After defrosting is finished clean the inside with a solution of warm
water with a little bicarbonate of soda and then dry thoroughly. Wash
all removable parts in the same way and reassemble.
Reconnect the appliance to the mains supply and leave for
2 to 3 hours on MAX before introducing the food back into the freezer
and setting the thermostat to your normal setting.
NOISE FROM YOUR APPLIANCE
You may notice some rather unusual noises. The noises are caused by
circulation of refrigerant in the cooling system. It has become more
pronounced since the introduction of CFC free gases. This is not a fault
and will not affect the performance of your fridge.
PROLONGED OFF PERIODS
If the appliance is not in use for a long period of time,
proceed as follows:
1. Disconnect from the mains supply.
2. Clean and dry the inside (see ‘Cleaning and maintenance’).
3. Leave the door open to prevent any unpleasant smells from
building up while the appliance is not in use.
NOTES FOR USE
Do clean and defrost your appliance regularly.
Do check contents of the compartments every so often.
Do store commercially prepared food in accordance with the
instructions given on the packets.
Do choose high quality fresh food and be sure it is thoroughly clean
before freezing it.
Do wrap all food in food quality polythene bags or air tight containers
and make sure any air is excluded.
Do Not store poisonous or any dangerous substances in your freezer. It
is designed for the freezing of edible foodstuffs only.
Do Not consume food which has been frozen for an excessive length
of time.
Do Not leave the door open for long periods, as this will make the
appliance more costly to run and cause excessive ice formation.
Do Not use sharp objects such as knives to remove the ice from the
appliance. Only use a plastic scraper.
Do Not put hot food into the appliance. Let it cool down to room
temperature.
Do Not put liquid-filled bottles or sealed cans containing carbonated
liquids into the freezer as they may burst.
Do Not give children ice-cream and water ices direct from the freezer
as the low temperature may cause ‘freezer burns’ on the lips.
Do Not try to keep frozen food which has thawed; it should be eaten
within 24 hours or cooked and re-frozen.
