You can cancel the warning tone with the ALARM OFF button.
“Open Door” Warning When the fridge or freezer doors are open the open door warning but- ton flashes red and a warning tone is sounded. – after approx. 1 minute if the freezer door is open – after approx. 4 minutes if the fridge door is open If you need more time for inserting frozen or chilled foods or moving them around you can switch off the warning tone by pressing the DOOR OPEN button.
In the holiday mode the temperature for the refrigerator is approxi- mately between +10 °C and +12 °C.

Proper Storage To obtain the best performance from your refrigerator/freezer: • Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids. • Do not store food uncovered. • Keep the time between buying chilled food and placing it in your freezer as short as possible.
Freezing Warning! • Before foods are frozen, the actual temperature in the freezer compartment must be -18 °C or colder. • Please observe indicated freezing capacity on the rating plate. The freezing capacity represents the maximum amount of fresh goods that can be frozen within 24 hours.
Frozen Storage Warning! Before initial loading of the freezer compartment with previously frozen goods, the required storage temperature of -18 °C must be reached. • Load freezer only with packaged frozen goods, so that they do not dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination of other frozen goods can occur.
• A thermostat controls the compressor and you will hear a faint click when the thermostat cuts in and out. Food Storage To obtain the best performance from your refrigerator/freezer: • Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids. • Do not store food uncovered.
2. Remove frozen goods, pack them in several layers of newspaper, cover them and store them in a cool place. 3. Switch off refrigerator and freezer and remove plug from the mains, or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or the fuse.
