HOW TO USE 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 deep-
frozen 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.
HOW TO DEFROST AND CLEAN THE LOW TEMPERATURE COMPARTMENT
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.
