The diagram below describes some of the noises you may hear. These are quite normal and mean your appliance is operating correctly The thermostat control will click when starting or stopping the compressor. The fan circulates cold air to cool the refrigerator and the freezer compartment and sounds like air blowing or a whirring sound. The flow of refrigerant through the freezer cooling coil makes a gurgling noise. Defrost water drips into the drain pan during the defrost cycle. Water dropping on the defrost heater causes a hissing or popping sound during the defrost cycle. The automatic defrost timer sounds like an electric clock and clicks in and out of the defrost cycle. Small packs freeze more quickly and uniformly and give better results. · · Frozen food, once thawed, must not be refrozen. Lean food keeps better and longer than fatty food, salt reduces the storage time. Wrap the food in polythene or aluminium freezing bags or foil so that they adhere to the food and provide an airtight seal . Packaging which is swollen or has traces of refrozen water droplets on the pack could indicate that the product has not been kept at a suitable temperature and that it may have lost its original quality. Partially thawed food must not be refrozen, it must be consumed within 24 hours. Never exceed the storage times indicated. Never place hot food, bottles or cans of fizzy drink in the freezer as they may explode. Containers with a lid must not be filled to the brim. Do not open the door or place extra fresh food in the freezer next to food which is already frozen as this could cause the temperature of the frozen food to rise and its quality and storage life to reduce . The symbols on the drawers show different types of frozen goods. The numbers indicate storage times in months for the appropriate types of frozen goods. Whether the upper or lower value of the indicated storage time is valid depends on the quality of the foods and pre-treating before freezing. · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · 8 MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried out, DISCONNECT the appliance from the ELECTRICITY supply.
