Normal Operating Sounds

You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds

when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or

tubing.

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.

Food Storage

To obtain the best performance from your freezer:

Do not store warm food or evaporating liquid.

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.

Do not push 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.

Lean food keeps better and longer than fatty food,

salt reduces the storage time.

Wrap the food in polythene or aluminium freezing

bags or foil so that they adhere to the food and

provide an airtight seal.

Packaging which is swollen or has traces of

refrozen water droplets on the pack could indicate

that the product has not been kept at a suitable

temperature and that it may have lost its original

quality.  Partially thawed food must not be refrozen,

it must be consumed within 24 hours.  Never

exceed the storage times indicated by the

manufacturer.

Energy Saving Advice

Do not install the appliance close to sources of

heat, such as a boiler or radiator.

Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilated room

and make sure that the air openings of the

appliance are not obstructed.

Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by

packing all foodstuffs into airtight packages before

placing them in the freezer.

Food which is to be frozen (when cool) should be

placed in the fridge before being transferred to the

freezer.

Try to avoid keeping the lid open for long periods or

opening the lid too frequently as warm air will enter

the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on

unnecessarily often.

Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the lid

from closing properly.

In the Event of a Power Failure

If there is a power failure during the storage of

frozen foods, keep the lid closed.  If the

temperature within your freezer should rise, do not

refreeze the food without checking its condition.

The following guidelines should assist you:

Ice Cream:

Once thawed should be

discarded.

Fruits & Vegetables:

If soft should be cooked and

used up.

Breads & Cakes:

Can be refrozen without 

danger.

Shellfish:

Should be refrigerated and 

used up quickly.

Cooked Dishes:

i.e. casseroles should be

refrigerated and used up.

Large Pieces 

Can be refrozen providing 

of Meat:

there are still ice crystals 

remaining within them.

Small Joints:

Should be cooked and can 

then be refrozen as cooked 

dishes.

Chicken:

Should also be cooked and

refrozen as a fresh dish.
