HINTS AND TIPS
NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS
The following sounds are normal during operation:
• A faint gurgling and bubbling sound from coils
sound when refrigerant is pumped.
• A whirring and pulsating sound from the
compressor when refrigerant is pumped.
• A sudden cracking noise from inside appliance
caused by thermic dilatation (a natural and not
dangerous physical phenomenon).
• A faint click noise from the temperature
regulator when the compressor switches on or
off.
HINTS FOR ENERGY SAVING
• Do not open the door frequently or leave it open
longer than absolutely necessary.
• Do not remove the cold accumulators from the
freezer basket.
HINTS FOR FREEZING
• Freeze only top quality, fresh and thoroughly
cleaned food products.
• For more efficient freezing and thawing divide
food into small portions.
CARE AND CLEANING

• Wrap the food in aluminium foil or polythene.
Make sure that the packages are airtight.
• To avoid increase in temperature of already
frozen food, do not place fresh unfrozen food
directly next to it.
• Lean foods store better and longer than fatty
ones. Salt reduces the storage life of food.
• Do not eat ice cubes, water ices or ice lollies
immediately after taking them out of the freezer.
Risk of frostbites.
• It is advisable to show the freezing date on each
individual pack to enable you to keep tab of the
storage time.
HINTS FOR STORAGE OF FROZEN FOOD
• Make sure that the commercially frozen food
products were adequately stored by the retailer.
• Make sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred
from the food store to the freezer in the shortest
possible time.
• Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and
cannot be refrozen.
• Do not exceed the storage period indicated by
the food manufacturer.
CAUTION! Do not damage the
cooling system.
The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
1. Clean the inside and accessories with
lukewarm water and some neutral soap.
2. Regularly check the door seals and wipe them
clean to ensure they are clean and free from
debris.
3. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
4. If accessible, clean the condenser and the
compressor at the back of the appliance with a
brush.
This will improve the performance of the
appliance and save electricity consumption.
DEFROSTING OF THE FREEZER
The freezer compartment is frost free. This means
that there is no build up of frost when it is in
operation, neither on the internal walls, nor on the
foods.
