The plug has not been inserted into the electrical socket, or not far enough to make contact, or there is no power in the house.

The outside ambient temperature is very high.

Door open alarm

The internal refrigerant makes a slight noise even when the compressor is off. This is not a defect, it is normal.

The water discharge hole is blocked (see Maintenance).

Should the refrigerator door be left open for more than two minutes, the lamp inside the compartment will begin to flash; after a few seconds, an alarm buzzer is sounded. To silence this buzzer, just shut the door or press the SELECT button. Should the door remain open for more than 4 minutes, the lamp will flash more rapidly.

Abnormal freezer heating alarm

a) To signal an excessive heating on the part of the freezer (e.g. momentary

 

power failure), a buzzer will sound and a message comes up on the

 

display “A1” to signal the dangerous heating of the compartment. To

 

prevent food from refreezing, the freezer will try to maintain a temperature

 

of 0°C, thus allowing you to use up the food within 24 hours or to cook

 

them and then refreeze them. You can turn the buzzer off simply by

 

pressing the SELECT button.

To return to normal operation and cancel the message from the display, you need to turn the appliance off and on again, turning the appliance FREEZER OPERATION and APPLIANCE ON/OFF Knob.

b)If the temperature inside the freezer continues to rise to excessively high values, the buzzer will sound yet again and another message “A2” will

come up on the display to signal the dangerous state of overheating. We recommend you check the conditions of the food, as it may be necessary to throw it away. In all cases, food should not be refrozen unless you cook it first. To prevent food from refreezing, the freezer will try to maintain a

temperature of 0°C. The buzzer can be turned off by simply pressing the SELECT button. To return to normal operation and cancel the message

from the display, you need to turn the appliance off and on again, turning the appliance FREEZER OPERATION and APPLIANCE ON/OFF Knob.
