This symbol guides you step by step in the operation of the appliance. [. . . ] The yellow pilot light comes on when the switch (6) has been operated. The refrigerating unit then operates continuously. The red temperature warning light (4) comes on when: ­ the appliance has been started up but the storage temperature has not yet been attained; 18 ­ 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. Turn the thermostat control knob to the desired setting with the aid of a coin. The compressor starts and then runs automatically. Wait until the freezer compartment has reached a temperature of -18°C, or the red warning light has gone out, before storing frozen food. 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 appliance door is left open too long; - if the temperature in the freezer compartment is too warm. "Open Door" warning The warning tone sounds if the door is left open for more than 60 seconds. You can switch off the warning tone by closing the door. 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 warmth will cause increased ice formation and increase the power consumption. · Please note the maximum storage times specified by the manufacturer. · Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into meals) may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time. · Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at low temperatures. Do not store any containers with flammable materials such as, for example, spray cans, fire extinguisher refill cartridges etc in the refrigerator/freezer. · Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer.
