Cool check temperature guide
This model has a cool check temperature guide
fitted to a shelf in the fridge compartment. The
guide is designed to show whether the fridge is
operating at safe temperatures for all food types.
The guide consists of a temperature sensitive strip
sealed in the shelf trim.
When the fridge is operating at the safe
temperature to store food, the guide will appear
black. If the temperature in the fridges rises the
guide will show the words TOO WARM. The
temperature in the fridge may rise if the door has
just been opened, the fridge has just been loaded
with shopping or if the room temperature is higher
than normal. See “Everyday use of the temperature
guide” for further information.
The shelf with Cool Check temperature guide must
be placed in the fridge according to the instructions
located on the fridge wall and always ensure the
guide is at the front.
When cleaning the shelf take care not to immerse
the guide in water and wipe any spills from the
holder quickly.
Important
The guide is only suitable for use in the model
supplied and accurate temperature guidance cannot
be guaranteed if transferred to other appliances.
The guide will not work in the freezer
compartment.
Starting the appliance
Check that the shelf with the Cool Check is
positioned correctly (as described previously). Close
the door and leave the appliance overnight to allow
the temperature to reach a safe level.
If after waiting overnight the temperature guide
still shows TOO WARM, adjust the thermostat to a
higher number, close the door and allow to stand
overnight.
A higher thermostat setting may be required to
keep the fridge temperature at the safe storage
level during warmer weather.
For more information on starting you appliance, see
“Operation”.
Everyday use of the cool check temperature guide
During everyday use a fridge door is opened many
times and as a result temperature fluctuation may
occur. A Zanussi fridge is designed to cope with any
changes in temperature but under certain
conditions the temperature guide in the appliance
may show TOO WARM.
What to do if the Cool Check temperature guide shows
TOO WARM
The Cool Check guide may show TOO WARM if:
1. The fridge is switched off.
ACTION:
Start the appliance in accordance with
the instructions.
2. The fridge door has recently been opened or is left
open for more than approximately one minute.
ACTION:
As mentioned before the temperature
guide is sensitive to changes in fridge
temperature and opening the fridge door for
prolonged periods may cause the guide to show
TOO WARM. This should not cause concern as
such fluctuations in temperature do not generally
affect the safe storage of food.
Leave the fridge door closed for as long as
possible so the temperature returns to a safe
level, the guide should then appear black.
3. The fridge has been loaded with fresh shopping.
ACTION:
When fresh shopping or additional
quantities of food are placed in the fridge, the
temperature may rise and cause the guide to
show TOO WARM.
Do not adjust the thermostat as the time taken
for the guide to appear black will depend on the
quantity and the temperature of food introduced.
4. The fridge temperature is above the recommended
maximum for the safe storage of all food types.
ACTION:
To lower the fridge temperature, adjust
the thermostat, then leave the appliance
overnight before checking the guide again.
5. If the guide is still showing TOO WARM
, adjust the
thermostat again, to a colder setting, and leave
the appliance overnight before checking the
guide again.
