Condensation and ice will form with frequent and prolonged opening of the doors. Operating outside of the recommend temperature range and placing next to a heat source will also increase the amount of ice and internal/external condensation. If external condensation occurs wipe the surface down with a cloth. Excessive ice will result in longer running times that will increase energy consumption and increase the deterioration of components.

Cleaning the Condenser
Periodically cleaning the condenser can extend the life of the appliance.
POLAR recommend that a POLAR agent or qualified technician clean the condenser.
