Some useful hints for freezing
■
The fresh foods to be frozen must be fresh and
of the best quality.
■
The size of each pack should be small enough to
ensure that it is used in one go. Small packs
freeze more quickly and uniformly and give better
results.
■
Frozen food, once thawed, must not be refrozen.
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. Stick a label on each
pack showing the contents and date of freezing.
This makes it easy to check storage times. The
same information can be copied onto the record
card in the door.
■
Never place hot food, bottles or cans of fizzy
drink in the freezer as they may explode.
Containers with a lid must not be filled to the
brim.
■
Do not open the door or place extra fresh food in
the freezer next to food which is already frozen
as this could cause the temperature of the frozen
food to rise and its quality and storage life to
reduce.
■
In the first compartment, produce must only be
starked up to the mark on the drawer soas to
ensure that air circulation is not obstructed.
Thawing
Food can be thawed in a number of ways, depend-
ing on the type of food and the size of the packs.
Meat, fish and fruit should be thawed in the refriger-
ation compartment and small pieces of meat or
poultry can even be cooked while still frozen, but
you must ensure that it is thoroughly cooked
through.
Vegetables should be directly immersed in boiling
water; ready-cooked dishes can be placed directly in
the oven in their aluminium wrapping.
A microwave oven is particularly suitable for thawing
any type of frozen or deep-frozen food: follow the
oven instructions, particularly regarding the place-
ment of aluminium wrapping in the oven.
Making ice cubes
The appliance is provided with a plastic ice cube
tray.
Fill the tray 3/4 full to allow the ice to expand and
place in one of the freezer drawers.
To turn out the ice cubes simply give the tray a
slight twist to release the cubes.
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 evaporator.
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.
