36
Possible cause
The temperature inside the
appliance is too low.
– The door has been
opened too frequently.
– A large amount of fresh
frood has been put in at
once for freezing without
switching on the Super
freeze function.
– There has been a lengthy
interruption to the power
supply.
This is not a fault.
Droplets of condensate
have settled on it and
frozen. This may have been
caused by one of the
following:
– The door has been
opened too frequently or
left open for a while.
– A large quantity of fresh
food has been placed in
the freezer at once.
– There has been an
increase in the humidity in
the room.
Remedy
The alarm will stop and the
Alarm symbol ; will go out
when the temperature
reaches the correct level
again.
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.
Keep the door closed as
much as possible so that
the frost-free system has a
chance to melt the ice
droplets automatically. This
may take several days.
^ Use a blunt instrument,
e.g. a spoon handle or
plastic scraper, to prise it
apart carefully.
