Normal Operating Sounds 

You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds
when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils
or tubing at the rear, to the cooling
plate/evaporator or to the fixed freezer shelves.

When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is
being pumped round, 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.

Fresh food refrigeration

To obtain the best performance, do not store warm
food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator; do
cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong
flavour.
Do not cover the shelves with any protective
material, such as paper, cardboard or plastic, which
may obstruct the air circulation through them.
To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are
some more useful hints:
Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & poultry or chicken):
wrap in polythene bags and place on top of the salad
crispers.

Meat can only be stored safely in this way for
one or two days at the most.

Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly
cleaned and placed in the bottom salad crispers.
Butter & cheese: these should be placed in special
airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or
polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.
Milk bottles: these should have a cap and should be
stored in the bottle rack on the door.

Thawing

Frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in
the fridge or at room temperature depending on the
time available. Small food items may even be cooked
from frozen; in this case cooking will take longer.

Any frozen food which is allowed to thaw accidentally
should either be eaten as soon as possible or thrown
away. Alternatively, if the food is uncooked and has
not been completely defrosted it can be cooked and
then refrozen.

Meat, fish and fruit should be thawed in the
refrigerator compartment and small pieces of meat
can even be cooked while still frozen, but you must
ensure that it is thoroughly cooked through.

Vegetables should be directly immersed in boiling
water; ready-cooked dishes can be placed directly in
the oven in their aluminium wrapping.

A microwave oven is particularly suitable for thawing
any type of frozen or deep-frozen food: follow the
oven instructions, particularly regarding the
placement of aluminium wrapping or containers in
the oven.

Defrosted cooked food must never be refrozen.

Frozen food storage

When you first start the freezer or if the freezer has
been out of use for some time, we advise you to
depress the ambient switch for at least two hours
before storing frozen food.

Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the
manufacturer.

Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than is absolutely necessary.

Warning

Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks etc.), in
the freezer compartment.

Ice Iollies, if consumed immediately after removal
from the freezer, can cause low temperature skin
burns.

Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands
are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or
“frost/freezer burns”.

Important

In the event of a power cut the food in the freezer will
not be affected if the power cut is short and if the
freezer is full. Do not open the door. Should the food
begin to thaw, it must be consumed quickly and must
not be re-frozen .

Ice cube tray holder

The holder is designed to hold the two ice cube trays
supplied and it is recommended that these are used.
The holder can be located onto the front of any of
the baskets.

To make ice cubes:

Fill the trays 3/4 full to allow the ice to expand and
place in the ice cube tray holder.

To turn out the ice cubes simply give the tray a slight
twist to release the cubes.

Door Reversal

1. Disconnect from the electricity supply.

2. Remove all loose items, including food, store food

in a cool place.

3. Gently lay the fridge/freezer on its back with the

top held away from the floor by 5-8 cm (2-3
inches) of packing;

4. Remove the feet (2-3)

5. Remove bottom hinge (1).

6. Remove the freezer door by releasing it from the

middle hinge (H).

7. Unscrew the middle hinge.

8. Slide out the fridge door from pin (G), unscrew

the latter and then screw it down into the hinge
hole provided on the opposite side, after having
removed the small plugs (I) which should then be
fitted on the opposite side.

9. Refit the fridge door and replace the middle hinge

to the left hand side.

10.Replace the door and bottom hinge (1) on the

opposite side.

11.Refit the feet (2-3) on the opposite side.

Attention

After completion of the door reversing operation,
check that the door gasket adheres to the cabinet. If
the ambient temperature is cold (i.e. in Winter), the
gasket may not fit perfectly to the cabinet. In that
case, wait for the natural fitting of the gasket or
accelerate this process by heating up the part
involved with a normal hairdryer on a low setting.
