Specifications

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.
Never tray to free an ice tray that is frozen to the
-star compartment using a sharp or pointed
object.
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.
The -star compartment
This compartment is suitable for the storage of
commercially frozen food and for ice cube making.
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.
Frozen food storage
Storing ready-frozen foods is quite straight forward.
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.

The door shelves
To permit storage of food packages of various sizes,
the central door shelf can be adjusted in height.
To do this proceed as in the figure.
The top shelf lid can be removed for easier cleaning.
