Normal Operating Sounds
You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped through
the coils or tubing to the cooling plate/evaporator or the fixed freezer baskets at the rear.
When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped around 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.
Food Storage
To obtain the best results from your appliance, neither hot foods nor liquids which may
evaporate, should be placed in the freezer compartment.
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.
Keep the time between buying chilled food and placing it in your freezer as short as
possible.
Do not pack 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.
Remove suspect food from your freezer.
Clean any spills immediately - refer to Cleaning Section.

openings on the casing are not obstructed.

before placing them in the freezer
Always leave warm food to cool down to room temperature before placing in the freezer.
