Making ice cubes
The appliance is provided with a plastic ice cube tray.
Fill the tray 3/4 full to allow the ice to expand and
place it in the -star compartment. To turn out the
ice cubes simply give the tray a slight twist to release
the cubes.
Never try to free an ice tray that is frozen to the
-star compartment using a sharp or pointed
object.
Important
Do not consume ice-lollies which have just
come out of the -star compartment. Their
extremely low temperature can cause frost
burns. Do not remove items from the -star
compartment if your hands are damp/wet, as
this could cause skin abrasions or "frost/freezer
burns".
Normal Operating Sounds
You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when
the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or tubing at
the rear, to the cooling evaporator.
When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being
pumped round, and you will hear a whirring sound or
pulsating noise from the compressor.
A thermostat controls the compressor, and you will
hear a faint ‘click’ when the thermostat cuts in and out.
Thawing
Food can be thawed in a number of ways, depending
on the type of food and the size of the packs.
Meat, fish and fruit should be thawed in the
refrigeration compartment and small pieces of meat
can even be cooked while still frozen, but you must
ensure that it is thoroughly cooked through.
Vegetables should be directly immersed in boiling
water; ready-cooked dishes can be placed directly in
the oven in their aluminium wrapping.
A microwave oven is particularly suitable for thawing
any type of frozen or deep-frozen food: follow the oven
instructions, particularly regarding the placement of
aluminium wrapping in the oven.
