Problem
Possible cause and remedy
The door to the freezer
section will not open
because it has been
opened and closed too
many times in
succession.
This is not a fault. The suction caused by opening
and closing the door is preventing the door from
opening. Wait approx. 1 minute and then try again. It
should now open without force.
Food has frozen
together.
The food packaging was not dry when loaded in the
freezer.
Use a blunt instrument, e.g. a spoon handle or
plastic scraper, to prise it apart carefully.
There is no audible
alarm although the door
has been open for a
long time.
This is not a fault. The alarm tone has been switched
off in settings mode (see “Further settings - Audible
tones
”).
The
symbol lights up
in the display. You
cannot switch the
appliance off.
The
safety lock
has been activated.
Deactivate the safety lock (see “Further settings –
Switching the safety lock on/off”).
The external walls of
the appliance feel
warm.
This is not a fault. The heat which results from the
cooling process is used to avoid the build-up of
condensation on the appliance.
