Temperature Inside The Freezer; Alarms And Other Features - Electrolux EUC2609 Instruction Book

Temperature inside the freezer

To ensure that foodstuff will keep for a long time, be
sure that the temperature inside the freezer is -18°C
or below. Please note, however, that the energy
consumption increases as the temperature decreases.
The built-in temperature display shows the warmest
temperature inside the freezer. If the temperature is
measured using a thermometer, put it between the
products since this will reflect the real temperature
in the frozen products. It is normal that the built-in
temperature display shows a temperature slightly
above that measured in other ways.

Alarms and other features

Door open alarm
If the door remains open for more than about 1,5
minute, the red indicator lamp starts flashing and an
audible alarm sounds.
To switch off the alarm:
Press the alarm shut-off button. As long as the door
remains open, the audible alarm will sound anew at
1-minute intervals. The red indicator lamp goes out
when the door is closed.
Temperature alarm
If the temperature rises above -12°C, the red warning
lamp flashes and an audible alarm sounds. The
temperature display will then start to flash.
To switch off the alarm:
Press the alarm shut-off button to switch off the
audible alarm. The temperature display will stop
flashing.
The red warning lamp goes out when the
temperature inside the freezer again falls below
-11°C.
Find out what caused the alarm. See the chapter
"Something not working".
Temperature memory
The temperature memory shows when an alarm has
been triggered in the cabinet.
The temperature memory operates as follows:
When the temperature inside the freezer again falls
below -11°C the audible alarm stops. The
temperature display and the red warning lamp will
flash to indicate than an alarm was triggered. When
the alarm shut-off button is pressed, the display then
displays the warmest temperature inside the cabinet
during the alarm phase and the display stops
flashing. By referring to the temperature display
indication, it is possible to decide whether or not to
discard the products inside the freezer.
At about -12°C:
Most food products can be immediately
re-frozen. Ice cream is especially sensitive to
temperature changes and should be consumed
as soon as possible.
At -9° - -2°C:
Food products should be prepared (cooked)
prior to eating or re-freezing them.
However, always check the quality of the food
yourself to determine if it can be frozen or if it must
be discarded.
