[. . . ] These operating instructions are for use with several technically comparable models with varying accessories. Please observe the notes which apply to your model. 1 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!, Attention!). 0 This symbol guides you step by step in the operation of the appliance. 3 2 Supplementary information regarding operation and practical applications of the appliance appear after this symbol. Tips and notes concerning economical and environmentally sound use of the appliance are marked with the cloverleaf. [. . . ] 0 Place the ice packs into a compartment or drawer only after the optimal storage temperature of -18°C has been reached, and allow to freeze. 0 After 24 hours place the ice packs at the front of the freezer tray. 0 Re-freeze thawed ice packs in the same fashion, e. g. after cleaning the appliance. Initial Start-Up 0 Insert plug into mains socket. The temperature display shows the current freezer compartment temperature (actual temperature). The blinking red warning display indicates that the required storage temperature has not yet been reached. Note: Within 5 minutes after the appliance has been switched on, the electronics initialise a self-test. The compressor does not start until after completion of the self-test. 0 Set temperature to -18°C or colder (see section: "Temperature Adjustment"). Note: The factory setting for the temperature of the freezer compartment is -15°C. 0 Do not load freezer with goods until the temperature has reached -18°C, or until the red warning display has gone out. 22 Temperature Adjustment 0 Press temperature regulator and free it from its recessed position. 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 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. 25 Control and Information Systems The audible warning can be switched off with the WARNING OFF button. Both warning display and audible warning are automatically switched off when the actual temperature in the freezer compartment falls to 4°C warmer than the selected SET temperature. Note: · The red warning display and the audible warning are inoperable: after temperature adjustment, until the selected SET temperature has been reached (exception: actual temperature exceeds -10°C). · Only the audible warning is inoperable: ­ after the appliance is switched on, and until the selected SET temperature has been reached for the first time; ­ when the FAST FREEZE button is depressed. Partial/Complete Thaw Warning If frozen goods have been partially or completely thawed (e. g. during a temporary power interruption), the red warning display blinks. In addition the temperature display alternately indicates: ­ the highest temperature to which the frozen goods have warmed; ­ and the current actual temperature in the freezer compartment. If suspicion of partial or complete thawing exists, please check the quality of the foods to determine if they can be used. As soon as the temperature in the freezer compartment has again fallen below the critical thawing temperature of -4°C, the partial/complete thaw warning can be switched off with the WARNING OFF button. Note: After the appliance has been switched on, the partial/complete thaw warning remains inoperative until the selected SET temperature has been reached for the first time. Function Errors If the appliance electronics have detected a technical malfunction which has to be corrected by a customer service technician, both optical and acoustic warnings are activated. [. . . ] 0 Please check, ­ if illumination is switched off when the door is closed and ­ if the audible warning signal sounds after the door has been open for about 80 seconds. If not, readjust contacter again. Customer Service If you cannot find the remedy for a malfunction in these operating instructions, please contact your dealer or our customer service department. Addresses and telephone numbers are listed in the accompanying booklet "Guarantee Conditions/Customer Service Locations".
