IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
3
These warnings are provided in the interests of your safety. Ensure that you understand them all before
installing or using this appliance as your safety is of paramount importance.
Prior to Installation
■ Check the appliance for transport damage. Under
no circumstance should a damaged appliance be
installed. In the event of damage please contact
your retailer.
Installation
■ This appliance is heavy. Care should be taken
when moving it.
■ It is dangerous to alter the specifications or
attempt to modify this product in any way.
■ Ensure that the appliance does not stand on the
electrical supply cable.
Important: If the supply cable is damaged, it must
be replaced by a cable available from your local
Service Force Centre.
■ Any electrical work required to install this
appliance should be carried out by a qualified
electrician or competent person.
■ Parts which heat up should not be exposed.
Whenever possible, the back of the appliance
should be close to a wall, but leaving the required
distance for ventilation, as stated in the installation
instructions.
■ The appliance should be left for 2 hours after
installation before it is turned on, in order to allow
the refrigerant to settle.
Refrigerant
■ The refrigerant isobutane (R600a) is contained
within the refrigerant circuit of the appliance, a
natural gas with a high level of environmental
compatibly, which is nevertheless flammable.
■ During transportation and installation of the
appliance, be certain that none of the components
of the refrigerant circuit become damaged.
■ If the refrigerant circuit should become damaged:
- avoid open flames and sources of ignition.
- thoroughly ventilate the room in which the appliance is situated.
Child Safety
■ Do not allow children to tamper with the controls or
play with the product.
■ There is a risk of suffocation! Keep packaging
material away from children!
General Safety
■ This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its
cooling unit; maintenance and recharging
must therefore only be carried out by
authorised technicians.
■ Take utmost care when handling your
appliance so as not to cause any damages to
the cooling unit with consequent possible
fluid leakages.
■ The appliance must not be located close to
radiators or boilers.
■ Avoid prolonged exposure of the appliance to
direct sunlight.
■ Do not use other electrical appliances (such
as ice cream makers) inside of refrigerating
appliances.
During Use
■ This appliance is designed for domestic use only,
specifically for the storage of edible foodstuffs
only. It is not intended for commercial or industrial
use.
■ Containers with flammable gases or liquids can
leak at low temperatures. Do not store any
containers with flammable materials, such as
spray cans, fire extinguisher refill cartridges etc. in
the refrigerator.
■ Frozen food should not be refrozen once it has
thawed out.
■ Do not place carbonated or fizzy drinks in the
freezer compartment.
■ Ice lollies can cause ‘frost/freezer burns’ if
consumed straight from the star compartement.
■ Do not remove items from the freezer
compartement if your hands are damp/wet, as this
could cause skin abrasions or frost/freezer burns.
■ Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer
compartment they can burst when the contents
freeze.
■ Manufacturers’ recommended storage times
should be adhered to. Refer to relevant
instructions.
Maintenance and Cleaning
■ Before cleaning, always switch off the appliance
and disconnect from the electrical supply.
■ When unplugging always pull the plug from the
mains socket, do not pull on the cable.

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 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.
An intermediate position is usually the most suitable,
although the temperature will be affected by:
l
Room temperature
l
How often the door is opened
l
How much food is stored
l
Position of the appliance
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.
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.
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.
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.
