Alarm Function Door Alarm The Door Alarm switches On if an appliance door is left open for longer than three minutes. Close the door to switch Off the Warning Signal. Temperature Alarm The Temperature Alarm switches On if the Freezer Compartment is too warm and the frozen food is at risk of thawing. The set temperature of the Freezer Compartment flashes and "ALARM" is displayed on the display panel. When the ALARM button is pressed, the temperature display for the Freezer Compartment indicates for five seconds the warmest temperature reached in the Freezer Compartment. Then this value is deleted. The temperature display for the Freezer Compartment indicates the set Freezer Compartment temperature without flashing. Henceforth the "warmest temperature" will be redefined and saved. The alarm display goes out as soon as the set temperature has been reached again. The alarm may switch on without any risk to the frozen food: ■ when the appliance is switched On, ■ when large quantities of fresh food are placed in the appliance, ■ if the Freezer Compartment Door is open too long.
