ENGLISH

of the time can vary and it is important 

to follow the recommended times shown 

on packets of commercially frozen 

food. Do not place sealed containers or 

carbonated liquids such as fizzy drinks 

into the freezer as it creates pressure 

on the container which may cause it 

to explode resulting to damage to the 

freezer. Ice cubes and ice lollies should 

not be consumed immediately after 

removal from the freezer as it may result 

in low temperature skin abrasions. 

Manufacturers storage times should be 

adhered to.

Tips

Any opened packets of frozen food, 

should be rewrapped in airtight materi-

als to prevent surface evaporation which 

causes drying or “freezer burn”. Frozen 

food which is allowed to thaw acciden-

tally should either be used immediately 

or thrown away. Alternatively if the food 

is uncooked and has not been aim to 

check dates on packets and rotate than 

recommended is not harmful, flavours 

and textures begin to change.

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 or to the 

fixed freezer shelves.

When the compressor is on, the refriger-

ant is being pumped round, and you 

will hear a whirring sound or pulsating 

noise from the compressor. A thermostat 

controls the compressor, and thermostat 

cuts in and out.

Food storage

When you arrive home, place the frozen 

food in the freezer immediately. Keep 

the time between buying chilled food 

and placing it in your fridge as short as 

possible.

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 labeled and used in date order to 

ensure that food is consumed at its best. 

Remove suspect food from your refrig-

erator and clean, refer to cleaning and 

maintenance.

Energy saving advice

Do not install the appliance close to 

sources of heat, such as a cooker, dish-

washer or radiator. Locate the appliance 

in a cool well- ventilated room and make 

sure that the air openings is good.

Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet 

by packing all foodstuffs into airtight 

packages. Always leave warm food to 

cool down in room freezer.

Food which is to be frozen (when cool) 

should be placed in the fridge before 

being transferred to the freezer. Thaw 

frozen food in the fridge. This will ensure 

safer defrosting of food and reduce the 

work of the refrigeration unit.

Try to avoid keeping the door open for 

long time, warm air will enter the cabinet, 

and cause energy consumption.

Ensure there are no obstructions pre-

venting the door from closing properly. 

It is advisable to periodically clean the 

freezer.

In the event of a power failure

If there is a power failure during the stor-

age of frozen food, 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.

•  Fruit and vegetables: If soft should be 

cooked and used up.

•  Bread and 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 re-

frozen providing there are ice crystals 

remaining within them.
