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.
