Defrosting the freezer
The freezer should not require defrosting in normal operation. In this
appliance, cold, dry air is circulated evenly around the freezer via a

contents are stored in the freezer (e.g. blocking one or more air
outlets) or an issue with the door seal:

appliance. If it opens at the slightest touch it may mean that the
door seal needs to be replaced.

any, and are unable to resolve the issue yourself, contact Amica
Customer Care so that the seal can be replaced.

The refrigerator and freezer sections should be cleaned using a
solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water. Make sure that
