. . . the frozen food is thawing
because the freezer compartment is
too warm.
^
Is the room temperature lower than
the ambient temperature for which
the appliance is designed?
If so, raise the temperature of the
room.
Operating in a room which is too cold
will cause the cooling system to switch
off for too long causing the freezer
compartment to become too warm.
. . . food has frozen together.

handle or plastic scraper, to prise it
apart carefully.
. . . there is a thick layer of ice in the
freezer compartment.
