Alarm
Your appliance has been fitted with a warning system, to ensure that the temperature in the freezer section does not rise unnoticed and to avoid energy being wasted if a door is left open.
Activating the alarm system
The alarm system is always active. It does not need to be switched on manually.
Temperature alarm
If the temperature in the freezer section gets too warm, an alarm will sound and the temperature display behind the door will flash. The temperature display on the outside of the appliance door will also flash alternately with §%. The set temperature determines which temperatures will trigger the alarm.
The alarm will sound and the temperature display will flash:
–if the freezer section door has been left open for some time, e.g., in order to load,
–when freezing large amounts of food at once.
–if there has been a lengthy interruption to the power supply.
Door alarm
If one of the doors is left open for more than approx. 60 seconds, the alarm will sound and the temperature display on the outside of the appliance door will flash alternately with ; (the symbol for an open door).
Switching the alarm off early
Once the set temperature has been reached in the freezer section, the alarm stops and the temperature display behind the door will stops flashing and stays lit. The display on the outside of the appliance door will now show the temperature only. However, if the noise disturbs you, you can switch the alarm off before this if you wish.
^Press the alarm off button.
The alarm will stop. The temperature display will continue to flash until the set temperature has been reached.
The display then stops flashing and stays lit. The alarm system is now ready should it be needed again.
