into the compartment.
Never use sharp metal tools to
scrape off frost as you could dam-

process other than those recom-

The appliance is not sup-
ported properly.
The temperature is not set
correctly.
The lid has been opened
too frequently.
The lid is not closed prop-

Switch off the appliance.
Disconnect the mains plug from the
mains socket.
Remove all food.
Defrost and clean the appliance and
all accessories.
Leave the lid open to prevent un-
pleasant smells.
If the cabinet will be kept on, ask
somebody to check it once in a
while to prevent the food inside
from spoiling in case of a power
failure.
There are some sounds during
normal use (compressor, refriger-

Solution
Check if the appliance
stands stable (all the four
feet should be on the floor).
Set a warmer temperature.
Do not leave the lid open
longer than necessary.
Check if the lid closes well
and the gaskets are un-
damaged and clean.
Wait some hours and then
check the temperature
again.
Allow food to cool to room
temperature before storing.
