    HOW TO USE THE REFRIGERATOR 
    COMPARTMENT
    This is an automatic refrigerator or refrigerator with   
    star low temperature compartment. 
    Refrigerator compartment defrosting is fully 
    automatic.
    The refrigerator operates in an ambient temperature ranging 
    from +16°C to +32°C. 
    Switching on the refrigerator 
    Insert the plug in the mains socket. The thermostat allows 
    you to set the temperature inside the refrigerator 
    compartment without altering the conditions inside the low 
    temperature compartment. 
    Setting the temperature:
    1.For correct operation and excellent storage results in 
    both compartments, set the thermostat between 
    positions 2 and 3. 
    2.To set the temperature inside the compartments, turn 
    the thermostat as follows: 
    •1 - 2 for a WARMER TEMPERATURE.
    •3 - 4 for a COLDER TEMPERATURE.
    Thermostat set to 
    ● position: the appliance and lighting 
    switch off. 
    Note:
    Ambient temperature, the frequency with which the doors 
    are opened and closed and the position of the appliance can 
    affect the temperature inside the two compartments. Adjust 
    the thermostat accordingly. 
    How to store food in the refrigerator 
    compartment
    1.Store the food as shown in the adjacent illustration. 
    A Cooked food
    BFish and meat
    C Fruit and vegetables
    D Bottles
    E Eggs
    F Butter, cheese and other dairy products
    Notes:
    •Make sure the air circulates freely between the shelves 
    and the back wall of the refrigerator. 
    •Do not store food against the back wall of the 
    compartment. 
    •Store liquids in sealed containers. 
    •Vegetables with a high water content (e.g. lettuce) may 
    cause condensation to form in the bottom drawers and/
    or on the middle shelves; this does not affect the correct 
    operation of the appliance. Nevertheless, it is advisable to 
    wrap vegetables before storing.

    HOW TO USE THE LOW TEMPERATURE 
    COMPARTMENT
    HOW TO DEFROST AND CLEAN THE LOW 
    TEMPERATURE COMPARTMENT
    If installed, the   star low temperature 
    compartment may be used to store frozen products for 
    the time indicated on the packaging. 
    When purchasing deep-frozen foods, check the 
    following: 
    •That the packaging is intact, since the food may have 
    deteriorated. If the package bulges or is marked by damp 
    patches, the product has not been correctly stored and 
    may have partially thawed. 
    •Purchase deep-frozen foods last and use insulated bags for 
    transportation. 
    •Place items in the low temperature compartment as soon 
    as you get home. 
    •Consume partially thawed food within 24 hrs. 
    •Avoid temperature variations as much as possible. Observe 
    the “best before” date on the packaging. 
    •Observe the instructions for preserving deepfrozen foods 
    written on the packaging. 
    How to make ice-cubes 
    •Fill the ice-tray 3/4 full of water and place it in the bottom 
    of the low temperature compartment. 
    If the ice-tray sticks to the bottom, do not use pointed 
    or sharp instruments to detach it. 
    To maximise performance, defrost the low 
    temperature compartment at least twice a year, or 
    when the layer of ice on the walls reaches 3 mm 
    thickness. 
    Defrost the compartment when the contents are low. 
    1.Open the door and take out all food items, wrapping 
    them in newspaper and placing them together in a cool 
    place or in an insulated bag. 
    2.Unplug the appliance from the mains. 
    3.Leave the door open to allow the frost/ice on the 
    compartment walls to melt. 
    4.Remove the defrost water with a sponge. 
    5.Clean with a sponge soaked in a solution of lukewarm 
    water and neutral detergent. Do not use abrasive 
    substances. 
    6.Rinse and dry thoroughly. 
    Note: to avoid causing irreparable damage, do not 
    use pointed or sharp metal instruments to scrape 
    off ice and do not artificially heat the low 
    temperature compartment.

    HOW TO CLEAN THE REFRIGERATOR 
    COMPARTMENT
    CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
    ENERGY SAVING TIPS
    •Do not expose the appliance to heat sources, 
    direct sunlight, etc., since this will increase 
    energy consumption. 
    •Do not cover the vents or air outlets. 
    •When thawing food items, place them in the 
    refrigerator compartment to make use of the low 
    temperature. •Keep the door open as little as possible. 
    •Do not put food in the refrigerator when still hot. 
    •Do not leave the low temperature compartment 
    door open. 
    Clean the refrigerator compartment regularly. 
    Refrigerator compartment defrosting is fully 
    automatic. 
    The formation of water droplets on the rear internal wall of 
    the refrigerator compartment indicates that the automatic 
    defrosting is underway. Defrost water is channelled to a run-
    off and collected in a container, where it evaporates. Clean 
    the run-off channel regularly, using the supplied instrument, in 
    order to guarantee a continuous outflow of defrost water. 
    Before cleaning, unplug the appliance from the mains. 
    •Use a sponge soaked in lukewarm water and/or neutral 
    detergent. 
    •Rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive 
    materials. 
    •Clean the air vents regularly with a vacuum cleaner or a 
    brush. 
    •Clean the exterior with a soft cloth. 
    Prolonged disuse 
    1.Empty the refrigerator and low temperature 
    compartments. 
    2.Unplug the appliance from the mains. 
    3.Defrost the low temperature compartment, clean and 
    dry both compartments. 
    4.Leave the doors open to prevent the formation 
    unpleasant odours.
