  • Remove all food from the freezer and store in a cool place
  • Place a pan of boiling water in it to increase the temperature and collect the water produced during defrosting.
  • Close the freezer and wait for the ice to melt. This way, the heat from the boiling water will help melt the ice faster.
  • Open the freezer from time to time to let warm air in, which will also help the ice melt faster.
  • Remove any remaining ice with a cloth, towel or sharp object. Avoid using sharp or pointed objects as they may damage the freezer surface and cause injury.
  • Dry the freezer thoroughly.
  • Close the freezer and wait until the temperature inside the appliance returns to normal before putting the food back in.
