Hints And Tips - IKEA FROSTFRI Handbuch

ENGLISH
The freezer drawers ensure that it is quick
and easy to find the food package you
want. If large quantities of food are to be
stored, remove all drawers except for the
bottom drawer which needs to be in place
to provide good air circulation. On all
shelves it is possible to place food that
protrude until 15 mm from the door.
Warning! In the event of
accidental defrosting, for
example due to a power failure,
if the power has been off for
longer that the value shown in
the technical characteristics chart
under "rising time", the defrosted
food must be consumed quickly
or cooked immediately and then
re-frozen (after cooling).
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being
used, can be thawed in the refrigerator
compartment or at room temperature,
depending on the time available for this
operation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still
frozen, directly from the freezer: in this case,
cooking will take longer.

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).
Removal of freezing baskets from the
freezer
The freezing baskets have a limit stop to
prevent their accidental removal or falling
out.
At the time of its removal from the freezer,
pull the basket towards yourself (1) and,
upon reaching the end point, remove the
basket by tilting its front upwards (2).
At the time of putting it back, slightly lift the
front of the basket to insert it into the
freezer. Once you are over the end points,
push the baskets back in their position.
• A faint click noise from the temperature
regulator when the compressor switches
on or off.

• Do not open the door frequently or leave
it open longer than absolutely necessary.
