[. . . ] Thank you for choosing one of our high-quality products. With this appliance you will experience the perfect combination of functional design and cutting edge technology. Convince yourself that our appliances are engineered to deliver the best performance and control - indeed we are setting the highest standards of excellence. In addition to this you find environmental and energy saving aspects as an integral part of our products. [. . . ] The warning system comprises of an optical warning light (red) and an acoustic warning tone. The red warning blinks 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 switch. The yellow fast freeze light illuminates. The red warning blinks until the required temperature has been reached again. 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. The temperature regulator can be used for the variable setting of the storage temperature for your frozen food. 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. To utilise the maximum rated freezing capacity, switch on the fast freeze switch 24 hours before freezing is due to start (the yellow light illuminates). For smaller amounts the fast freeze switch should be switched on 4 - 6 hours in advance. All foods must be packed air tight prior to freezing, so that they do not dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination of other frozen goods occurs. Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could stick to the food and cause skin abrasions. Place food to be frozen in the appliance´s two top drawers (2) and (3). Unfrozen food must not touch items already frozen, otherwise the frozen food could begin to defrost. Freezer drawers (4) and (5) should only be used for storage of frozen food. Once the food has frozen, press the fast freeze switch again. The following are suited for the packaging of frozen goods: ­ freezer bags and polyethylene wraps; ­ special containers for frozen goods; ­ extra­thick aluminium foil. Smooth the air out of the bag before sealing; air makes it easier for the frozen food to dry out. Make flat packages, because these freeze more quickly. [. . . ] The following noises are characteristic of refrigeration appliances: · Clicks Whenever the compressor switches on or off, a click can be heard. Humming As soon as the compressor is in operation, you can hear it humming. Bubbling/Splashing When refrigerant flows into thin tubes, you can hear bubbling or splashing noises. Even after the compressor has been switched off, this noise can be heard for a short time. [. . . ]
