What FF
actually means.
On a Café, FF warns that the freezer is getting too warm. The instruction attached to it is to check frozen food for thawing, so treat it as a food-safety prompt first. The code reports the rising temperature, not its cause.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Café's own guidance for FF on its refrigerators. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Go through the freezer and set aside anything soft or thawing; keep the rest cold in another freezer or a cooler if you can.
Look for a drawer or door that has not closed all the way.
Cut power for a minute or two and restore it, which can reset the panel.
If the freezer stays warm, book a visit the same day if possible.
What not to do
It is not a demonstration or a setting. Unlike the mode codes on the same list, FF means the freezer really is warming.
