Tips for use:

To get the best results from your POLAR appliance, follow these instructions:

  • Do not put oily food, solidified liquid food, frozen food, etc. directly on the inner wire rack and bottom of the machine, so as to avoid oil or other liquid flowing into the machine base, which will affect the normal operation and even damage the machine. It is recommended to put food on the tray to avoid dripping oil or other residues.
  • Wrap or cover food where possible.
  • Do not obstruct the vents inside the appliance.
  • Avoid opening the door for prolonged periods of time.

Cleaning, Care & Maintenance

Switch off and disconnect from the power supply before cleaning.

  • Clean the interior of the appliance as often as possible.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaning agents. These can leave harmful residues.
  • Always wipe dry after cleaning.
  • Carry out a manual defrost if excessive ice is present.
  • Remove any water that may be present before usage.

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.

Cleaning the Condenser

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