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 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 it in the -star compartment. To turn out the ice cubes simply give the tray a slight twist to release the cubes.

Important

Do not consume ice-lollies which have just

come out of the -star compartment. Their extremely low temperature can cause frost burns. Do not remove items from the

-star compartment if your hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abra sions or "frost/freezer burns".

Normal operating sounds

You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or tubing at the rear and 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.

Fresh food refrigeration

To obtain the best performance, do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigera- tor; do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour.

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 refrigerator correctly, here are some more useful hints:

Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & wild fowl): wrap in polythene bags and place on the first shelf under

the -star compartment.

Meat can only be stored safely in this way for one or two days at the most.

Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the bottom salad crisper. Butter & cheese: these should be placed in spe- cial airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil 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.

The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with runners so that shelves can be positioned as desired.
