The frequency of defrosting depends on the use of the appliance and how quickly ice forms.
Method for defrosting the freezer without unplugging it
Materials needed:
Absorbent towels or cloths
Plastic spatula (never metal)
Hot water
Fan (optional)
Spray with a mixture of water and vinegar (optional)
Steps to follow:
Remove food: Empty the freezer and place the food in a cooler or refrigerator to keep it cold.
Protect the floor: Place towels or absorbent cloths around the freezer to catch any water that will melt.
Hot water method: Fill heatproof containers with hot water and place in the freezer. Close the freezer door and let sit for 15 to 20 minutes. The heat from the water will help melt the ice faster.
