Condensation
If the freezer is installed in humid or badly ventilated rooms (cellar, garage) under particular humidity conditions (higher than 85%) there may be some condensation forming on the appliance walls. In extreme cases, you may notice water droplets. This phenomena does not affect the operation and the performance of the appliance.
