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.
CHANGING THE LIGHT BULB
1. The fridge and freezer lights are energy efficient long life
LEDs. Therefore, they should not need replacing throughout
the life of the product.
2. The bulb is a direct current 12V LED module and in the
unlikely event it does fail then it will need to be replaced by a
qualified engineer.
