 24 hours before you want to freeze your food (the yellow light (D) illuminates).
If the freezer is already in operation, the fast-freeze knob should be activated about 2-3 hours before freezing fresh food.
This time can be shortened, depending on the quantity of food to be frozen. After the time has elapsed place the food to be frozen in the "10 kg" compartments of the freezer (see the diagram) as these are the coldest parts.

INSTALLATION

Zanussi-Electrolux ZEUC1825 - INSTALLATION - 1

Important

IF YOU ARE DISCARDING AN OLD APPLIANCE THAT HAS A LOCK OR CATCH ON THE DOOR, YOU MUST ENSURE THAT IT IS MADE UNUSABLE TO PREVENT YOUNG CHILDREN BEING TRAPPED INSIDE.

Positioning

This appliance should only be installed at a location where the ambient temperature corresponds to the climate classification indicated on the rating plate, which is located at the left on the inside of the appliance.

The following table shows which ambient temperature is correct for each climate classification:

SN +10°C to +32°C

N +16°C to +32°C

ST +18°C to +38°C

+18°C to +43°C

It should be located in a dry atmosphere, out of direct sunlight and away from extreme temperature e.g. not next to a boiler or radiator, or in a very cold room e.g. an outhouse, where the temperatures may fall below 10°C (50°F) . If these temperatures are exceeded i.e. colder or warmer, then the appliance may not operate correctly.

You should also ensure that air can circulate freely around the back and the top of the cabinet. There must also be at least 100 mm (4") distance between the top of the cabinet and any overhanging kitchen furniture (A). Ideally, the appliance should not be positioned beneath overhanging furniture (B).

There should also be a gap of 25 mm either side of the appliance. 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 or a tool (see figure).

Rear spacers

The plastic bag containing all relevant documentation also contains two spacers to be fitted into special holes in the back of the appliance. Fit the spacers into the holes, taking care to ensure that the arrow (A) is positioned as shown in Fig. Then turn them through 45° (arrow (A) vertical) until they lock into place.

Depending upon the position which you choose for your appliance, you may wish to reverse the way in which the door opens. To do this, refer to instructions under "Door reversal".

Important

It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from the mains power supply; the plug must therefore be easily accessible after installation.

In order to freeze the quantity indicated on the rating plate, arrange the food directly in contact with the cooling surfaces. If the food is frozen in the baskets, the maximum quantity that can be frozen is slightly less.

Once the food is completely frozen (which could take up to 24 hours) return the fast freeze switch to the «N» position; the yellow light (D) goes off.

Distribute the frozen food packages in the other compartments, so that the fast freeze compartments can be used for a further freezing operation.

- The food to be frozen must be fresh and of the best quality.

- Do not allow fresh food to touch food which is already frozen.

- During the freezing process, ensure that the freezer door remains closed.

Frozen food storage

When you first start the freezer or if the freezer has been out of use for some time, we advise you to run your appliance for at least two hours in the “fast freeze” mode before storing frozen food.

Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the manufacturer.

Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than is absolutely necessary.

Zanussi-Electrolux ZEUC1825 - Frozen food storage - 1

Important

Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks etc.), in the freezer compartment.

Ice lollies, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer, can possibly result in 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".

Zanussi-Electrolux ZEUC1825 - Important - 1

Important

In the event of a power cut do not open the door. The food in the freezer will not be affected if the power cut is short and if the freezer is full. Should the food begin to thaw, it must be consumed quickly and must not be re-frozen.

10 kg 10 kg

Thawing

Frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in the 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.

Meat, fish and fruit should be thawed in the refrigerator 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 or containers in the oven.

Defrosted cooked food must never be refrozen.

Making ice cubes

The appliance is provided with one or more plastic ice cube trays.

Fill the tray(s) 3/4 full to give the ice space to expand and place them in one of the freezer compartment.

To release the ice cubes simply give the tray a slight twist. Do not use sharp or metallic instruments to remove the trays from the freezer.

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 plate/evaporator or to the fixed freezer shelves.
  • 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.

i HINTS AND TIPS

Food Storage

To obtain the best performance from your freezer
- Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids.
- 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.
• The symbols on the drawers show different types of frozen goods. The numbers indicate storage times in months for the appropriate types of frozen goods.

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. cassercles 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.
