noises
inside
the
unit!
You
may
notice
that
your
unit
makes
some
unusual
noises.
Most
of
these
are
perfectly
normal,
but
you
should
be
aware
of
them!
These
noises
are
caused
by
the
circulation
of
the
refrigerant
liquid
in
the
cooling
system.
It
has
become
more
pronounced
since
the
introduction
of
CFC
free
gases.
This
is
not
a
fault
and
will
not
affect
the
performance
of
your
unit.
This
is
the
compressor
motor
working,
as
it
pumps
the
refrigerant
around
the
system.

tips
for
keeping
food
in
the
unit
Cooked
meats/fishes
should
always
be
stored
on
a
shelf
above
raw
meats/fishes
to
avoid
bacterial
transfer.
Keep
raw
meats/fishes
in
a
container
which
is
large
enough
to
collect
juices
and
cover
it
properly.
Place
the
container
on
the
lowest
shelf.
Leave
space
around
your
food,
to
allow
air
to
circulate
inside
the
compartments.
Ensure
all
parts
of
the
unit
are
kept
cool.
To
prevent
transfer
of
flavours
and
drying
out,
pack
or
cover
the
food
separately.
Fruit
and
vegetables
do
not
need
to
be
wrapped.
Always
let
pre-cooked
food
cool
down
before
you
put
in
the
unit.
This
will
help
to
maintain
the
internal
temperature
of
the
unit.
To
prevent
cold
air
escaping
from
the
unit,
try
to
limit
the
number
of
times
you
open
the
doors.
We
recommend
that
you
only
open
the
doors
when
you
need
to
put
food
in
or
take
food
out.

meat
&
fish
bin
The
temperature
in
the
meat
&
fish
bin
is
best
to
store
fish
and
meat.
Do
not
store
fruits
and
vegetables
as
they
may
be
frozen
and
damaged.
This
is
because
the
temperature
in
the
meat
&
fish
bin
is
lower
than
other
fridge
bins
(can
be
lower
than
0°C).
For
example,
if
the
fridge
temperature
is
set
to
4°C,
the
temperature
in
the
meat
&
fish
bin
can
be
around
between
-2°C
to
2°C.
preparations
for
freezing
•
Use
quality
food
and
handle
it
as
little
as
possible.
Freeze
food
in
small
quantities
as
it
freezes
faster,
takes
less
time
to
defrost
and
enaljles
you
to
control
the
quantity
you
need
better.
•
Leave
cooked
food
to
cool
completely.
Chill
food
before
freezing
if
possible.
•
Consider
how
you
will
want
to
cook
the
food
before
freezing
it.
•
Don't
freeze
food
in
metal
containers
if
you
may
want
to
microwave
it
straight
from
the
freezer.
•
Use
special
freezer
bags,
freezer
film,
polythene
bags,
plastic
containers,
and
aluminium
foil
(heavy
duty
grade
only).
If
in
doubt,
double
wrap
your
food.
Don't
use
aluminium
foil
for
acidic
foods,
e.g.
citrus
fruits.
Don't
use
thin
cling
film,
glass,
or
used
food
containers
without
cleaning.
•
Exclude
as
much
air
from
the
container
as
possible.
You
could
buy
a
special
vacuum
pump
which
sucks
excessive
air
out
of
the
packaging.
•
Leave
a
small
amount
of
air
space
when
freezing
liquids
to
allow
expansion.
^
•
You
can
use
the
space
in
the
freezer
most
efficiently
if
you
freeze
liquids
(or
solids
with
liquids,
e.g.
stew)
in
square
blocks.
This
is
known
as
"Preforming".
Pour
the
liquid
into
a
polythene
bag
which
is
inside
a
square
sided
container.
Freeze
it,
and
then
remove
it
from
the
container
and
seal
the
bag.
•
Label
your
frozen
foods
as
they
will
look
the
same
when
in
frozen
state.
Use
special
freezer
tapes,
labels
and
pens
with
different
colours.
This
allows
you
to
easily
organise
and
to
effectively
use
the
freezer.
Write
the
contents
and
date;
otherwise
the
frozen
food
might
exceed
the
storage
time
and
this
could
cause
food
poisoning.
Please
refer
to
your
food
packaging
for
the
recommended
storage
time.

•
You
may
also
add
the
weight
and
cooking
notes,
e.g.
"defrost
first",
"cook
from
frozen"
and
keep
a
separate
log
of
what
is
in
each
drawer.
This
will
save
opening
the
door
and
searching
around
unnecessarily.
defrosting
frozen
food
1.
Take
the
frozen
food
out
from
the
freezer
compartment
and
uncover
the
frozen
food.
Let
it
defrost
at
room
temperature.
Don't
forget
that
defrosting
in
a
warm
area
encourages
the
growth
of
bacteria
and
low
temperature
cooking
may
not
destroy
dangerous
bacteria.
2.
Drain
off
and
throw
away
any
liquid
lost
during
defrosting.
3.
Always
make
sure
there
are
no
ice-crystals
in
the
food
before
cooking,
particularly
with
meat.
These
crystals
indicate
that
the
food
has
not
fully
defrosted.
4.
Cook
food
as
soon
as
possible
after
defrosting.
5.
Many
microwaves
and
ovens
have
a
defrost
setting.
To
avoid
bacterial
build
up,
only
use
these
if
you
intend
to
cook
the
food
immediately
afterwards.
A
Never
re-freeze
anything
that
has
been
defrosted
unless
you
cook
it
again,
to
kill
off
harmful
bacteria.
Never
re-freeze
defrosted
shellfish.
Re-seal
packs
properiy
after
removing
items.
This
prevents
drying
or
freezer-bum
and
a
build
up
of
frost
on
any
remaining
food.
