OPERATION
Before use
Remove all securing tapes. Wash inside the
appliance with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of
soda
(5 ml to 0.5 litre of water). Do not use soap or
detergent as the smell may linger. Dry thoroughly.
Setting the temperature
The temperature inside the refrigeratorand the
-star compartment is regulated by a thermostat
with 6 temperature positions and one «OFF» (O)
position.
Position 1 = minimum coldness
Position 6 = maximum coldness
Turn the thermostat dial to the required position.
An intermediate position is usually the most suitable,
although the temperature will be affected by:
l
Room temperature
How often the door is opened
l
How much food is stored
l
Position of the appliance
l
In determining the correct temperature control setting
all these factors have to be considered and some
experimentation may be necessary.

When altering the temperature setting, allow 24
hours for the temperature to stablise before making
further changes.

Important
The temperature inside the refrigerator and
-star compartment can be regulated by
adjusting the conveyor located under the
- star compartment.
To obtain a lower temperature in the -star
compartment when frozen food is stored inside
and when the ambient temperature is 25°C or
lower slightly raise the conveyor (A) and push it
all the way in. When frozen food is not stored in
the -star compartment and when the
ambient temperature is higher than 25°C return
the conveyor to its initial position. This reduces
the temperature in the refrigerator compartment.
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.
Do not cover the shelves with any protective material,
such as paper, cardboard or plastic, which may
obstruct the air circulation through them.
To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are
some more useful hints:
Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb, chicken & poultry): wrap
in polythene bags and place on the first shelf under
the -star compartment.
Meat can only be stored safely in this way for one
or two days at the most.
Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly
cleaned and placed in the bottom salad drawers.
Butter & 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.
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with runners
so that shelves can be positioned as desired.
The door shelves
To permit storage of food packages of various sizes
shelves can be adjusted in height.
To do this proceed as figure.
For more thorough cleaning, the bottle shelf can be
removed by pulling it in the direction of the arrows,
then refitting it in position.

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.
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.

The -star compartment
This compartment is suitable for the storage of
commercially frozen food and for ice cube making.
Frozen food storage
Storing ready-frozen foods is quite straightforward.
The packs can be placed beside each other or on top
of each other.
You are strongly advised to place ready-frozen food
in the compartment as quickly as possible after
purchase and we therefore recommend that you buy
them last. Also ensure that the external packaging is
intact.
Packaging which is swollen or has traces of refrozen
water droplets on the pack could indicate that the
product has not been kept at a suitable temperature
and that it may have lost its original quality.
Partially thawed food must not be refrozen, it must be
consumed within 24 hours.
Never exceed the storage times indicated.
Do not open the -star compartment door too
often and do not leave open longer than necessary.
Important
In the event of a power cut do not open the
door. The food in the -star compartment
will not be affected if the power cut is short and
if the compartment is full. Should the food
begin to thaw, it must be consumed quickly
and must not be re-frozen.
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.
