The te perature inside the refrigerator and the 2-star
co part ent can be regulated further by adjusting
the tray located under the 2-star co part ent.
To obtain a lower te perature in the 2-star
co part ent when frozen food is stored inside and
when the a bient te perature is 25 °C or lower push
the tray in Position 2. When frozen food is not stored
in the 2-star co part ent and when the a bient
te perature is higher than 25 °C pull the tray out to
Position 1.
If frozen food is stored in the 2-star co part ent and
the a bient te perature is above 25 °C, pull the tray
out to position 1 and turn the ther ostat control to a

cabinet are not obstructed.
Always leave war food to cool down to roo
te perature before placing in the fridge.

with a duster or vacuu cleaner.
Maint
Maintenance & Cleaning enance & Cleaning
Before any maintenance of cleaning work is
carried out DISCONNECT the appliance from
the ELECTRICITY SUPPLY.
Internal Cleaning
Clean the inside and accessories with war water and
bicarbonate of soda (5 l to 0.5 litre of water). Rinse
and dry thoroughly.

External Cleaning
Wash the outer cabinet with war soapy water.
Once or twice a year dust the condenser (black
grille) and the co pressor at the back of the
appliance with a brush or vacuu cleaner, as an
accu ulation of dust will affect the perfor ance of
the appliance and cause excessive electricity
consu ption.

Defrosting
While in operation the **-star co part ent beco es
progressively covered with frost.
This frost, which acts as an insulator and thus prevents
the cold fro reaching the food should be re oved
whenever the thickness of the frost exceeds 1/4.
To carry out co plete defrosting proceed as follows:
1. Push the conveyor co pletely in.
2. Place a tray on the upper shelf of the refrigerator
under the drain hole of the conveyor.
3. Re ove any food fro inside the **-star
co part ent, wrap it in several sheets of
newspaper and store in a cool dry place.
4. Turn the ther ostat knob on position << 0 >>. To
accelerate defrosting, place a bow of hot water
inside the co part ent (with a piece of cardboard
underneath the bowl as protection).
5. When defrosting is co pleted, dry thoroughly and
re ove the water collected in the tray.
Turn the ther ostat knob on a ediu position to
restart the appliance.
After letting the appliance run for at least half an
hour replace the previously re oved food into the
** -star co part ent.
When defrosting it is not necessary to re ove the
foods fro the inner door and the refrigerator
co part ent.
Important
A te perature rise of the frozen food packs during
defrosting ay shorten their storage life.
Never use sharp etal tools to scrape off frost fro
the evaporator as youcould da age it beyond
repair.
Changing the Light Bulb
