Almost all freezers have this “secret” element. That’s why it needs to be used once every 3 months

Instructions:

1. Empty the Freezer: Begin by removing all items from your freezer and placing them in a cooler or another suitable storage space.
2. Turn Off the Freezer: Locate the power cord of your freezer and unplug it from the electrical outlet to ensure safety during the defrosting process.
4. Open the Freezer Door: Fully open the door of the freezer to allow air to circulate freely and facilitate the melting of ice.
6. Prepare a Drainage Container: Place a shallow container, such as a bowl or baking tray, beneath the drainage valve or funnel located at the bottom of the freezer. Ensure the container is large enough to hold the melted ice.
7. Remove Ice Buildup: If there is excessive ice buildup on the walls or shelves of the freezer, gently chip away at it using a plastic scraper or spatula. Avoid using sharp objects that could damage the interior of the freezer.
8. Wait for the Ice to Melt: Allow the ice to naturally melt away at room temperature. This process may take several hours, depending on the amount of ice accumulated.
9. Dispose of Melted Water: Periodically check the drainage container to ensure it does not overflow. Once the ice has completely melted, carefully dispose of the collected water.
10. Clean the Freezer: Once the defrosting process is complete and the interior of the freezer is free from ice, use a mild detergent solution and a clean cloth to wipe down the surfaces and remove any remaining residue.
11. Dry the Interior: Thoroughly dry the interior of the freezer using a towel or paper towels to prevent the formation of new ice.
12. Plug In the Freezer: After ensuring that the interior is completely dry, plug the freezer back into the electrical outlet and close the door.
