Audible alarm
Your chest freezer is fitted with an audible alarm.

The audible alarm can be switched off by pressing
the corresponding button (Fig. 2/arrow). The red
LED continues to flash until suitable low-tempera­
ture conditions are re-established inside the freezer
compartment. When the red LED goes out, the aud­
ible alarm function Is re-activated.
The audible alarm sounds if the storage tempera­
ture inside the appliance is too high or too warm.
Before starting up
In common with all new appliances, your chest
freezer will emit a specific odour when new.
It is advisable to clean the interior of the freezer and
ail accessories before use (see also “Defrosting and
cleaning”).

be suspended on the plastic cover frame on the up­
per edge of your chest freezer,
if baskets are to be placed in the chest freezer and
stacked above each other, the handles are to be
folded inwards as shown in Fig. 4.
The handles then serve as a support for the basket
to be placed on top.
