[. . . ] These operating instructions are for use with several technically comparable models with varying accessories. Please observe the notes which apply to your model. Notes which are important for your safety or for the proper functioning of the appliance are stressed with a warning triangle and/ or with signal words (Warning!, Caution!, Important!). This symbol guides you step by step in the operation of the appliance. [. . . ] The red temperature warning light (3) comes on when: ­ the appliance has been started up but the storage temperature has not yet been reached; ­ the minimum storage temperature is no longer being maintained (fault); ­ excessive amounts of fresh food are placed inside; or ­ if the appliance door is open for too long. 31 Warning system The warning system comprises of an optical warning light (red) and an acoustic warning tone. The red warning light and the warning tone signal an alarm if the temperature in the freezer compartment is too warm. Temperature Warning The red warning light illuminates and the warning tone sounds if the temperature in the freezer compartment is warmer than -12°C. An increase in the temperature in the freezer compartment may be caused by - frequent or extended opening of the door; - storing large quantities of warm food; - a high ambient temperature; - a malfunction in the cooling system. Switch off the warning tone by pressing the fast freeze button. The yellow fast freeze light illuminates. The red warning light remains illuminated until the required temperature has been reached again. After the storage temperature has been reached, press the fast freeze button again to switch off the fast freeze function. Note: when the appliance is switched on for the first time, the warning light and the warning tone signal an alarm because the necessary storage temperature in the freezer compartment has not yet been reached. Starting up and temperature regulation Switch the appliance on by pressing the ON/OFF switch (5). The following effects are of significance in respect of the interior temperature: ­ Ambient temperature; ­ Quantity and temperature of the food stored; ­ Frequency with which the door is opened and how long it is left open.
