Alarm light, Acoustic alarm, Storing frozen foods

Instructions for the User

6.3.1 SUPER function

This function provides rapid freezing and must be activated at least 4 hours before the food is placed in the freezer compartment.

To start this function press the button for at least 2 seconds as described in point “5. DESCRIPTION OF CONTROL PANEL”.

The yellow light

turns on to indicate that the function has been activated.

When this function is set the refrigeration system operates continuously and allows rapid freezing of large amounts of fresh foods. Small amounts of fresh foods (up to about 2 kg) can be frozen even without activating the rapid freezing function.

To avoid wasting electricity, do not keep this function activated for a long time. The rapid freezing switch should be turned on the first time the freezer is turned on, and whenever it is turned on after a period out of use, to lower the temperature in the relative compartment more quickly. Do not place fresh or frozen foods into the freezer compartment before the alarm light (“6.4 Alarm light”) switches off.

The rapid freezing function stays on for around 27 hours, but it can be turned off at any time by holding down button for at least a second, until the light turns off.

6.4 Alarm light

The indicator light shown in point “5. DESCRIPTION OF CONTROL PANEL” turns on when the temperature inside the refrigeration cell is too high.

The alarm status can also be due to the following causes:

-the appliance is connected for the first time or after a long power failure, and it stays on until the freezer compartment has reached a suitable temperature;

-the freezer compartment door has been left open for too long, thus losing the cold inside it;

-too much food has been placed in the freezer compartment (see nameplate for maximum food quantity);

-the temperature set in the freezer compartment is not suitable for the amount of food placed in it;

-there is an operating fault.

6.5 Acoustic alarm

When the indicator light comes on, the acoustic alarm will be activated as well. To stop the acoustic

alarm, press briefly button . If after two hours the alarm is not reset, the acoustic alarm is once again activated.

If the acoustic alarm is activated three times in a row, consult chapter “8. Troubleshooting Guide”.

6.5.1 Acoustic alarm “doors not closed”

The acoustic alarm is activated when one of the doors or both doors failed to close for more than 3 minutes.

To deactivate the acoustic alarm press briefly button or close the doors.

6.6 Storing frozen foods

When purchasing frozen foods, always take care that the pack is not damaged, that the product is not past its sell-by date and that the thermometer of the freezer in which the products are displayed for sale does not show a temperature above -18°C. Also note the temperature advice, storage period and modes of consumption stated by the producer. Purchased foods should also be protected using suitable insulated containers during transportation to eliminate the risk of thawing. An increase in temperature might reduce their storage life and adversely affect their quality.

Do not purchase frozen foods which have too much frost on them: they may have already been thawed and refrozen.
