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 appliance:

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 compartment immediately.

Do not push food together too much.

Do not store uncovered food.

Ensure that food placed in the freezer compartment
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 compartment.

Food which is to be frozen (when cool) should
be placed in the fridge compartment before
being transferred to the freezer compartment.

Try to avoid keeping the door open for long
periods or opening the door too frequently as
warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the
compressor to often switch on unnecessarily.

Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the
door from closing properly.

In the Event of a Power Failure

If there is a power failure during the storage of
frozen foods, keep the door closed. If the
temperature within your freezer compartment
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 of Meat:

Can be refrozen providing

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.
