● Your freezer is designed and constructed with good door sealing to make it operate as
efficiently as possible.
For this reason, after closing the door, it may be difficult to open again immediately. This is not a
fault. If you wait about 2 minutes for the internal and external pressures to equalise the door
can be opened more easily.
