To release the ice cubes, twist the tray along its length. Never use a sharp instrument to remove ice from the tray. Automatic defrost Your appliance has been designed to be frost free. This means there is no need to manually defrost your appliance as this will be carried out automatically. Normal operating sounds The advanced design of today's frost free appliances mean you hear unfamiliar noises during everyday operation. The diagrams below describe some of the noises you may hear. These are quite normal and mean your appliance is operating correctly. COOLING FAN You may hear the cooling air being blown inside the cabinet by the fan. The flow of liquids and gases through the cooler may create a bubbling or gurgling sound. During normal operations movement caused by temperature change may cause sudden sharp sounds. DRAIN PAN Water may occasionaly be heard running into the drain pan. TIMER The automatic defrost timer sounds like an electric clock and clicks in and out of the defrost cycle. MOTOR Modern, high efficiency motors operate much faster than older models. The motor may have a high pitched hum or pulsating sound. 7 HEALTH AND SAFETY GUIDELINES Because of consumer demand, preservatives have been removed from many pre-prepared foods. This together with the changes in shopping habits to a once-a-week shop, mean that safe handling and storage of food is even more important than ever. The following tips should help you to ensure that the food in your home is in as perfect condition as possible. s Keep the freezer door closed as much as possible. Do not push food together too much, try to allow air to circulate around each item. Cool cooked food as quickly as possible but do NOT place in the freezer until cool. (Leave food in a place as cool as possible in order that it can then be placed in the refrigerator as soon as possible). The best way to defrost food is to put it in the refrigerator to thaw slowly. 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. It is important that food is used before its "best before" date. Always wash your hands with soapy water and dry them with a clean towel before handling food. Keep work surfaces clean and avoid cross contamination by not using the same work surface or knife, without washing them thoroughly in between. The foods to be frozen must be fresh and of the best quality. s s The size of each pack should be small enough to ensure that it is used in one go. Small packs freeze more quickly and uniformly and give better results. [. . . ] Gently lay the appliance on its back with the top held away from the floor by 5-8 cm (2-3 inches) of packing.
