Press the Alarm mute button
(REF. 14)
on the control panel to deactivate the acoustic alarm.
Only place food in the freezer once the alarm indicator has stopped blinking.
While the appliance is working to reach the factory-set temperature, the alarm led blinks , the acoustic alarm sounds
and the set temperature blinks. This indicates that the appliance has not yet reached the optimal temperature for
storage of foodstuffs.
The led will stop flashing when the freezer compartment reaches a temperature below -12°C, the display will show
the temperature -18°C, at which point food can be loaded into the freezer compartment.
After being switched on, the refrigerator needs from 2 to 3 hours to reach the correct temperature to store a typical
volume of food in the refrigerator compartment.
Note:
The ambient air temperature, the frequency of opening the door and the position of the appliance can affect the
internal temperatures of the refrigerator. These factors should therefore be taken into account when setting the
temperature with buttons (
3
), (
4
), (
11
) and (
12
).
