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 ís at the front.
When clearing 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 stili 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.
