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.
