Using the appliance

Alarms

In the event of an alarm, the acoustic alarm and

indicator lights are activated.
Important: To disable the acoustic signal, press the

Reset button above the alarm icon.

Door open alarm
The door alarm symbol lights up and the acoustic

alarm is activated when one or both doors of the

refrigerator and/or freezer have remained open.

When the doors are left open for more than 2 minutes,

the symbol flashes and an acoustic signal sounds.

Operation alarm
The activation of the acoustic alarm and the

appearance of a letter code on the display indicates a

problem with the appliance. If this happens, call

customer service. You will be asked to provide the letter

code shown on the display instead of the temperature.

Operation symbols

Water filter
This symbol indicates the state of the water filter.

The filter symbol is blue (green on some models) on

new products, or after the filter cartridge has been

replaced. When the icon becomes yellow, the filter life

is almost exhausted and the filter cartridge will need

replacing shortly.

When the icon becomes red, the filter will be replaced.

Important: Only replace the cartridge when the
symbol on the display becomes red. After replacing

the filter cartridge, press the

Filter Reset

button,

until the icon becomes blue (or green).

The

Filter Reset button will not work if the filter icon is

already blue (or green).

The water filter is located under the freezer

compartment door.

procedure until the symbol goes off.

This function must be activated before freezing fresh

food. To activate the function, press the

automatically deactivated after 24 hours, or manually

by pressing again the button.

Holiday
This function deactivates the refrigerator compartment

if the user is going away for sometime.

This function can be activated or deactivated by

pressing the

on and the displayed temperature of the refrigerator

the refrigerator compartment, repeat the operation.

After activating the function, remove perishable food

from the refrigerator compartment and keep the door

closed, since the refrigerator maintains an adequate

temperature for preventing the formation of odours..
