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.
Food Storage
To obtain the best performance from your
freezer:
Do not store warm food or evaporating
liquid.
Avoid buying frozen food if you cannot
store it straight away. The use of an
insulated container is advisable. When
you arrive home, place the frozen food
in the freezer immediately.
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 labelled and used in date
order to ensure that food is consumed
at its best.
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
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.
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.
