ENGLISH WIKIPEDIA - THE FREE ENCYCLOPEDIA
Defrosting
Defrosting (or thawing) is a procedure, performed periodically on refrigerators and freezers to maintain their operating efficiency. Over time, as the door is opened and closed, letting in new air, water vapour from the air condenses on the cooling elements within the cabinet. It also refers to leaving frozen food at a higher temperature prior to cooking. The resulting ice inhibits heat transfer out of the cabinet increasing running costs. Furthermore as the ice builds up it takes increasing space from within the cabinet - reducing the space available for food storage. Defrosting the unit is achieved by:-Temporarily removing all food from the cabinet.Turning off power to the unit.Leaving the doors to the unit openWaiting for the ice to melt and draining it appropriately. Using a towel is advisable when completing this step.
