that is frozen to the freezer using pointed or sharp
objects.

Hints and Tips

Energy Saving Advice

Do not install the cabinet close to sources of heat
such as a cooker, dishwasher or radiator.

Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilated
room and make sure that the air openings of the
cabinet are not obstructed.

Always leave warm food to cool down to room
temperature before placing in the fridge.

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.

It is advisable to periodically clean the
refrigeration system at the back of the appliance
with a duster or vacuum cleaner.

Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by
packing all foodstuffs into airtight packages
before placing them in the freezer.

Carefully follow the advice on freezing products
in the section "Use". This will prevent wasting
energy.

Do not set the temperature too low in the freezer.
A suitable temperature is in the range of -18°C
to -20°C .

Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a
thickness of 3-5 mm. Regularly check the door
seal to ensure that it is clean and free from debris.

Make sure the door gasket is complete and
always clean.

straight away. The use of an insulated container is
advisable. When you arrive home place the
frozen food in the freezer immerdiately.

and labelled and used in date order to ensure that
food is consumed at its best.

clean, refer to cleaning and maintenance.

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 " click" when the termostat cuts
in and out.
