Description of the appliance Temperature display • In normal operation the current freezer compartment temperature is displayed (ACTUAL temperature). • During temperature adjustment, a blinking display of the temperature selected at the moment occurs (DESIRED temperature). • If there is a fault in the appliance a square or a letter will appear in the temperature display.
3. Press the ALARM OFF button to switch off the warning tone. 4. Set temperature to -18°C or colder (see section: "Temperature Adjust- ment"). Important! Wait until the freezer compartment has reached a tempera- ture of –18 °C, or the red warning light has gone out, before storing frozen food.
The following DESIRED temperature settings are possible: from -15 °C up to -24 °C in 1 °C steps; Note: From a food safety point of view, -18 °C for the freezer compart- ment should be considered cold enough as a storage temperature.
