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 at the same as an acoustic signal indicating that the freezer compartment temperature is not optimum for preserving food.
This can occur in the following cases:
•after switching on the appliance;
•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 perfectly.
To deactivate the acoustic signal press button (11).
The red light (10) will automatically go off when optimum temperature conditions are reached.
Power failure alarm
If a blinking temperature value appears on the freezer display (4), the acoustic signal is active and the temperature adjustment buttons are locked, this means a power failure has occurred for a period long enough not to guarantee maintaining of the correct preservation temperature.
The value shown on the display gives the highest temperature reached by the freezer compartment. To disable the alarm and unlock the temperature adjustment buttons, press the Acoustic Alarm button (11) and check the state of the food because the internal temperature has risen above
Note:
The freezer compartment can maintain the appropriate temperature for preserving food, even in case of a power failure. However, it is advisable to avoid opening the compartment door during such periods.
