Defrost the freezer quickly and according to the rules

The main assistant in the kitchen of household appliances for each housewife is, of course, a refrigerator. He is responsible for the preservation of the quality of products and ready meals. But by opening the refrigeration door to take the products we need, we give the opportunity to get there warm airwhich, in contact with an icy stream, forms steam. Subsequently, due to this process, ice forms on the surface of the freezer. In a certain period, pushing the container becomes a difficult task due to the extra layer of ice that has formed. Therefore, one of the main conditions for the care of refrigerators is defrosting the freezer. Let's look at how to quickly defrost the freezer and consider ways to preserve the quality of products at the time of defrosting.

How to deal with products when defrosting the freezer

Before you defrost the freezer, you must remove the products from its containers. To preserve their quality and prevent them from being defrosted, waiting for the ice to defrost in the freezer, frozen foods can be left in the same containers, overlaid with pre-frozen ice. If there is such an opportunity, then you can ask your neighbors to allocate a small place in your refrigerator for a while.

In winter, of course, it is easier to solve this situation: it is enough just to put the food on the balcony.

Rapid Defrost Method

To date, the range of refrigerators and freezers is very large. Therefore, how to properly defrost the freezer, we suggest to consider the example of the Atlant refrigerator with the classical defrosting method.

1. First of all, it is necessary if there is a switch just turn off the fridgein case of its absence, it is necessary to disconnect the power cord from the power supply.

It is from this area and it is worth starting to defrost the freezer, because here the ice melts longer. For a start, you can walk with a sponge, having previously moistened it in hot water, and then it will be useful use a regular hairdryer. By treating the surface with warm water, we give the mesh holes a little free from the thick buildup of ice, and with the help of a hair dryer the hot air reaches the cooling tubes themselves.
   

5. When most of the ice mass is removed, it will be necessary to work a little more with the hair dryer, directing it to the places where the frozen unfrozen frost is the most. As soon as he has a little melted, we take wooden spatula and gently hook the so-called "ice coat."
   
6. Fallen off pieces of ice are removed either in the sink, or collected in a pre-prepared basin. We repeat this procedure until we free the walls of the chamber from ice completely.
7. Then do soap solution with dishwashing detergent and starting to wash the freezer. At the end, carefully wipe the camera to remove all moisture, and wipe dry with a clean towel.
