[. . . ] Remember you must take your reading very quickly since the thermometer temperature will rise very rapidly after you remove it from the freezer. Please remember each time the door is opened cold air escapes and the internal temperature rises. Therefore never leave the door open and ensure it is closed immediately after food is put in or removed. In case of a temporary ice build up in the fridge compartment, reduce the thermostat setting to 1, monitoring at the same time that the fridge temperature is maximum +5 degrees C [41 degrees F]. Once the ice build up disappears and the appliance starts auto defrosting again as normal, then you may increase the thermostat setting, if required. 10 STARTING Final Check Before you start using the fridge/freezer check that: 1. The interior is dry and air can circulate freely at the rear of the cabinet. Clean the interior as recommended under "CLEANING AND CARE. " 4. Insert the plug into the wall socket and switch on the electricity supply. · When the door is open the fridge interior light will come on. The liquid and gases sealed within the refrigeration system may also give rise to noise, whether the compressor is running or not which is quite normal. We recommend that you check the temperature with an accurate thermometer (see; Temperature Control and Adjustment)" FREEZING FRESH FOOD Please observe the following instructions to obtain the best results. The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible. Do not exceed the freezing capacity of your appliance in 24 h which is 5 kg (11 lb) Placing warm food into the freezer compartment causes the refrigeration compressor to operate continuously until the food is frozen solid. This can temporarily lead to excessive cooling of the refrigeration compartment. When freezing fresh food turn the thermostat knob towards 5 Small quantities of food up to 1/2 kg. (1 lb) can be frozen without having to rotate the temperature control knob. MAKING ICE CUBES Fill the ice - cube tray 3/4 full with water and place it in the Ice Bank. Loosen frozen trays with the handle of a spoon, never use sharp edged objects such as knives, forks. Note: If freshly made ice cubes are not consumed for several weeks and stored in Ice Bank, they will slowly reduce in size and eventually disappear completely. STORING FROZEN FOOD Prepacked commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the frozen food manufacturer's instructions for a frozen food storage compartment. To ensure that the high quality achieved by the frozen food manufacturer and the food retailer is maintained, the following should be remembered: 1. Do not exceed "Use By", "Best Before" dates on the packaging. Frozen food should not be affected if the failure lasts for less than 19 hrs.
