Cause and remedy
This is not a fault. The suction caused by opening
and closing the door is preventing the door from
opening. Wait a few minutes and then try again. It
should now open without force.
The food packaging was not dry when placed in the
freezer.
 Use a blunt instrument, e.g. a spoon handle or
plastic scraper, to prise it apart carefully.
This is not a fault. The alarm tone has been switched
off in settings mode (see "Selecting further settings -
Audible tones").
The safety lock is activated. The  symbol is lit up in
the display.
 Deactivate the lock (see "Selecting settings - Acti‐
vating or deactivating the lock").
This is not a fault. The warmth created by the evapo‐
rator is used to prevent condensation.
