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 required thermostat setting can be varied 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. 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 compartment is full. Do not open the
door. Should the food begin to thaw, it
must be consumed quickly and must not
be refrozen.
