Frozen food storage & ice making Ready-cooked foods Foods in dishes Opened cans Milk, dairy products Fresh meat, cold cuts, sausages, etc. Fruits, vegetables, salads Fill the supplied ice cube tray ¾ full with water and place in the freezer compartment. Turning up the thermostat control will speed up the freezing process, but remember to turn the thermostat control back to its original position. Do not use sharp or pointed items to remove a frozen ice cube tray from the freezer compartment. Storage Shelves The shelves in the refrigerator compartment are adjustable to allow storage of large items. 7 To allow the air to circulate within the fridge compartment do not cover the air circulation gaps behind the shelves (e. g. with tray etc. ) Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by packing all foodstuffs into airtight packages before placing them in the freezer compartment. Food which is to be frozen (when cool) should be placed in the fridge compartment before being transferred to the freezer compartment. 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 often switch on unnecessarily. Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the door from closing properly. Hints & Tips Normal Operating Sounds You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or tubing. 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. In the Event of a Power Failure If there is a power failure during the storage of frozen foods, keep the door closed. If the temperature within your freezer compartment should rise, do not refreeze the food without checking its condition. The following guidelines should assist you: Ice Cream: Once thawed should be discarded. Large Pieces of Meat: Can be refrozen 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 refrozen as a fresh dish. Food Storage To obtain the best performance from your appliance: Do not store warm food or evaporating liquid. When you arrive home, place the frozen food in the freezer compartment immediately.
