If you only switch off the alarm by touching the Akey, the alarm will switch
on again after some time because the door is still open.
!
HIGH TEMPERATURE ALARM
A signal will sound when the temperature in the appliance is too high.
Furthermore, symbol Dshown in the display will flash. A high temperature can
be caused for several reasons:
• The door has been opened for too long or too frequently.
• The door does not seal properly.
• Too much fresh food has been put in at the same time.
Every time the appliance is switched on again, it takes a while until the
correct temperature is reached. For this reason, the alarm is disabled
for the first 24 hours after the appliance is switched on to prevent the
unnecessary activation of the alarm.

In the FreshZone compartment, food stays fresh longer than in a conventional
refrigerator, retaining more flavour and nutrients.
Decay and loss of mass are slowed down; therefore, fruit and vegetables remain
fresh and natural longer. For optimum performance, the drawer should be fully
closed.
• When buying food, make sure it is fresh as this will determine the quality of
the food, as well as how long it will keep in the fridge.
• Store the food in closed containers or appropriate packaging to prevent it
from emitting or receiving odours.
• Take the food from the drawer 30 to 60 minutes before use to allow the aroma
and flavour to develop at ambient temperature.
• Food sensitive to low temperature and not appropriate for storage in the
FreshZone drawer includes the following: pineapples, avocado, bananas,
olives, potatoes, eggplant, cucumbers, beans, peppers (capsicum), melons,
watermelons, pumpkins, squash, zucchini, etc.
• To remove the drawer, pull out the
drawer as far as it will go (1). Then,
