Important

In the event of a power failure causing the
temperature within your freezer to rise, do
not re-freeze 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 re-frozen 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 still ice crystals remaining
within them.
Small Joints: should be cooked and can then
be re-frozen as cooked dishes.
Chicken: should also be cooked and re-frozen
as a cooked dish.

Thawing

Frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in the
fridge or at room temperature depending on the time
available. Small food items may even be cooked from
frozen; in this case cooking will take longer.
Any frozen food which is allowed to thaw accidentally
should either be eaten as soon as possible or thrown
away. Alternatively, if the food is uncooked and has
not been completely defrosted it can be cooked and
then refrozen.
Defrosted cooked food must never be refrozen.

Ice making

Fill the ice tray with water to the top of each ice cube
compartment, and place it in the freezer. To release
the ice cubes, twist the tray along its length. Never use
a sharp instrument to remove ice from the tray.

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 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.
