6.2. Door alarm
Both doors are fitted with a switch which detects whether
they are open or closed.
The freezer compartment features a button in the top left-
hand corner, while the refrigerator compartment is fitted
with an electronic switch, i.e. a reed element fitted to the
control board of the control panel detects the presence or
absence of the magnet embedded in foam in the centre
of the refrigerator door.
r=reed-element, m=magnet
The "door open" alarm lights 4 minutes after the door of the refrigerator compartment is opened, or one
minute after the door of the freezer compartment is opened.
When the alarm is generated, the button/pilot lamp (b) begins to flash and the buzzer sounds. To disactivate
the alarm, it is necessary to press button "b": the flashing light becomes fixed and the buzzer switches off. If
the door remains open, the alarm resumes flashing and the buzzer sounds again after 4 minutes.
After the third time that the alarm is disactivated, the buzzer switches off definitively and the pilot lamp (b)
remains lit. If the door is not closed, the electronic system switches off the light in the refrigerator
compartment after a further 15 minutes.
6.3. Temperature alarm
The temperature alarm is not connected with the direct reading of the sensor, but it is activated by the
microprocessor which elaborates a simulation of the effective progress of the foodstuff temperature.
If the temperature inside the freezer compartment remain above –12°C for 45 minutes, the "temperature"
alarm (c) is activated.
When the alarm switches on, the button/led (c) starts lightening and the buzzer sounds. In order to switch off
the alarm you need to push button (c): the light stops blinking and remains fixed and the buzzer switches off.
The temperature control is enabled 4 hours after the first start.
After a defrost cycle the alarm is enabled after 90 minutes.
6.4. "Rapid freezing" function
The "rapid freezing" function is selected by pressing the corresponding button/pilot lamp (d) and it is
disactivated automatically after 36 hours. During "rapid freezing" the cut-off temperature is –32°C (the
compressor does not run continuously).
The "rapid freezing" function can be disactivated manually before the 36 hours have elapsed by pressing
button "d" again.
Once the "rapid freezing" function has been selected, a defrosting cycle takes place after 6 hours of
operation; thereafter, the maximum interval between defrosting cycles is 10 hours.
If the "rapid freezing" function is disactivated, the intervals of operation between defrosting cycles return to
the normal periods calculated before the selection of the function.
The electronic control system memorises the time that has elapsed after selection of the "rapid freezing"
function so that, in the event of a temporary power failure, the function does not restart from the beginning,
but from the point at which it was interrupted.
