. . . The temperature display for the
freezer shows -18 °C, even though I
have selected a higher temperature?
This is not a fault. If the ice maker is
switched on and the room temperature
is less than +18 °C, the temperature is
automatically set to -18 °C.
This is to ensure trouble-free
functioning of the ice cube maker.
. . . the frozen food is thawing
because the freezer is too warm.

Is the room temperature lower than
the ambient temperature for which
the appliance is designed?
If so, increase the temperature of the
room.
Operating in a room which is too cold
will cause the cooling system to switch
off for too long, causing the freezer to
become too warm.
. . . food has frozen together.

Use a blunt instrument, e.g. a spoon
handle or plastic scraper, to prise it
apart carefully.
. . . the alarm sounds.

. . . the alarm sounds and the sensor
for switching off the temperature or
door alarm lights up or is flashing.

The door is open, or
^
the temperature in the appliance has
risen significantly because
–
too much warm air from the room has
entered the appliance,
–
large quantities of food have recently
been placed in the freezer,
–
there has been a power cut.
The alarm will stop and the sensor for
switching the temperature or door
alarm off will go out as soon as the
temperature is at the correct level.
The temperature display will show the
highest temperature that was reached
during the time the temperature in the
freezer rose.
Check the condition of the food in the
freezer. If it has defrosted or started to
defrost, check that it is still safe to use
and if so use it as soon as possible.
Defrosted food may only be re-frozen
after it has been cooked.
. . . the reminder to change the water
filter indicator lights up red.
The water filter will soon need to be
changed.
