It is quite normal for the freezer to seem warm on the outside occasionally, owing to the heat generated by the freezing process. This heat also helps to prevent the formation of moisture on the outside of the appliance which could cause rust.

If the freezer has been switched off briefly, the compressor may not start immediately when the current is re- connected. This is quite normal.

IN THE CASE OF A POWER FAILURE OR BREAKDOWN

The hold-over period mentioned in the "Technical Specification" section of this book refers to an estimated time the freezer temperature will take to rise to an unacceptable level for keeping frozen foods.

Providing the period of power failure or breakdown does not exceed the hold-over period there will be no risk of damage to the frozen food, providing you do not open the lid during this period.

If the freezer is only half full or the lid is opened this will reduce the hold-over time.

After the breakdown period you are recommended to check the condition of food to ensure it has not started to thaw. Frozen food must NOT be re-frozen once it has thawed out. The following guidelines should assist you.

Ice cream:	Once thawed should be
	discarded.

Fruits & Vegetables: If soft should be cooked and used up.

Breads & Cakes: Can be re-frozen without danger.

Shellfish: Should be refrigerated and used

up quickly.

Cooked Dishes: ie. casseroles should be refrigerated and used up.

Small Joints: Should be cooked and can then be re-frozen as cooked dishes.

Chicken:Should also be cooked and re-frozen as a cooked dish.
