Operation  
Before use  
Frozen food storage  
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 deter-  
gent as the smell may linger. Dry thoroughly.  
Storing ready-frozen foods is quite straightfor-  
ward. 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 indi-  
cate that the product has not been kept at a suit-  
able temperature and that it may have lost its  
original quality.  
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) posi-  
tion.  
Partially thawed food must not be refrozen, it  
must be consumed within 24 hours.  
Never exceed the storage times indicated.  
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:  
Do not open the  
-star compartment door  
too often and do not leave open longer than nec-  
essary.  
Important  
- room temperature  
In the event of a power cut the food in  
- how often the door is opened  
- how much food is stored  
- position of the appliance  
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.  
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.  
D182  
The  
-star compartment  
This compartment is suitable for the storage of com-  
mercially frozen food and for ice cube making.

Thawing  
Fresh food refrigeration  
Food can be thawed in a number of ways, depend-  
ing on the type of food and the size of the packs.  
Meat, fish and fruit should be thawed in the refriger-  
ation 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 place-  
ment of aluminium wrapping in the oven.  
To obtain the best performance, do not store  
warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigera-  
tor; 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.  
Making ice cubes  
Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly  
cleaned and placed in the bottom salad crisper.  
Butter & cheese: these should be placed in spe-  
cial airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium  
foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as  
possible.  
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.  
Milk bottles: these should have a cap and should  
be stored in the bottle rack on the door.  
Important  
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with  
runners so that shelves can be positioned as  
desired.  
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 and the cooling evaporator.  
D040  
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.

Health and Safety Guidelines  
Because of consumer demand, preservatives have been removed from many pre-prepared foods. This  
together with the changes 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.  
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 super-  
market and home. It then took 11 hours to get  
down to 7°C in the refrigerator.  
Never allow spillages to dry and harden.  
Store eggs in the egg rack provided in the  
refrigerator door. Discard any broken or  
chipped eggs.  
Regularly check the refrigerator door seal to  
ensure that it is clean and free from debris.  
Keep the refrigerator door closed as much as pos-  
sible.  
Always wash your hands with soapy water and  
dry them with a clean towel before handling  
food.  
Do not push food together too much, try to allow  
air to circulate around each item.  
Keep work surfaces clean and avoid cross  
contamination by not using the same work sur-  
face or knife, without washing them thoroughly  
in between.  
Cool cooked food as quickly as possible but do  
NOT place in the refrigerator until cool. (Leave  
food in a cool place in order that it can then be  
placed in the refrigerator as soon as possible).  
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.  
Do not store food uncovered.  
Remove suspect food from your refrigerator and  
clean (Refer to “Maintenance and cleaning”).

Defrosting  
While in operation the  
-star compartment  
becomes progressively covered with frost.  
This frost, which acts as an insulator and thus pre-  
vents 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:  
1. Push the conveyor completely in.  
2. Place a tray on the upper shelf of the refrigerator  
under the drain hole of the conveyor.  
3. Remove any food from inside the  
-star com-  
partment, wrap it in several sheets of newspaper  
and store in a cool dry place.  
4. 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).  
5. When defrosting is completed, dry thoroughly and  
remove the water collected in the tray.  
The refrigerator starts operating automatically fol-  
lowing 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 com-  
partment.  
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 dam  
age it beyond repair.

Maintenance and Cleaning  
Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried  
out, DISCONNECT the appliance from the ELEC-  
TRICITY supply.  
When the appliance is not in use  
When the appliance is not in use for long periods,  
disconnect from the electricity supply, empty all  
foods and clean the appliance, leaving the door ajar  
to prevent unpleasant smells.  
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 POW-  
DERS, HIGHLY PERFUMED CLEANING PROD-  
UCTS OR WAX POLISHES, TO CLEAN THE INTE-  
RIOR AS THESE WILL DAMAGE THE SURFACE  
AND LEAVE A STRONG SMELL.  
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 figure.  
CONDENSER  
You MUST ensure that the appliance is switched  
OFF. An accumulation of dust will affect the perfor-  
mance of the appliance and cause excessive elec-  
tricity consumption.

Positioning  
For this appliance to work efficiently, it should be  
located away from heat sources, e.g. cookers, radia-  
tors, boilers, direct sunlight etc. This also includes  
locations or rooms where the ambient temperature  
reaches above 32 degrees C or drops below 10  
degrees (e.g. conservatories).  
You should also ensure that air can circulate freely  
around the back and the top of the cabinet. There  
must also be a minimum distance beween the top of  
the cabinet and any overhanging kitchen furniture as  
shown in the figure.  
Do not obstruct the space underneath. The back of  
the cabinet may be placed close to the wall but must  
not touch it. DO NOT install in places with restricted  
ventilation.

Door reversal  
Before carrying out the operations described below,  
pull out the mains plug from the wall socket.  
To carry out this reversal go through the following  
steps:  
1. Gently lay the appliance on its back with the top  
held away from the floor by 5-8 cm (2-3 inches) of  
packing.  
2. Remove the bottom door hinge (5).  
3. Remove the door (4) by opening it and pulling it  
gently downwards to remove it from the top hinge  
pin (2).  
4. Unscrew the top hinge pin (2) from the top hinge  
(1) and replace it in the opposite hole on the left  
hand side.  
5. Unscrew the foot at the base (6) of the appliance  
and refit it on the opposite side.  
6. Refit the door and the bottom hinge to the left hand  
side.  
When the bottom hinge is screwed in, a certain  
amount of force is exerted on the screws.  
It is therefore advisable to lubricate the screw tips  
before starting this operation.  
Important  
After completion of the door reversal opera-  
tion, verify that the door gasket is sealing  
onto the cabinet.  
If the ambient temperature is cold (i.e. in  
Winter), the gasket may not fit perfectly to the  
cabinet. In that case, wait for the natural fit-  
ting of the gasket or accelerate this process  
by heating up the part involved with a normal  
hairdrier on a low setting.
