OPERATION
Before use
When altering the temperature setting, allow 24 hours
for the temperature to stablise before making further
changes.
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.
An intermediate position is usually the most suitable,
although the temperature will be affected by:
l
Room temperature
l How often the door is opened
l How much food is stored
l Position of the appliance
In determining the correct temperature control setting
all these factors have to be considered and some
experimentation may be necessary.

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
A
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
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, chicken or poultry): 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.
Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly
cleaned and placed in the bottom salad drawer.
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.

The
-star compartment
This compartment is suitable for the storage of
commercially frozen food and for ice cube making.

Frozen food storage
Making ice cubes
Storing ready-frozen foods is quite straightforward.
The packs can be placed beside each other or on top
of each other.
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
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.
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 abrasions or
"frost/freezer burns".
Never exceed the storage times indicated.
Do not open the
often and do not leave open longer than necessary.
-star compartment door too
Normal Operating Sounds
Important
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.
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.
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.
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.

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
supermarket and home. It then took 11 hours to
get down to 7°C in the refrigerator.
Remove suspect food from your refrigerator and
clean (Refer to “Maintenance and cleaning”).
■
■
Never allow spillages to dry and harden.
Store eggs in the egg rack provided in the
refrigerator door. Discard any broken or chipped
eggs.
■
■
■
Keep the refrigerator door closed as much as
possible.
■
■
■
Regularly check the refrigerator door seal to
ensure that it is clean and free from debris.
Do not push food together too much, try to allow
air to circulate around each item.
Always wash your hands with soapy water and
dry them with a clean towel before handling food.
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).
Keep work surfaces clean and avoid cross
contamination by not using the same work
surface or knife, without washing them thoroughly
in between.
■
■
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.
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
compartment.
While in operation the
-star compartment
becomes progressively covered with frost.
This frost, which acts as an insulator and thus
prevents the cold from reaching the food should be
removed whenever the thickness of the frost exceeds
1/4".
Important
To carry out complete defrosting proceed as follows:
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 damage it
beyond repair.
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
compartment, 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
following defrosting.

INSTALLATION
Positioning
For this appliance to work efficiently, it must not be
located where the temperatures will fall below 16°C
(61°F) or rise above 32°C (90°F), e.g. conservatories.
For correct operation this appliance must be located in
a dry atmosphere, away from heat sources, e.g.
cookers, radiators, boilers and direct sunlight.
You should also ensure that air can circulate freely
around the back and the top of the cabinet. There
should be 100mm (4”) between the top of the cabinet
and any overhanging kitchen furniture. Alternatively
allow 50mm (2”) between the top of the cabinet and
any overhanging kitchen furniture and a gap of 25mm
(1”) on either side of the appliance.

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 positioning the bottom hinge blade on the
reverse side, the securing screws will require a
degree of force when fitting.
It is therefore advisable to lubricate the screw tips
before starting this operation.
Important
After completion of the door reversal operation,
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 fitting
of the gasket or accelerate this process by
heating up the part involved with a normal
hairdryer on a low setting.
