Freezer compartment alarms

Freezer compartment temperature alarm

When the appliance is working or during the freezing phase, the red warning light (10) may come on in conjunction with an acoustic signal, indicating that the freezer compartment temperature is not optimum for food storage.

This can occur in the following cases:

•during start-up;

•when the appliance is switched on again after defrosting and cleaning;

•when too much food is placed in the freezer;

•when the freezer door does not close properly

To deactivate the acoustic signal press the button (11). The red light (10) will automatically go off when optimum temperature conditions are reached.

Power failure alarm

If a temperature value flashes in the freezer display (4), the light (14) flashes, the acoustic signal sounds and the temperature adjustment keys are locked, it means that a power failure has occurred for a period long enough not to guarantee maintenance of the correct storage temperature.

The value shown on the display gives the highest temperature reached by the freezer compartment. To eliminate the alarm and restore control panel operation, press the "Acoustic Alarm" button

(11)and check the food, because the compartment temperature has risen above -9°C (temperature limit for correct food preservation).

Note:

The freezer compartment can maintain a suitable temperature for preserving food even in case of a power failure. In any case, it is advisable to avoid opening the compartment door during such periods.
