compartment, and optimizes food storage conditions

Press button (1b) to turn the fan on when the ambient temperature is above

27/ 28°C, when condensation occurs on the shelves, or in the instances of high

air humidity.

Do not obstruct the air intake area (1a) with food items.

The fan ONLY runs if the compressor is working.

Make sure to turn the fan off in lower ambient temperatures.

While the fan is ON, you have the option to fit in the Hygiene+ filter which

“Black-out” Alarm (power supply failure) - in case of power failure, the

appliance automatically monitors the temperature changes in the freezer

compartment. After the power supply returns,- the “Black-out” alarm will

activate, if the temperature has risen above the admissible level. This is

indicated by:

- Flashing of the green indicator lamps (4, 5, 6).

- Activation of a beep.

When the “Black-out” alarm is active, it is recommended to proceed as

follows:

- If the food in the freezer is not frozen but is still cold, transfer it promptly to

the refrigerator compartment and consume within 24 hours.

- If the food in the freezer is frozen, it has re-frozen after thawing caused by

the power failure. The consumption of re-frozen food is not recommended

because it has lost its nutritive value and may be hazardous to your health.

safety in case of consumption. It only indicates the necessity to assess the

quality of food in the freezer and refrigerator compartments. To deactivate the

alarm, press and hold “Temperature setting” pushbutton & party mode

button and keep pressed until the indicator light goes off.

- The temperature will return to the normal operating cycle level and the

beep will stop.

alarm codes are explained in the table below).

After the (“reset alarm”)button is released, the indicator lamps will flash until the fault is eliminated. If any alarm shown in the table occurs, the fridge/freezer
