Effective freezer maintenance: defrosting without unplugging the appliance

Once your freezer is clean and defrosted, take a few simple steps to limit the formation of frost:

Check the condition of the door seals : A damaged seal lets in warm air and promotes condensation. A simple test with a piece of paper stuck in the door can check its condition: if it slides easily, it's time to replace the seal.
Organize your food wisely : Don't overload your freezer and leave space for cold air to circulate.
Avoid placing hot food in the refrigerator : The moisture they release encourages frost formation. It's best to cool them first.
Place a container of baking soda inside : This little trick absorbs moisture and limits the formation of ice.

Regular maintenance for maximum efficiency
Defrosting your freezer without unplugging it is a practical way to avoid the inconvenience of a prolonged power outage. With simple tricks like using heat or ventilation, you can effectively eliminate frost effortlessly. And by adopting a few preventative measures, you'll optimize your appliance's performance while reducing your energy bill.
