HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
NORMAL OPERATING
SOUNDS
• You may hear a faint gurgling and a
bubbling sound when the refrigerant is
pumped through the coils or tubing.
This is correct.
• When the compressor is on, the refrig-
erant is being pumped around and you
will hear a whirring sound and a pulsat-
ing noise from the compressor. This is
correct.
• The thermic dilatation might cause a
sudden cracking noise. It is natural, not
dangerous physical phenomenon. This
is correct.
HINTS FOR ENERGY SAVING
To obtain the best performance:
• 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 FRESH FOOD
REFRIGERATION
To obtain the best performance:
• do not store warm food or evaporating
liquids in the refrigerator
• do cover or wrap the food, particularly
if it has a strong flavour
• position food so that air can circulate
freely around it
HINTS FOR REFRIGERATION
Useful hints:
Meat (all types) : wrap in polythene bags
and place on the glass shelf above the
vegetable drawer.
For safety, store in this way only one or
two days at the most.
Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc..: these
should be covered and may be placed on
any shelf.
Fruit and vegetables: these should be
thoroughly cleaned and placed in the
special drawer(s) provided.
Butter and cheese: these should be
placed in special airtight containers or
wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene
bags to exclude as much air as possible.
Milk bottles: these should have a cap and
should be stored in the bottle rack on the
door.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if
not packed, must not be kept in the re-
frigerator.
HINTS FOR FREEZING
To help you make the most of the freez-
ing process, here are some important
hints:
• the maximum quantity of food which
can be frozen in 24 hrs. is shown on the
rating plate;
• the freezing process takes 24 hours. No
further food to be frozen should be
added during this period;
• only freeze top quality, fresh and thor-
oughly cleaned, foodstuffs;
• prepare food in small portions to ena-
ble it to be rapidly and completely fro-
zen and to make it possible subse-
quently to thaw only the quantity re-
quired;
• wrap up the food in aluminium foil or
polythene and make sure that the pack-
ages are airtight;
• do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to
touch food which is already frozen, thus
avoiding a rise in temperature of the
latter;
• lean foods store better and longer than
fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life
of food;
• water ices, if consumed immediately af-
ter removal from the freezer compart-
ment, can possibly cause the skin to be
freeze burnt;
• it is advisable to show the freezing in
date on each individual pack to enable
you to keep tab of the storage time.
