If these are punctured this will cause substantial damage to the appliance and result in food loss. DO NOT USE SHARP INSTRUMENTS to scrape off frost or ice. Under NO circumstances should solid ice be forced off the lining or shelves. [. . . ] Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by packing all foodstuffs into airtight pakages before placing them in the freezer.

This will ensure safer defrosting of foods and reduce the work of the refrigeration unit.
