will cause the cooling system to switch

section to become too warm.

handle or plastic scraper, to prise it
apart carefully.

longer than 5 minutes?

. . . the alarm sounds and the alarm
off sensor lights up or is flashing.
^ The appliance 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 alarm off
sensor in the display will go out as soon
as the temperature has dropped down
to 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.
