It is normal to regularly hear the motor running.
The following circumstances may be at the origin of a regular
operation:

- Large quantity of warm food has recently been stored in the
appliance.
- High temperature outside the appliance.
- Doors are kept open too long or too often.
- After switching on your appliance for the first time or if it has
been switched off for a long time.

food is placed within the appliance to allow air to circulate
freely. Ensure that door is fully closed. To remove the frost,
please refer to the chapter
"Cleaning and Care"
The doors of the appliance are often open or left open, or obs-
tacles prevent them from closing properly.
Ensure proper ventilation around and above your appliance by
creating enough space.
Increase the temperature by following the chapter
"Control panel"
Make sure the appliance is tilted backwards by 10 - 15 mm to
enable the doors to close automatically. Internal elements pre-
vent the doors from closing.
