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 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.

Making ice cubes

The appliance is provided with one or more trays for

ice-cubes trays.
Fill the tray(s) 3/4 full to give the ice space to expand

and place them in the freezer compartment.
To release the ice cubes simply give the tray a slight

twist.
Do not use sharp or metallic instruments to remove

the trays from the freezer.

Fresh food refrigeration

To obtain the best performance, do not store warm

food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator; do

cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong

flavour.
Do not cover the shelves with any protective

material, such as paper, cardboard or plastic, which

may obstruct the air circulation through them.
To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are

some more useful hints:
Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & poultry or chicken):

wrap in polythene bags and place on top of the salad

crispers.
Meat can only be stored safely in this way for

one or two days at the most.
Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly

cleaned and placed in the bottom salad crispers.
Butter & cheese: these should be placed in special

airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or

polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.
Milk bottles: these should have a cap and should be

stored in the bottle rack on the door.

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.
Meat, fish and fruit should be thawed in the

refrigerator compartment and small pieces of meat

can even be cooked while still frozen, but you must

ensure that it is thoroughly cooked through.
Vegetables should be directly immersed in boiling

water; ready-cooked dishes can be placed directly in

the oven in their aluminium wrapping.
A microwave oven is particularly suitable for thawing

any type of frozen or deep-frozen food: follow the

oven instructions, particularly regarding the

placement of aluminium wrapping or containers in

the oven.
Defrosted cooked food must never be refrozen.
