Holiday function

The freezer temperature must be set to the minimum value in order to preserve the food.

To enable the function: set the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob on HOLIDAY (see diagram).

A double acoustic signal informs you when it has been enabled. A single acoustic signal informs you when it has been disabled.
