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.
