1. To Start the Freezer and Thermostat Control

Ice cubes

Fill the ice cupe tray 3/4 full with cold water, place it

in the freezer and leave it to freeze.

To loosen the frozen cubes, either twist the ice cube

tray or hold it under running water for a few

seconds. Important - Never try to free an ice tray

that is frozen to the freezer using pointed or sharp

objects.

Freezer tray

Use the freezer tray to freeze berries and vegetables.

After about 4 hours the food will be thoroughly

frozen and can then be packaged normally. Food

that is frozen in this way will not stick together,

enabling you to use only the amount required.

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.

Food Storage

Avoid buying frozen food if you can not store it

straight away. The use of an insulated container is

advisable. When you arrive home place the

frozen food in the freezer immerdiately.

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.

Remove suspect food from you refrigerator and

clean, refer to cleaning and maintenance.

In the event of a power failure causing the

temperature within your freezer to 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 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

refrozen as cooked dishes.

Chicken: should also be cooked and re-frozen as a

cooked dish.

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.
