HINTS AND TIPS

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.

¥ 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 ÕclickÕ when the thermostat cuts in

and out.

Food Storage

To obtain the best performance from your freezer 
¥ Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids.
¥ 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 frezeer 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 they adhere to the food and

provide an airtight seal .

¥ Packaging which is swollen or has traces of

refrozen water droplets on the pack could

indicate that the product has not been kept at a

suitable temperature and that it may have lost its

original quality. Partially thawed food must not be

refrozen, it must be consumed within 24 hours.

Never exceed the storage times indicated by the

manufacturer.

¥ The symbols on the drawers show different types

of frozen goods.
The numbers indicate storage times in months for

the appropriate types of frozen goods. Whether

the upper or lower value of the indicated storage

time is valid depends on the quality of the foods

and pre-treating before freezing. 

Energy Saving Advice

¥ Do not install the appliance close to sources of

heat, such as a boiler or radiator.

¥ Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilated

room and make sure that the air openings of the

appliance are not abstructed.

¥ Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by

packing all foodstuffs into airtight packages

before placing them in the freezer.

¥ Food which is to be frozen (when cool) should be

placed in the fridge before being transferred to

the freezer.

¥ Try to avoid keeping the door open for long

periods or opening the door too frequently as

warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the

compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.

¥ Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the

door from closing properly.

In the Event of a Power Failure

If there is a power failure during the storage of frozen

foods, keep the door closed. If the temperature

within your freezer should rise, do not refreeze the

food without checking its condition. 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 refrozen without danger.

Shellfish: 

Should be refrigerated and used up

quickly.

Cooked Dishes: 

i. e. casseroles should be

refrigerated and used up.

Large Pieces of Meat: 

Can be refrozen providing

there are still ice crystals remaining within them. 

Small Joints: 

Should be cooked and can then be

refrozen as cooked dishes. 

Chicken: 

Should also be cooked and refrozen as a

fresh dish.
