ENERGY SAVING TIPS

WARNING

Connecting your refrigerator to systems that save energy is dangerous and may cause damage on the product.

• Do not leave the doors of your refrigerator open for a long time.
• Do not put hot food or liquids in your refrigerator.
• Do not overload the refrigerator. Cooling capacity will decrease when the air circulation in the refrigerator is hindered.
• Do not place the refrigerator in places subject to direct sunlight. Install the product at least 11 3/4″ (299 mm) away from heat sources such as microwaves, ovens, heater units, and gas ranges, and at least 2″ (51 mm) away from electrical ovens.
• Store food and liquids in your refrigerator inside closed containers.
• You can remove the drawer shelf of the freezer compartment to fill it with the maximum amount of food. The energy consumption value of the freezer is determined with the shelves and drawers removed and the freezer filled with maximum amount of food. There is no harm in using a shelf to store appropriately sized food items.
• Thawing frozen foods in the refrigerator compartment both saves energy and preserves the quality of the foods.

ATTENTION

• The temperature of the room where your refrigerator is located should at least be 61 °F (16 °C). Operating your refrigerator under cooler conditions is not recommended in terms of energy efficiency?
• The inside of your refrigerator must be cleaned thoroughly.
• If two units are to be installed side by side, there should be at least 1 1/2″ (38 mm) of distance between them.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT

• Make sure that the food does not touch the temperature sensor in the refrigerator compartment. To allow the refrigerator to maintain its ideal storage temperature, the sensor must not be hindered by food.
• Do not place hot foods or liquids inside the refrigerator.

INITIAL USE

• Before using the product, make sure that all preparations have been made in accordance with the instructions provided in the built-in refrigerator installation manual.
• Clean the interior of the refrigerator as recommended in the “Maintenance and Cleaning” section of this manual. Before plugging in the refrigerator for the first time, make sure that the interior is dry.
• Plug the refrigerator into a grounded socket. The interior becomes illuminated when the door of the refrigerator is opened.
• Plug the unit in for a minimum of 6 hours without placing any food in it and do not open the door unless it is necessary.

ATTENTION

1. You will hear a noise when the compressor starts up. The liquids and gases sealed within the cooling system may also create noise even if the compressor is not running; this is quite normal.
2. Front edges of the refrigerator may feel warm. This is normal. These areas are designed to be warm to avoid condensation.

• Take necessary measures against risk of freezing in the unit’s water hoses.
• The water temperature operating range must be 33 °F (0.6 °C) minimum and 100 °F (38 °C) maximum.

FOOD STORAGE

DUAL COOLING SYSTEM

Your refrigerator is equipped with two separate cooling systems to cool the refrigerator compartment and freezer compartment. Thus, the air and odor in the refrigerator compartment and the freezer compartment do not get mixed. Thanks to these two separate cooling systems, cooling speeds are much higher than that of other refrigerators. Also, additional power saving is provided since the defrosting is performed separately.

FREEZING FRESH FOOD

• Take care to wrap foods or place them in a covered container before putting them in the freezer compartment.
• Hot foods and beverages must cool down to at least room temperature before you put them in the freezer compartment. Placing warm food into the freezer compartment causes the cooling system to operate continuously until the food is frozen solid, which is not ideal for saving energy.
• Freeze foods only that are fresh and in good quality.
• Pack the foods in an airtight manner to prevent them from drying, even if they are going to be stored for a short time.
• Materials used for packaging must be tear-proof and resistant to cold, humidity, odor, oils, and acids, and they must also be airtight. Moreover, they must be made from easy-to-use materials that are suitable for deep-freezing.
• Frozen foods should be used immediately after they are thawed and should never be refrozen.
• Do not freeze quantities of food that are too large. The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible.
• Placing warm food into the freezer compartment causes the cooling system to operate continuously until the food is frozen solid.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR STORING FROZEN FOOD

• Frozen foods you purchase must be stored according to the conditions and temperatures determined by the food manufacturer.
• Check the following steps to ensure optimal food quality from the manufacturer and/or food retailer is maintained:
  1. Put packages in the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase.
  2. Make sure that the content of the package is labeled and dated.
  3. Check whether the “Use By” or “Best Before” date on the packaging is expired or not.

• To remove, lift up the door bin to detach and then pull straight out.
• To replace, reverse the process so you’re putting in the bin at a slight angle, and then press down until it locks.

SHELVES AND DRAWERS

GLASS SHELVES

To remove a shelf

• Fully open the upper door of the refrigerator or both doors to gain better access.
• Hold the front of the shelf, and then gently lift up and slide out (see Figure 1).

To reinsert

• Hold the shelf at an angle so the front is higher than the back, and then insert the top hook into the top shelf notch (see Figure 2).
• Put down the front slightly to lock into place.

Note

• Use care when handling glass shelves to prevent breakage or scratching the interior.

ATTENTION

• Glass shelves must be unloaded when removing and reinstalling.
• You must wait for the glass shelves to reach room temperature before immersing them in water for cleaning, or you run the risk of the glass cracking or breaking.
• You cannot close the refrigerator’s door(s) if the door bins are positioned at the same level as glass shelves. Make sure that the door is closed after placing the shelves.

CRISPER COMPARTMENT

To remove the crisper

• Pull the crisper out until it stops.
• Doors must be fully opened to remove/install the crisper.
• Slightly unclip the front section of the drawer and take it out completely.

To install the crisper

• Pull the sliding rails out completely (see Figure 1).
• Using care to not scratch the inside of the refrigerator, place the gaps located at the bottom rear corners of the crisper onto the small extension pieces located at the rear corners of both rails (see Figure 2, red arrow).
• Push the crisper down until you feel the front section clip onto the rails (see Figure 3).

ATTENTION

• Make sure that the small extension pieces located on the rails at the right and left-hand sides are affixed when installing the crisper.

CRISPER COMPARTMENT TIPS

• The crisper compartment preserves the humidity of your produce, allowing you to store food for a long time without having to keep it in plastic bags.
• If you do not prefer fruits or vegetables to come in contact with other fruits and vegetables due to hygienic reasons, you can use perforated paper, foam, or a similar material instead of plastic bags to separate items.
• While vegetables and fruits are being replaced, take their specific weights into consideration; heavy and hard vegetables must be placed at the bottom of the crisper, while light and soft vegetables should be in the upper part.
• Pears, kiwis, tomatoes, cucumbers, apricots, peaches, broccolis, lettuces, cabbages, parsley, and spinach are examples of fruits and vegetables that emit ethylene gas. Do not place these items into the same crisper with other fruits and vegetables. The ethylene gas emitted by these foods may cause other fruits and vegetables to ripen sooner and to rot in a shorter span of time.
• Do not remove the main body of the crisper from the refrigerator separately unless you have to do so.

ATTENTION

• Never leave produce in plastic bags in the crisper. If food is left in plastic bags, it will ripen and rot in a shorter period of time.

FLEX DRAWER

• You can control the temperature in this section to store your food such as fish, meat, vegetables, and delicatessen products for a long time.
• The temperature range for the flex drawer is 30 °F to 41 °F (-1 °C to 5 °C).

ATTENTION

LOWER FREEZER DRAWER

• The freezer compartment store your foods at a temperature between -11.2 °F and -0.4 °F (-24 °C and -18 °C) to keep them fresh for a long time.

To remove the drawer

• Open the freezer door until it stops.
• Remove the four thumb screws (see Figure 1) and place them in a safe place. Carefully lift the front of the drawer and then the rear to remove (see Figure 2).

To install the drawer

• Open the freezer door until it stops.
• Slowly lower the rear of the crisper first and then the front until level. Reinstall the four thumb screws removed earlier.

HINGE ADJUSTMENT

• Use a socket wrench with a 1/4″ – T25 Torx bit to adjust the tension of the upper and lower hinges of the refrigerator door from the “0” to “1” positions.

CHANGING THE DOOR DIRECTION

• Please see the installation manual provided for directions on how to change the door orientation for 30″ models.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

CARE & CLEANING

• The service life of your product will extend and frequently encountered problems will decrease if the product is cleaned periodically.
• Never use gasoline, benzene, or similar substances for cleaning purposes.
• Never use any sharp abrasive instruments, soap, household cleaners, detergent, or wax polish for cleaning.
• The best cleaning option is to dissolve one teaspoon of baking soda in half liter of water. Soak a cloth in the solution and wring it thoroughly. Wipe the interior of the refrigerator with this cloth and then dry thoroughly.
• Make sure that no water contacts the light fixtures or other electrical parts.
• If you plan to not use the refrigerator for a long time, unplug it, remove all food inside, clean it, and leave the door ajar.
• Check regularly that the door gaskets are clean. If not, clean them.
• Take out all items inside the unit before removing the door and shelves for cleaning.
• Remove the door shelves by pulling them up. Slide the shelves downward to re-install them after cleaning. Refer to pages 18–21 for directions on how to remove/install shelves and drawers.
• Never use chloric cleaning agents or water to clean outer surfaces or chrome-coated parts of the product. Chlorine causes abrasion on such metal surfaces.

AVOIDING BAD ODORS

• Your appliance is equipped with a permanent odor filter installed in the back of the inside of the main refrigerator compartment that helps to eliminate food-related odors. However, odors may still emit if foods are stored improperly or if the interior of the product is not cleaned as required. Please consider the following to avoid this problem:
  • It is important that the refrigerator is kept clean.
  • Food residuals, stains, etc., can cause odor. For this reason, clean your refrigerator with the baking soda solution outlined above every 15 days. Never use detergents or soap.
  • Keep your foods in closed containers. Microorganisms emitted from containers without a cover may cause unpleasant odors.
  • Never keep expired or spoiled foods in your refrigerator.

SURFACE CLEANING AND PROTECTION

Plastic Surfaces

• Do not put liquid oils or oil-cooked meals in your refrigerator in unsealed containers as they damage the plastic surfaces of your refrigerator.
• If oil is spilled or smeared onto the plastic surfaces, clean and rinse the relevant part of the surface with warm water immediately.

WARNING

• Switch off the product before cleaning.
• It is recommended to clean the condenser every six months using gloves. You must not use vacuum cleaners.

The Inner Surface

• To clean the inner surfaces and all removable parts, wash them with a mild solution comprising soap, water and carbonate.
• Rinse and dry thoroughly.
• Prevent the water from contacting the lighting means and control panel.

Stainless Steel Outer Surfaces

• Use a stainless steel cleaning agent that is non-abrasive and apply it with a lint-free, soft cloth.
• For polishing, wipe the surface softly with a damp microfiber cloth and use dry wash-leather.
• Always follow the strands of the stainless steel.

ATTENTION

• Do not use vinegar, rubbing alcohol or other alcohol-based cleaning agents on any of the inner surfaces.

WARRANTY

COVERAGE

ZLINE Kitchen and Bath refrigerators have a two year parts and service warranty and a five year parts warranty on the sealed system. This is from the original purchase date for the original purchaser of the product.

TERMS

This warranty applies only to the original purchaser of the product installed for normal residential use. This is defined as a single-family, residential dwelling in a non-commercial setting. Commercial settings include but are not limited to: schools, churches, hotels, restaurants, vacation rentals such as Airbnb, day care centers, private clubs, fire stations, common areas in multi- family dwellings, nursing homes, food service locations, and institutional food service locations such as hospitals or correction facilities. This warranty is non-transferable and will not be extended based on the date of installation. The warranty applies only to products installed in the contiguous United States and the District of Columbia.

Warranty shall not apply and ZLINE Kitchen and Bath is not responsible for damage resulting from negligence, improper maintenance, misuse, abuse, alteration of or tampering with the appliance, accident, natural disaster, improper electric supply, unauthorized service or repair, improper installation, or installation not in accordance with the instructions contained in the manual or the local government codes.

WHAT IS NOT COVERED

1. Start-up damages or problems caused by improper installation or use.
2. Damage related to unauthorized service or unauthorized parts.
3. Installation in any commercial or non-residential application.
4. Aesthetic damage, scratches, or natural wear caused by normal use.
5. Second-hand, open box products, or products purchased from an unauthorized retailer.

NOTE: In the event that service is dispatched, and it is discovered that the reported issue is not covered under warranty based on the disclaimers above, the customer will be responsible for all service fees. Failure to pay these fees will result in the forfeiture of remaining warranty coverage.

The rating tag shows the model and serial number of your refrigerator. The product label and rating tag is located on the left-hand side of the inner door of the 30″ refrigerator and on the left-hand side of the left-side door of the 36″ model. The tag is visible when the refrigerator door is open. Do not remove permanently affixed labels, warnings, or plates from the product. This will void the warranty.
