Your appliance has been fitted with a
warning system which ensures that the
temperature in the freezer section
cannot rise unnoticed and to avoid
energy being wasted if a door is left
open.
Activating the alarm system
The alarm system is always active. It
does not have to be switched on
manually.
Temperature alarm
If the freezer section temperature
becomes too warm, an alarm will sound
and the freezer section temperature
display and the alarm off indicator light
will flash.
The temperature the appliance is set at
determines the temperature the
appliance recognises as being too
warm.
The alarm will sound and the
temperature display and alarm off
indicator light will flash, for example,
–
if the freezer door has been left open
for a while, e.g. in order to load, to
re-arrange or to take food out.
–
when freezing large amounts of food
at once.
–
in the event of a power cut.
–
the appliance is faulty.
If the temperature inside the
appliance is warmer than -18°C for a
longer period of time, check that the
food has not started to thaw or
defrost. If it has, check that it is still
safe to eat, and use it as quickly as
possible.
Once the set temperature has been
reached in the freezer section, the
alarm switches off and the temperature
display and the alarm off indicator will
stop flashing and light up constantly.
Door alarm
The alarm will sound if a door is left
open for more than 60 seconds.
The alarm will stop as soon as the door
is closed.
Switching the alarm off early
If the noise disturbs you, you can
switch the alarm off early if you wish.
^
Press the alarm off button.
The alarm will stop.
The temperature display and the
alarm off indicator light will continue
to flash until the set temperature has
been reached.
