Indicator Lights

Green Mains Light
The green mains light will stay on as long as the electricity supply is not interrupted.

Amber Fast Freeze Light
The amber fast freeze light indicates that the fast freeze button has been pressed on.
By pressing this button ON, the freezer motor will run continuously for extra cooling.

Red High Temperature Warning Light
The red warning light will come on when the freezer is first switched on or when the
temperature inside the compartment rises above the correct storage temperature.
Check the TROUBLESHOOTING section before calling for advice. The red warning
light may come on for a short period when opening the freezer door to load or
unload food, in this case storage times will not be affected.
If the red warning light comes on during the fast freeze period (amber light on) and
you have followed the instructions for fast freezing large amounts of food, don’t
worry this is quite normal. After a period of time the light will go out without any
food being spoiled.
