u Press alarm button Fig. 3 (8). w The door alarm is silenced.
5.2 Temperature alarm
The audible alarm sounds if the freezer temperature is not cold enough.
The alarm button flashes at the same time.
The cause of the temperature being too high may be:
-warm fresh food was placed inside
-too much warm ambient air flowed in when rearranging and removing food
-power failure for some time
-the appliance is faulty
The audible alarm is automatically silenced, the alarm button Fig. 3 (8) goes out and the temperature display stops flashing when the temperature is sufficiently cold again.
If the alarm status persists: (see Malfunction).

u Press alarm button Fig. 3 (8). w The audible alarm is silenced.
5.3 Refrigerator compartment
The natural circulation of air in the refrigerator compartment results in zones differing in temperature. It is coldest directly above the vegetable drawers and at the rear wall. It is warmest at the top front of the compartment and in the door.
5.3.1 Food refrigeration
Note
The energy consumption increases and the cooling perform- ance decreases if the ventilation is inadequate.
u Always keep the air slits of the fan free.
u Store perishable food such as
u Use recyclable plastic, metal, aluminium and glass containers and cling film for wrapping.
uUse the front area of the refrigerator compartment floor only for briefly putting down cooled products, e.g. when rear- ranging and sorting. However do not leave cooled products there otherwise they may be pushed back or tipped over when the door is closed.
uDo not store food too close together to enable good air circulation.
uTo safeguard bottles from tipping over: move the bottle holder.
5.3.2 Setting the temperature
The temperature depends on the following factors:
-the door opening frequency
-the room temperature at the site where the appliance is installed
-the type, temperature and quantity of frozen food
Temperature setting to be recommended: 5 °C
The temperature can be changed continuously. Once the 1 °C setting is reached, it starts again with 9 °C.
u To access temperature adjustment: press the setting button, refrigerator compartment Fig. 3 (3) once.
w The LED of the current temperature flashes in the tempera- ture display.
u Press the setting button, refrigerator compartment Fig. 3 (3) the number of times needed until the required temperature shines in the LED display.
Note
u Long pressing of the setting button sets a slightly colder value within a small temperature range (e.g.: between 5 °C and 7 °C). The LED of the next lower temperature range then shines in the temperature display.
5.3.3 Fan
With the fan you can rapidly cool large quantities of fresh food or achieve a relatively even distribution of temperature across all the storage levels.
