Notes
■ You can tell from the handle whether
the freezer compartment door is
closed properly.
■ The freezer compartment door
engages audibly.
■ If the door is open, the frozen food will
thaw. The freezer compartment
will become covered in thick ice.
Also: waste of energy due to high
power consumption!
