Super Freeze
Before freezing large quantities of fresh
food, it is recommended that the Super
Freeze function be activated.
To do so, press the Super Freeze button .
The control lamp lights yellow to indicate
that the Super Freeze function is switched
on.
Super Freeze is used to freeze large
quantities of fresh items and must be
activated up to 24 hours before placing
such items in the freezer.
When Super Freeze is switched on, the
compressor runs constantly and the
temperature in the freezer falls below the
normal setting. This temperature reduction
ensures that non-frozen items do not affect
the temperature and thus the quality of
frozen items already stored in the freezer.
Super Freeze is switched off automatically
after 24 hours.
Door-open alarm (fridge)
If the door has been left open for longer
than two minutes, an acoustic alarm is
activated and the control lamp flashes red.
Both these alarms are reset when the door
is closed. On pressing the alarm button ,
only the acoustic alarm is switched off.
High-temperature alarm
Visual and acoustic alarms are activated if
the freezer temperature has been higher
than -10°C for more than 90 minutes. If
the temperature drops again, the visual
and acoustic alarms remain active and
the display continues to show the highest
temperature recorded in the freezer. To
reset the alarms, press the alarm button .
This switches off the alarms and returns
the display to the actual temperature in the
freezer.
