. . . the frozen food is thawing
because the freezer is too warm.
^
Is the room temperature lower than
the ambient temperature for which
the appliance is designed?
If so, increase 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 to
become too warm.
^
Activate the winter setting (see
"Winter setting").
. . . 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 interior light cover is warm
even though the door has not been
opened for a while
This is not a fault.
This appliance is equipped with a
winter setting.
If the ambient temperature surrounding
the appliance drops to below 18 °C,
and the winter setting is not activated,
the compressor will run less often
causing the freezer section to become
too warm.
With the winter setting activated, the
interior light will come on automatically,
even with the door closed, if the
ambient temperature surrounding the
appliance drops below 18 °C. This
warms up the temperature inside the
refrigerator section.
The warmth created by the light being
on causes the compressor to start up
more frequently and thus lower the
temperature in the freezer section
again.
Please be aware that the appliance will
not work properly if the ambient
temperature drops below 10°C, even
with the winter setting activated. If this
happens you will need to increase the
ambient temperature in the room in
which the appliance is installed.
