Also remember to empty your freezer and store your food in coolers or insulated bags, to keep them frozen while you defrost your appliance.
However, be careful to avoid using a hammer or sharp objects to dislodge the ice. This could puncture or puncture the freezer walls.
Instead, use a wooden or plastic spatula. Also, don’t forget to put a mop at the bottom of the freezer to mop up any water that will spill.
If the layer of frost is not thick, you can simply keep the freezer door open, after unplugging it for 24 hours. The lack of electricity and the rise in temperature will cause the ice to melt.
To go faster, you can soak a sponge in hot water and rub the walls of the freezer to soften the ice.
It is also possible to fill a spray bottle with hot water to spray it on the walls to melt it. Using a wooden spatula, knock off the frost which is starting to soften.
