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 light (14) flashes, the acoustic signal sounds and
the temperature adjustment keys are locked, it means that a power failure has occurred for a period long
enough not to guarantee maintenance 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.
Removing the baskets
Pull the drawers out as far as they go, then lift slightly and remove.
Note:
The freezer can also be used without drawers, in order to obtain a larger space. Arrange food on the
racks.
After introducing the food make sure the freezer compartment door closes properly.
Making ice cubes
• Fill the ice cube tray up to 2/3 with water and place in the freezer compartment.
• Do not use sharp or pointed objects to detach the tray if it is stuck to the bottom of the freezer grill or
drawers.
• Bend the ice tray slightly to facilitate removal of the cubes.
