Maintenance
Defrosting
It is a normal phenomenon that a part of
the internal humidity is turned into frost
and ice during operation. However, a
thick frost or ice layer has an insulating
effect and thus reduces the freezing
performance leading to rising internal
temperatures and higher energy
consumption and, above a certain layer
thickness, to difficulties in the opening or
sudden break of the freezer door.
If the formation of frost and ice is not
significant, use the spatula (accessory) to
remove or scrape off the frost or ice layer.
