Thawing
Food can be thawed in a number of ways, depending on the type of food and the size of the packs.
Meat, fish and fruit should be thawed in the refrigera- tion compartment and small pieces of meat can even be cooked while still frozen, but you must ensure that it is thoroughly cooked through.

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

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

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.

To permit storage of food packages of various sizes the central door shelf can be adjusted in height.
To do this proceed as figure. For more thor-
