Red Alarm Indicator Light
Under normal operating conditions, the in-
ternal temperature of the freezer will ensure
the long-term conservation of the stored
food.
When such temperature rises above a cer-
tain level (-12 °C), the appliance will trigger
an acoustic and light alarm. The light alarm
is a blink red light (Red Alarm Indicator
Light), while the acoustic alarm is an inter-
mittent sound.
You can stop the acoustic alarm by press-
ing the Acoustic Signal Stop Switch once.
When switching on the freezer for the
first time, the Red Alarm Indicator Light
will blink until the internal temperature
has reached a level required for the
safe conservation of frozen food.

If the Fast Freeze Switch is accidentally
left on, the fast-freeze function will be
