3. To switch off the FROSTMATIC function, press the FROSTMATIC button
again. The yellow FROSTMATIC button will go off.
4. Wait until the temperature in the freezer compartment has reached
-18 °C before storing frozen foods.
3 Where food hygiene is concerned -18 °C should be considered suffi-
ciently cold for storing food in the freezer.
Information: The red warning indicator and temperature warning tone
will be activated:
– when the freezer is started up (if the storage temperature has not yet
been reached)
– if the temperature in the freezer compartment is too warm;
– if there is a malfunction in the appliance.
You can cancel the warning tone with the WARNING OFF button. The
warning indicator and warning tone switch off automatically when the
temperature in the freezer falls below -10°C.
Such a temperature increase is probably due to:
– frequent or extended opening of the door;
– storing large quantities of warm food;
– high ambient temperature;
– a fault in the appliance.
