Only the required lamps are lit with reduced luminosity.
As soon as the appliance is used, e.g. the door is
opened, the display switches back to normal illumination.
Alarm function
In the following cases an alarm may be actuated:
Door alarm
If the appliance is left open for longer than one minute,
the door alarm (continuous sound) switches on. Close
the door or press the Alarm button 2 to switch the
warning signal off again.
Temperature alarm
The temperature alarm switches on if the freezer
compartment is too warm and the frozen food is at risk of
thawing.
Alarm button „alarm" flashes: Frozen food is or was at
■
risk of thawing.
Alarm button „alarm" is lit: Frozen food is not at risk of
■
thawing.
The alarm may switch on without any risk to the frozen
food:
when the appliance is switched on,
■
when large quantities of fresh food are placed in the
■
appliance,
if the freezer compartment door is open too long.

Do not refreeze partly or completely thawed food. Only
ready-to-eat meals (boiled or fried) may be refrozen.

Usable capacity
Information on the usable capacity can be found inside
your appliance on the rating plate (see diagram in
chapter Customer service).
Fully utilizing the freezer volume
To place the maximum amount of food in the freezer, all
frozen food containers, except the bottom one, can be
taken out of the appliance. The food can be stacked
directly on the freezer shelves.
Removing the fittings
Pull out the frozen food containers all the way, lift at the
front and remove.
Refrigerator compartment
The refrigerator compartment is the ideal storage
location for meat, sausage, fish, dairy products, eggs,
ready meals and pastries.
Note when storing food
Store fresh, undamaged food. The quality and
■
freshness will then be retained for longer.
In the case of ready-made products and bottled
■
goods, observe the best-before date or use-by date
specified by the manufacturer.
To retain aroma, color and freshness, pack or cover
■
food well before placing in the appliance. This will
prevent the transfer of flavors and the discoloration
of plastic parts in the refrigerator compartment.
Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before
■
placing in the appliance.
Note:
Avoid contact between food and rear panel. Otherwise
the air circulation will be impaired.
Food or packaging could freeze to the rear panel.
