A layer of frost or ice can build up in the freezer compartment after a long period of operation.
The layer of frost or ice builds up faster if the appliance is opened often or if the food is warm when placed inside. However, a thick layer of ice will increase the appliance‘s energy consumption. You should therefore defrost the appli- ance regularly.
