Indicator Lights
There are two amber lights which indicate functions are selected:
● The amber fast freeze light indicates that the fast freeze button has been
pressed on. By pressing this button ON, the freezer motor will run continuously
for extra cooling.
● The amber holiday light (Models FFA84, FFM84, FFA76, FFM76, FFA75, FFA74
& FFM74 only) indicates that the holiday mode is set.
There are two red lights which warn of a rise in temperature in the freezer
compartment:
● The red high temperature warning light will come on when the fridge freezer is
first switched on or when the temperature inside the compartment rises above
the correct storage temperature. It will go out as soon as the compartment
returns to its normal storage temperature.
The red light may come on for a short period when opening the freezer door to
load or unload food, in this case storage times will not be affected.
If there has been a power cut resulting in a rise in freezer compartment
temperature, the red high temperature warning light will come on as soon as the
mains power returns. It will go out as soon as the compartment returns to its
normal storage temperature.
Avoid opening compartment doors during a power cut, the freezer insulation will
continue to protect your food. However if the power cut continues, there is a risk of your
frozen food beginning to defrost due to the rise in temperature.
● The red food defrost alert light (Models FFA84, FFM84, FFA76, FFM76, FFA75,
FFA74 & FFM74 only) will also come on when the mains power is restored to
warn there has been a power cut and the freezer compartment temperature has
risen to an unsafe level allowing partial defrosting of stored food. If this light is
ON, food should be either cooked and eaten within 24 hours, cooked and refrozen
or thrown away.
The red food defrost alert light is a particularly useful warning light if you were
out at the time of the power cut. The light will remain on until cancelled. It can
only be cancelled by pressing the button alongside it.
Check the TROUBLESHOOTING section if you have any problems with these indicator
lights.
