Possible causes / Solutions:
• The plug has not been inserted into the electrical socket, or not far enough
to make contact, or there is no power in the house.
• The appliance comes with a motor protection control (
see Start-up and use).
• Pull out and reverse the plug before putting it back in the socket.
• The refrigerator door has been open for more than two minutes.
The buzzer stops when the door is closed or when the RESET ALARM
button is pressed.
• The temperature inside the freezer is too high.

not refreeze, allowing you to eat it within 24 hours or to refreeze it after it
has been cooked.
To switch off the buzzer, press the RESET ALARM button. Press again to
delete the message on the display, switch off the ALARM LED and restore
normal operation.
