[. . . ] When not in use Should the unit not be used for a long period of time (for example during the summer holidays), disconnect the plug from the mains and leave the door open to avoid the formation of mould and unpleasant odours after completing the defrosting and cleaning operations. Defrosting It is a good idea to remove the frost buildup from the inside of the appliance from time to time. Make sure not to use pointed metal objects to do so as this could result in piercing the refrigeration circuits, causing irreparable damage to the appliance. To defrost the freezer completely (which should be done once or twice a year), disconnect the appliance from the power supply and leave the door open until all the frost has melted. [. . . ]
