. . . the compressor runs
continuously.
To save energy, the compressor runs at
a lower speed, but for longer, when
less cooling is required.
. . . food has frozen together.

handle or plastic scraper, to prise it
apart carefully.
......there is a thick layer of ice in

^ Check whether the door closes
properly.
^ Defrost and then clean the freezer.
Too thick a layer of ice reduces
efficiency and increases energy
consumption.
. . . the alarm sounds and the
temperature display flashes.
^
Has the appliance door been open
for longer than 60 seconds?
If this is not the case, then the freezer
temperature has risen above the
temperature set because
^
the door has been opened too
frequently, or large amounts of fresh
food have been put in at once for
freezing,
^
the ventilation gaps are blocked,
^
there has been a lengthy interruption
to the power supply.

..."nA" appears in the temperature
display.
The temperature has risen too high at
some point during the last couple of
days because of a power cut.
^ Press the alarm button whilst "nA"is
lit up in the display.
The temperature display will show the
warmest temperature recorded in the
appliance during the power cut.
Depending on the temperature
displayed, you should check the
condition of 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 warmest temperature will show in
the display for about 1 minute. The
actual current temperature in the
freezer section will then show in the
display again.
