ses are quite normal operating noises. They reduce automatically as soon as your freezer reaches the desired tem-
perature. These noises are as follows:

PROBLEM
ADVICE
Unusual noises
- Check the adjustement of the feet of your appliance and its stability.
- Check that it is not touching a wall.
- Check that all the movable parts (trays, racks, etc..) are securely in place.
The freezer does not get cold
enough
- Check that the temperature is correctly set as indicated in the section on
“Adjusting your freezer’s temperature”.
- If you have put a large amount of foor in your freezer at one time, ensure that
you readjust the temperature as shown in the section on “Adjusting your freezer’s
temperature”.
- Be careful not to open your appliance’s door too often, and not to leave it open.
Your appliance does not get
cold at all
- Check that your appliance is connected to the electrical supply.
-Check that the circuit-breaker for your house has not cut out and that the fuse
has not blown or been unscrewed
Frost forms inside your
appliance
- Be careful not to open your appliance’s door too often and not to leave it open.
Certains foods do not freeze
completely
-This is quite normal for food that contains a lot of sugar, fat or alcohol not to
freeze completely and to remain partially soft (ice cream, fruit juice,etc.).
Frozen meat has white streaks
- Check that your temperature is correctly set and is not at too low temperature
(see the section on “Setting your freezer’s temperature”).
- Check that you haven’t kept this meat too long in the freezer using the table you
will find in the “Food Freezing Guide” section.
The door is difficult to open
- It is normal for the door to offer some resistance to being opened, particularly
when you have just shut it: a slight underpressure forms in your appliance to
ensure the door seals perfectly. AIl you have to do is wait a few seconds before
re-opening.
