FREEZER TEMPERATURE ALARM
If the alarm sounds for no apparent
reason, check whether anything is
keeping the door open. If the freezer
becomes too warm due to the freezer door being left open
or warm food being placed too close to the temperature
sensor, a buzzer will sound.
The icon adjacent to the alarm reset button, the freezer set
temperature and bar graph will all fl ash, until the alarm
reset button is pressed. Once pressed, the alarm disable
icon adjacent to the alarm button will illuminate for 50
minutes, or until the temperature drops to an acceptable
level.
Make sure nothing is holding the freezer door open and
move any warm food away from the temperature sensor. If
the freezer is still too warm after 50 minutes, the alarm will
sound again, indicating that something may be wrong with
the refrigerator.
NOTE:
The freezer temperature alarm can be reset for 12 hours by
pressing the alarm reset button continuously for 10 seconds.
DOOR ALARM
If the fridge door is left open for more
than two minutes, the alarm will buzz and
an arrow pointing to an open door will fl ash, along with the
temperature setting and bar graph.
If you want to leave the door open while you load the
refrigerator, you can turn the alarm off for 8 minutes by
pressing the alarm reset button.
CHILD LOCK
Press and hold the freezer
and fridge buttons
together to activate
the child lock. This will
disable the display to
prevent accidental changes to settings.
To turn the child lock off , press and hold
the freezer and fridge buttons together.
DRINKS CHILL TIMER
The drinks chill timer is used to quickly
chill a bottle. Place the bottle in the
freezer and the timer can be set for a
minimum of 5 minutes to a maximum of 30 minutes. To
set, simply press the drinks chill button repeatedly for the
number of minutes (in 5-minute intervals). Once set, an
animated icon appears beside the drinks chill button, with
a timer that counts down one minute at a time.
You can change the time or turn the timer off even after the
countdown has started. A buzzer will tell you when the time
is fi nished and the icon will fl ash until the alarm reset button
is pressed.

CONTROLLING THE TEMPERATURE
When you fi rst turn your refrigerator on, we recommend
you set the temperature for the refrigerator to 3°C
and -18°C for the freezer. If you want to change the
temperature, follow the instructions below. Make only
small adjustments and wait 24 hours to see if it’s correct.
Checking the softness of ice cream is a good indication if
your freezer is the right temperature, while checking the
temperature of water kept in the refrigerator is a good way
of checking the temperature of the food compartment.
NOTE:
When you set a temperature, you set an average
temperature for the whole refrigerator cabinet. Temperatures
inside each compartment may vary, depending on how
much food you store and where you place it. High or low
room temperature may also aff ect the actual temperature
inside the refrigerator.
CHANGING THE FREEZER TEMPERATURE
Press the freezer button to make the
freezer colder in 1°C steps. Once the
maximum of -23°C is reached, the display
will return to -14°C with the next press of the button. The
bar graph gets smaller with colder freezer settings.
CHANGING THE REFRIGERATOR
TEMPERATURE
Press the fridge button to make the
refrigerator colder in 1°C steps. Once
0°C is reached, the display will return to 7°C with the
next button press. The bar graph gets smaller with colder
refrigerator settings.
QUICK FREEZE FUNCTION
Use the quick freeze function when you
add a large amount of food to the freezer
compartment. This freezes the food quickly but does not
aff ect the temperature in the refrigerator compartment.
To use this function, press the quick freeze button once. An
animated icon will light up. The quick freeze function will
now operate for 90 minutes. If you want to turn the quick
freeze function off before 90 minutes have passed, simply
press the quick freeze button again. The icon will disappear
and the freezer will return to normal operation.
