Excessive frost buildup reduces cooling efficiency and wastes energy. Instead of tedious scraping, try this safe defrosting method that professionals use.

Step-by-Step Defrosting Method

  1. Unplug the refrigerator for safety
  2. Remove all food items and place in cooler
  3. Boil 2 cups of water (about 95°C/200°F)
  4. Place heatproof bowl on middle shelf
  5. Close door and wait 5-7 minutes

How It Works
The steam from hot water:

  • Softens frost structure
  • Loens ice adhesion
  • Creates uniform melting

Aftercare Process

  1. Wipe away water with clean towels
  2. Dry all surfaces completely
  3. Plug back in after 10 minutes

Prevention Tips

  • Check door seals monthly
  • Avoid placing hot food inside
  • Maintain -18°C (0°F) freezer temp

Safety Warning
Never use sharp objects or hairdryers - they can damage coolant lines. For thick ice over 2cm, repeat the process.

This energy-efficient trick saves hours of manual work while protecting your appliance. Perform monthly for optimal performance!
