warm.

The alarm will stop and the Alarm off
sensor in the display will go out as soon
as the temperature has dropped down
to the correct level.
If the temperature rises in the freezer,
the temperature display will show the
highest temperature that was reached
during the time the temperature in the
freezer rose.
If the warning light is on, check the
condition of the food in the freezer. If it
has defrosted or started to defrost,
check that it is still safe to use and if so
use it as soon as possible. Defrosted
food may only be re-frozen after it has
been cooked.
