These are best assessed against a temperature
reading on a thermometer buried in the frozen
food. The reading must be taken quickly as the
thermometer temperature will rise rapidly after
removal.
Freezing fresh food
Place the fresh food on the top freezer shelf.
Food may need rearranging to achieve this.
During the freezing process the temperature of
fresh food should be reduced quickly so that ice
crystals are kept as small as possible to prevent
damaging the structure of food. If freezing takes
place slowly large ice crystals form and these will
affect the quality of food once it has defrosted.
Frozen food storage
The appliance has the following net storage
volume: 68 litres. This is a standard measure-
ment and the actual capacity depends upon the
density and sizes of the food. Pre-packed
commercially frozen food should be stored in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions
for a 4 star frozen food compartment and should
be put in the freezer as soon as possible after
purchase.
Your freezer provides for long term storage which
generally means up to 3 months but the length of
the time can vary and it is important to follow the
recommended times shown on
packets of commercially frozen food. Do not
place sealed containers or carbonated liquids
such as fizzy drinks into the freezer as it creates
pressure on the container which may cause it to
explode resulting to damage to the freezer. Ice
cubes and ice lollies should not be consumed
immediately after removal from the freezer as
it may result in low temperature skin abrasions.
Manufacturers storage times should be adhered
to.
Tips
Any opened packets of frozen food, should be
rewrapped in airtight materials to prevent
surface evaporation which causes drying or
“freezer burn”. Frozen food which is allowed to
thaw accidentally should either be used
immediately or thrown away. Alternatively if the
food is uncooked and has not been aim to check
dates on packets and rotate than recommended
is not harmful, flavours and textures begin to
change.
Hints and tips
Normal operating sounds
You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds
when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils
or tubing at the rear, to the cooling plate/
evaporator or to the fixed shelves. 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
thermostat cuts in and out.
Food storage
When you arrive home, place the frozen food in
the freezer immediately. Keep the time between
buying chilled food and placing it in your fridge
as short as possible.
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 labeled and
used in date order to ensure that food is
consumed at its best. Remove suspect food from
your refrigerator and clean, refer to
cleaning and maintenance.
Energy saving advice
Do not install the appliance close to sources of
heat, such as a cooker, dishwasher or radiator.
Locate the appliance in a cool wellventilated
room and make sure that the air openings is
good.
Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by
packing all foodstuffs into airtight packages.
Always leave warm food to cool down in room
freezer.
Food which is to be frozen (when cool) should be
placed in the fridge before being transferred to
the freezer. Thaw frozen food in the fridge. This
will ensure safer defrosting of food and reduce
the work of the refrigeration unit. Try to avoid
keeping the door open for long time, warm air will
enter the cabinet, and cause energy consump-
tion.
Ensure there are no obstructions preventing
the door from closing properly. It is advisable to
periodically clean the freezer.
