. . . the frozen food is thawing
because the freezer section 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
section to become too warm.
. . . food has frozen together.
Use a blunt instrument, e.g. a spoon
handle or plastic scraper, to prise it
apart carefully.
. . . there is a thick layer of ice in the
freezer section.
^
Check whether the freezer section
door closes properly.
^
Defrost and then clean the freezer
section.
Too thick a layer of ice reduces
efficiency and increases energy
consumption.
. . . the alarm sounds and the alarm
indicator light flashes.
The temperature in the freezer section
is too warm, because
^
a large amount of food has been
frozen at once without switching on
the Super freeze function.
The alarm will stop and the indicator
light will go out when the temperature
has reached the correct level again.
If the alarm and indicator light do not
go out, please call the Service
Department.
^
the compressor is faulty. Call the Ser-
vice Department.
Depending on the temperature in the
freezer, you should check the condition
of the food. If food has defrosted or
started to defrost, check that it is still
safe to use, and if so, use it as quickly
as possible. Defrosted food may only
be re-frozen after it has been cooked.
. . . the Super freeze indicator light
and one of the temperature display
lights are flashing at the same time.
There is a fault. Call the Service
Department.
