B. If the high temperature alarm occurs to the freezer: 
When the freezer temperature has fallen to below the warning temperature –6°C and 
temperature in other compartments has also been below the warning temperature 
respectively, the “high temperature” sign keeps on flashing if no button has been pressed 
since the begining of the alarm. If any button is pressed at that moment, the highest 
temperature in the freezer will be on display for 5 seconds and the display will resume 
normal 5 seconds later.   
If the freezer temperature has fallen to its lowest but still above the warning temperature 
–6°C, the highest temperature in the freezer will be on display for 5 seconds as well if 
any button is pressed. And the display resumes normal 5 seconds later. Besides, when the 
temperature in each compartment is below the warning temperature respectively, the 
“high temperature” sign will automatically stop flashing. 

 
 

Possible warning: 
When the appliance is switched on for the first time, it is not malfunction if the high 
temperature alarm starts. 
Check the temperature display of the three compartments respectively. If the temperature 
is still above the warning temperature respectively after running for at least 5 hours, it 
could be problem with the refrigeration system or the electronic control board. Please 
check. (from Item 12 on)   
If a lot of hot food has been put into the appliance, the temperature is likely to rise to the 
upper limit and activate the warning, which is normal and is not malfunction.   
Food is normally to be at least cooled down to the ambient temperature before being put 
into the appliance. If the “Fast freezing” function is activated when food of ambient 
temperature is put into the appliance, it lessens the risk of high temperature warning 
(refer to User Manual for more info).     
If the door(s) is(are) not properly opened and closed, it results in alarm. If the light is on 
when the door is open and off when the door is close, the door works normally.   
Do the following checks within 20 minutes when the power supply is on:   
If the light never turns off, there might be problem with the magnet, i.e., no magnet has 
been installed in the fridge door or in the wine compartment door. Or, it could be problem 
with the magnetic switch. 
Do the following checks 20 minutes after the power supply is on: 
If the lamp in the fridge or in the wine compartment does not light up, the cause could be 
either of the above two. Because if such case occurs, the lamp will be switched off by the 
electronic control board after it was on continuously for 20 minutes (safety protection 
function).
