Safe first steps
- Check the freezer temperature setting and ensure it is set to a colder value.
- Activate the Super Freeze function to quickly lower the temperature.
- Inspect the freezer for any visible ice buildup or blockages that may affect airflow.
- If the temperature does not improve after adjusting the settings and activating Super Freeze, consider checking the power supply to the appliance.
- If the freezer still fails to maintain the required temperature, arrange a service visit — do not use the appliance.
When to stop
- Stop if you notice any unusual noises or if the appliance is not cooling at all — risk of component damage.
