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 in

conjunction with an acoustic signal, indicating that the freezer compartment temperature is not optimum

for food storage.

This can occur in the following cases:

• during start-up;

• 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 properly.

To deactivate the acoustic signal, press the button (11). The red light (10) will automatically go off when

optimum temperature conditions are reached.

Power failure alarm

If a temperature value flashes in the freezer display (4), the acoustic signal sounds and the temperature

adjustment keys are locked. This means that a power failure has occurred for a period long enough not to

guarantee maintainence of the correct storage temperature.

The value shown on the display gives the highest temperature reached by the freezer compartment.

To eliminate the alarm and restore control panel operation, press the

Acoustic Alarm button (11) and check the food, because the compartment temperature has risen above -9

°C (temperature limit for correct food preservation).

Note:

The freezer compartment can maintain a suitable temperature for preserving food,

even in case of a power failure. In any case, it is advisable to avoid opening the compartment

door during such periods.

Important:

For frozen fresh food storage times, comply with the table

opposite.

When purchasing frozen food products:

• Make sure the packaging is not damaged, since the food

can deteriorate. If the package is swollen or has damp

patches, it has not been stored in optimum conditions and

may have begun to thaw.

• Purchase frozen food last and use thermal bags to carry it.

• Place frozen foods in the freezer compartment as soon as

you get home.

• Do not refreeze partially thawed food; consume it within

24 hours.

• Avoid, or reduce temperature variations to the minimum.

Respect the expiry date given on the package.

• Always follow the instructions given on the package for

storing frozen foods.
