Warning
Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks etc.), in the freezer compartment.
Ice lollies, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer, can cause low temperature skin burns.
Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or “frost/freezer burns”.
Important
In the event of a power cut the food in the freezer will not be affected if the power cut is short and if the freezer is full. Do not open the door. Should the food begin to thaw, it must be consumed quickly and must not be
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 refrigerator 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;
A microwave oven is particularly suitable for thawing any type of frozen or
Fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance, do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator; 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 & poultry or chicken): wrap in polythene bags and place on top of the salad crispers.
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 crispers.
Butter & cheese: these should be placed in special 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.
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 plate/evaporator or to the fixed freezer shelves.
•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.
Making ice cubes
The appliance is provided with one or more trays for
Fill the tray(s) 3/4 full to give the ice space to expand and place them in the freezer compartment.
To release the ice cubes simply give the tray a slight twist.
Do not use sharp or metallic instruments to remove the trays from the freezer.
