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; 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

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 the food in the

-star compartment will not be affected
if the power cut is short and if the compart
ment 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
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 abra
sions 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 & wild fowl): wrap in
polythene bags and place on top of the salad drawer.

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.
