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.

Call your POLAR dealer or a qualified electrician, the Lamp Assembly is
available to purchase as a spare part.

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