If you are still unable to solve the problem, summon the
assistance of authorised service staff.
Do not take any other steps. Incorrect procedure may
cause personal injury or lead to additional defects.
It is quite normal for the freezer to seem warm on the
outside occasionally, owing to the heat generated by the
freezing process. This heat also helps to prevent the
formation of moisture on the outside of the appliance which
could cause rust.
If the freezer has been switched off briefly, the compressor
may not start immediately when the current is re-
connected. This is quite normal.

The hold-over period mentioned in the "Technical
Specification" section of this book refers to an estimated
time the freezer temperature will take to rise to an
unacceptable level for keeping frozen foods.
Providing the period of power failure or breakdown does not
exceed the hold-over period there will be no risk of damage
to the frozen food, providing you do not open the lid during
this period.
If the freezer is only half full or the lid is opened this will
reduce the hold-over time.
After the breakdown period you are recommended to
check the condition of food to ensure it has not started to
thaw. Frozen food must NOT be re-frozen once it has
thawed out. 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 re-frozen without danger.
Shellfish:
Should be refrigerated and used up
quickly.
Cooked Dishes:
ie. casseroles should be refrigerated
and used up.
Large Pieces of Meat:
Can be re-frozen providing
there are still ice
crystals remaining within
them.
Small Joints:
Should be cooked and can then be
re-frozen
as cooked dishes.
Chicken:
Should also be cooked and re-
frozen as a
cooked dish.
