About the Freezer Compartment
There is a heater behind the front frame of the freezer
compartment which ensures that the door seal remains
supple.
The door seal will not be fully effective until the unit has been
switched on for a minimum period of four hours.
The freezer compartment consists of two drawers, three glass
shelves and three tilting door shelves
.
As with the fridge, certain areas of the freezer are better for
storage of certain foods.
Large/heavier portions of food, such as meats joints for
roasting are best stored in the drawers at the bottom of the
appliance, while less weighty items should be stored on the
shelves – this is to prevent damage to the appliance.
You should always make sure that food stored is suitable
for freezing, and that you have stored it securely inside the
appliance.

Removing and Refitting the Drawers

The Light
The interior lights comes on when the door is opened.
The performance of the lights is not affected by any of the
appliances other settings.
Defrosting Food for Cooking
Should food become partially thawed or defrosted, it should
be consumed as soon as possible as the quality will be
affected by defrosting.

n
Always make sure that food is thoroughly defrosted
before cooking and no ice crystals remain. This
is especially important for poultry, as this can be
extremely harmful to health.
Always follow the defrosting instructions on packaging when
defrosting ready meals – manufacturers’ guidelines are always
best, as some frozen foods should be cooked from frozen.
The Icemaker/Water Dispenser
Precautions
•
NEVER expose the water pipe to temperatures below
0 °C to avoid freezing.
•
Test the tubing for leaks by flushing the tube through
with water, until the water runs clear.
•
After the appliance has been sited into the location of
your choice, make sure that the water tube is arranged
so it does not incur damage through bends and kinks
and is clear of any heat sources.
•
Once the temperature inside the freezer is at –15 °C ice
production will begin.
•
DO NOT over use the icemaker. If you attempt to use
the ice cube button too often it will go into a shut down
mode. This is perfectly normal and requires you to wait
for one hour before attempting to re-use it.
•
DO NOT use delicate or fragile glassware.
•
DO NOT touch the ice cube outlet with your hands, or
any implements to avoid injury or damage.
How the Icemaker Works
Capacity of the icemaker depends on the freezer
temperature, the ambient temperature of the environment
around the appliance and how often the freezer door is
opened.
Do not store ice cubes, which are produced during the
first batch of cubes following appliance start up, or after a
prolonged break. Discard these cubes.
To allow the ice cube tray to fill to maximum capacity, you will
need to manually arrange the ice cubes periodically.
Some ice cubes may stick together when dropped into the
storage box – you will need to separate these to ensure
maximum use of the icebox.
