GB
If the liquid A2 melts, food should be thrown away.
• Do not leave the door open for a long period of time. Close
the door of the freezer since the blackout sensor detector can
give the wrong alarm. Load or unload the freezer as quickly
as possible to avoid interventions of the black-out detector
sensor. Leaving the door open for a long period of time, the
liquid can dissolve on the black-out detector sensor, but the
food in the freezer can be still in good condition.
• Check the state of the liquid only in the presence of electricity.
The freezer is able to maintain the frozen food properly for xx
hours (depending on the outside temperature) in the case of
black-out. If the refrigerator is in a condition of black-out for a
shorter period, it is recommended not to open the doors and
wait.
• Place the hot food on the back of the freezer compartment.
The hot food that is close to the detector blackout sensor may
dissolve liquids and cause ill-timed interventions.
