Warning light
Warning light (F) lights up when the temperature inside
the freezer compartment has increased to a value
which jeopardizes the long-term storage of food in the
compartment.
When the appliance is switched on for the first time or
when food is placed in the compartment for freezing,
it is normal for this light to remain on until the temper-
ature has reached the level required for correct
storage.
Audible alarm
This appliance incorporates an alarm switch which
gives off an audible signal when the temperature in-
side the freezer has risen to a point where safe stor-
age of frozen food is no longer ensured.
It is normal for this alarm to sound when the appliance
is first started up until the temperature inside the
appliance has reached a value which ensures safe
storage of food.
To stop the alarm signal, press the button.
