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 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 `click' when the thermostat cuts in and out. 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. This should be removed with the special plastic scraper provided, whenever the thickness of the frost exceeds 1/4". During this operation it is not necessary to switch off the power supply or to remove the foodstuffs. However, when the ice becomes very thick on the inner liner, complete defrosting should be carried out and it is advisable to carry out this operation when the appliance is empty. To carry out complete defrosting proceed as follows: 1. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and put it in a cool place. Turn the thermostat control knob to the «q» setting. Leave the door open and insert the plastic scraper in the special location to act as an extension channel; pull out the drawer to collect the defrost water (see Fig. ). When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thoroughly. Turn the thermostat control knob to a medium setting (-18°C) and, after letting the appliance run for at least two hours in the «fast freeze» mode, replace the previously removed food into the compartments. PR001 Important A temperature rise of the frozen food packs during defrosting may shorten their storage life. Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as you could damage the appliance beyond repair. Important In the event of a power failure causing the temperature within your freezer to rise, do not re-freeze the food without checking its condition. The following guidelines should assist you: Ice-cream: once thawed should be discarded. Fruits & Vegetables: if soft should be cooked and used up. Breads & Cakes: can be re-frozen without danger. Shellfish: should be refrigerated and used up quickly. casseroles should be refrigerated and used up. Large Pieces of Meat: can be re-frozen providing there are still ice crystals remaining within them. Small Joints: should be cooked and can then be re-frozen as cooked dishes. [. . . ] Refit the door and the bottom hinge (5) to the left hand side. When positioning the bottom hinge blade on the reverse side, the securing screws will require a degree of exersion when fitting. It is therefore advisable to lubricate the screw tips before starting this operation. Important After completion of the door reversal operation, verify that the door gasket is sealing onto the cabinet. [. . . ]
