Important
Do not put carbonated liquids in the
freezer.
Ice lollies, if consumed immediately after
removal from the freezer can cause a low
temperature skin burn.
In the event of a power cut the food in the
freezer will not be affected if the power
cut is short and the freezer is full. Do not
open the door. Should the food begin to
thaw it must be consumed quickly and
must not be re-frozen. (See Hints and
Tips)
Do not remove items from the freezer if
your hands are damp/wet, as this could
cause skin abrasions or frost/freezer
burns.
Thawing
Deep frozen or frozen food, prior to being
used, can be thawed in the fridge or at
room temperature, depending on the
time available. Small food items may even
be cooked from frozen, in this case
cooking will take longer.
Any frozen food which is thawed
accidentally should either be eaten as
soon as possible, or thrown away.
Alternatively, if the food is uncooked and
has not been completely defrosted it can
be cooked and then refrozen.
Defrosted cooked food must
never be refrozen.

To Make Ice Cubes
1. Fill the ice cube tray ¾ full with cold
water, place in the freezing
compartment and leave to freeze.
2. To remove the cubes twist the tray or
hold it under running water for a few
seconds.
Never try to free an ice tray that is
frozen to the freezer compartment by
using pointed or sharp edged objects.

Normal Operating Sounds
You may hear faint gurgling or
bubbling sounds when the refrigerant
is pumped through the coils or tubing.
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.
