Setting the temperature
The temperature inside the refrigerator and 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;
the intermediate position is usually the most suitable (3-4).
The thermostat setting can vary as the temperature inside the refrigeration compartment depends on the following factors:
- room temperature
- how often the door is opened
- how much food is stored
- position of the appliance
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
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.

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
In the event of a power cut the food in the ­star compartment will not be affected if the power cut is short and if the compartment is full. Do not open the door. 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 or poultry 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.
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.
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".
Important
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 & wild fowl): 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 crisper. 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
For more thorough cleaning, the central door shelf and the bottle shelf can be removed by pushing them up slightly, then refitting them in position.
Defrosting
While in operation the -star compartment becomes progressively covered with frost. This frost, which acts as an insulator and thus prevents the cold from reaching the food should be removed whenever the thickness of the frost exceeds 1/4".
To carry out complete defrosting proceed as follows:
- Push the conveyor completely in.
- Place a tray on the upper shelf of the refrigerator under the drain hole of the conveyor.
- Remove any food from inside the -star compartment, wrap it in several sheets of newspaper and store in a cool dry place.
- Push the button at the centre of the thermostat knob. To accelerate defrosting, place a bowl of hot water inside the compartment (with a piece of cardboard underneath the bowl as protection).
- When defrosting is completed, dry thoroughly and remove the water collected in the tray. The refrigerator starts operating automatically following defrosting.
After letting the appliance run for at least half an hour, replace the previously removed food into the -star compartment. When defrosting it is not necessary to remove the foods from the inner door and the refrigerator compartment.
Important
A temperature rise of the frozen food packs during defrosting may shorten their storage life.
Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as you could damage it beyond repair.
HEALT AND SAFETY GUIDELINES
10
Because of consumer demand, preservatives have been removed from many pre-prepared food. This together with the hanges in shopping habits to a once-a-week shop, mean that safe handling and storage of food is even more important than ever.
The following tips should help you to ensure that the food in your home is in as perfect condition as possible.
n Keep the time between buying chilled food
and placing it in your fridge as short as possible. Tests showed that the temperature of 1 litre of orange juice rose to 22°C in an hour between the supermarket and home. It then took 11 hours to get down to 7°C in the refrigerator.
n Keep the refrigerator door closed as much as
possible. Remember that warm air is flowing in as you are deciding what to have for tea!
n Do not push food together too much, try to
allow air to circulate around each item.
n Cool cooked food as quickly as possible but
do NOT place in the refrigerator until cool. (Leave food in a place as cool as possible in order that it can then be placed in the refrigerator as soon as possible).
n Do NOT mix raw and cooked meat, they must
be in separate containers. Take care not to let the meat juices drip onto other food. If the meat does drip, remove everything and clean thoroughly.
n Do not store food uncovered.
n Remove suspect food from your refrigerator
and clean the interior with a solution of bicarbonate of soda in warm water (5ml to 0.5 litre of water).
n Never allow spillages to dry and harden. n Store eggs in the egg rack provided in the
refrigerator door. Discard any broken or chipped eggs.
n Regularly check the refrigerator door seal to
ensure that it is clean and free from bits and pieces.
n Always wash your hands with soapy water
and dry them with a clean towel before handling food.
n Keep work surfaces clean and avoid cross
contamination by not using the same work surface or knife, without washing them thoroughly in between.
n Use kitchen roll wherever possible for
cleaning up food. If you use a dishcloth, be sure to boil it frequently.

Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried out, DISCONNECT the appliance from the ELECTRICITY supply.
Internal cleaning
Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0.5 litre of
water). Rinse and dry thoroughly. NEVER USE DETERGENTS, ABRASIVE POWDERS, HIGHLY PERFUMED CLEANING PRODUCTS OR WAX POLISHES, TO CLEAN THE INTERIOR AS THESE WILL DAMAGE THE SURFACE AND LEA VE ASTRONG SMELL.
Clean the drain hole of the water trough at regular intervals and make sure that the drain hole is never obstructed, so that the defrost water may flow freely.
External cleaning
Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. Do NOT use abrasive products.
Once or twice a year dust the condenser (black grill) and the compressor at the back of the appliance, with a brush or vacuum cleaner, see Fig. 7.
You MUST ensure that the appliance is switched OFF. An accumulation of dust will affect the performance of the appliance and cause excessive electricity consumption.
Changing the light bulb
Should the interior light fail to work, first switch off the appliance and disconnect from the electricity supply, then replace the bulb with a new 12 watt bulb (available from your nearest Electrolux Service Centre). See fig. 8.
