It is not advisable to heat the freezer compartment directly
with hot water or a hair dryer while defrosting, to avoid
deforming the inner case.
It is also not advisable to use sharp tools or the like to
scrape off ice and frost or to separate food that is frozen
together or frozen to the container, as this could damage the
inner casing or the surface of the evaporator.
