Normal Operating Sounds
• You may hear aint gurgling or bubbling sounds
when the re rigerant is pumped through the coils
or tubing at the rear, to the cooling
plate/evaporator or to the ixed reezer shelves.
• When the compressor is on, the re rigerant is
being pumped round, and you will hear a whirring
sound or pulsating noise rom the compressor.
• A thermostat controls the compressor, and you
will hear a aint ’click’ when the thermostat cuts in
and out.
Making ice cubes
The appliance is provided with one or more trays or
ice-cubes trays.
Fill the tray(s) 3/4 ull to give the ice space to expand
and place them in the reezer compartment.
To release the ice cubes simply give the tray a slight
twist.
Do not use sharp or metallic instruments to remove
the trays rom the reezer.
Fresh ood re rigeration
To obtain the best per ormance, do not store warm
ood or evaporating liquids in the re rigerator; do
cover or wrap the ood, particularly i it has a strong
lavour.
Do not cover the shelves with any protective
material, such as paper, cardboard or plastic, which
may obstruct the air circulation through them.
To help you use your re rigerator correctly, here are
some more use ul hints:
Raw meat (bee , pork, lamb & wild owl): wrap in
polythene bags and place on top o the salad
crispers.
Meat can only be stored sa ely in this way or
one or two days at the most.
Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly
cleaned and placed in the bottom salad crispers.
Butter & cheese: these should be placed in special
airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium oil or
polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.
Milk bottles: these should have a cap and should be
stored in the bottle rack on the door.
Thawing
Frozen ood, prior to being used, can be thawed in
the ridge or at room temperature depending on the
time available. Small ood items may even be cooked
rom rozen; in this case cooking will take longer.
Any rozen ood which is allowed to thaw accidentally
should either be eaten as soon as possible or thrown
away. Alternatively, i the ood is uncooked and has
not been completely de rosted it can be cooked and
then re rozen.
Meat, ish and ruit should be thawed in the
re rigerator compartment and small pieces o meat
can even be cooked while still rozen, 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 or thawing
any type o rozen or deep- rozen ood: ollow the
oven instructions, particularly regarding the
placement o aluminium wrapping or containers in
the oven.
De rosted cooked ood must never be re rozen.
Frozen ood storage
When irst starting-up or a ter a period o non use,
be ore putting the products in the reezer
compartment let the appliance run or at least two
hours on the coldest setting, then turn the thermostat
knob to the normal opertion position.
Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the
manu acturer.
Finally, do not open the door requently or leave it
open longer than is absolutely necessary.
Important
Do not put carbonated liquids, ( izzy drinks etc.), in
the reezer compartment.
Ice Iollies, i consumed immediately a ter removal
rom the reezer, can cause low temperature skin
burns.
Do not remove items rom the reezer i your hands
are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or
“ rost/ reezer burns”.
