When put into operation anew, the appliance starts in the operation mode, in which it was set prior to switching off. 0 0 0 0 3 56 Control and Information Systems The control and information systems consist of a temperature display, an optical warning display and an acoustic warning device. The system warns of: ­ open appliance door; ­ power interruption; ­ excessive temperature in the freezer compartment (only in the operation mode "Freezing"); ­ possible partial or complete thawing of frozen goods; ­ functional disturbances at the appliance. "Open Door"-Warning The red warning indicator blinks when the door is opened. If the door remains open longer than approx. 80 seconds, an extra warning tone sounds. If you need more time for sorting or rearranging frozen foodstuff, you can switch off the 80 seconds warning tone by pressing the WARNING OFF button. Power Interruption If the power supply is interrupted, an audible warning sounds at 20 second intervals. In addition, the current actual temperature in the freezer compartment is indicated in blinking fashion by the temperature display (2 seconds on, 2 seconds off). After one hour the audible warning only sounds at 40 second intervals. The audible warning can be switched off for about 2 hours with the WARNING OFF button. In the event of a power interruption, the control and information systems can maintain operation of the temperature display and warning signal for up to 12 hours. Temperature Warning (only in the operating mode ''Freezing") The red warning display blinks and an audible warning sounds, as soon as the temperature in the freezer compartment climbs to more than 5°C above the selected SET temperature. A rise in temperature of more than 5°C may be caused by: ­ frequent door opening for long periods of time; ­ loading with large quantities of warm foods; ­ an error at the appliance. You can also stop the FAST FREEZE function manually by pressing the FAST FREEZE button again. 59 Freezing · To allow storage of awkward freezing foodstuff, the drawers of the appliance are individually removable. They can be stacked in the one lying below. · The following are suitable for packing foodstuffs to be frozen: ­ freezing bags and foils made of polyethylene; ­ special tins for frozen food; ­ aluminium foil, extra strong. · The following are suited for sealing bags and wraps: plastic clips, rubber bands or adhesive tape. · Press air out of bags and wraps before sealing, because air encourages drying of frozen goods. · Make flat packages, because these freeze more quickly. · Do not fill cans for frozen goods to the brim with liquid or paste-like goods, because liquids expand during freezing. 3 Note for inspection authorities: Batch plans for the determination of freezing performance or warm-up time can be requested directly from the manufacturer. Frozen Storage Attention!Before initial loading of the freezer compartment with previously frozen goods, the required storage temperature of -18°C must be reached. · Load freezer only with packaged frozen goods, so that they do not dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination of other frozen goods can occur. · Please observe maximum storage times and expiry dates of frozen goods. 2 In so far as possible store frozen goods separately according to type in compartments and drawers. [. . . ] 0 Break both wall spacing elements from the plinth and insert them into the sockets at the back side of the appliance, according to the figure, so that the required wall gap for the necessary ventilation at the back of the appliance is provided for. Appliance Alignment 0 In order to push the appliance to the final installation place, carefully press at the top on the door and tilt the appliance backwards a bit.
