Hints and Tips

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
thermostat cuts in and out.

Storage

Frozen food can be stored anywhere
inside the freezer, but should be kept
below the load line. Never exceed the
maximum storage time for purchased
frozen food. When you buy a frozen food,
make sure that it has been stored at the
correct temperature. Do not buy
products which have wet or damaged
packaging. Place purchased products in
your freezer as quickly as possible. We
recommend using an insulated bag to
bring such products home with you.
Never place bottles, warm objects, or
fizzy drinks in the freezer.
IMPORTANT! Do not push
together too much, try to allow air to
circulate around each them.

Freezing

Only use fresh food of the best quality.
Cool hot dishes to room temperature as
quickly as possible before placing them
in the freezer. Wrap food carefully in
freezer foil, or use the special freezer
boxes or bags which are on the market.
Divide food into small portions before
freezing- this ensure that the freezing is
more rapid, and means that you only
need to defrost the amount needed for
immediate consumption.
Remember that defrosted food must not be
re-frozen. However, cooked dishes which
have been made using defrosted food may
be frozen. Mark the freezer packaging with
the date of freezing. We recommend keeping
a record of the contents of your freezer. If
freezing is too slow, the quality of the food
being frozen deteriorates. Consequently, do
not freeze larger amounts than is stated on
the freezer's data plate. If you wish to freeze
several days in a row the maximum freezing
capacity stated per day is reduced by about
one-third. As far as possible, keep the lid
closed during freezing. If you inexperienced
with home freezing, we recommend that
you purchase a book containing advice and
guidlines.
