Brilio.net - Refrigerator freezers are usually used to store ice cubes, various drinks and ice cream. There are various forms of refrigerator freezers, one that is often used in shops is the showcase refrigerator freezer. Its shape, which is similar to a cupboard, means that this refrigerator freezer can be filled with a large number of drinks.
Even so, using a showcase refrigerator freezer is also not free from problems. Because over time, frost will accumulate between the shelves. If left alone, the buildup of frost will cause the freezer to run out of space.
Knowing this, most people deliberately douse the freezer with hot water. In fact, this method risks damaging the refrigerator freezer, you know.
To get around this, you can copy the method of cleaning frost shown by YouTube user Naura AP Official. In the video upload, this seller of various drinks only relies on two simple tools to melt the pile of ice in his showcase refrigerator freezer.
How to quickly clean frost in the freezer.
The first step, first remove all the contents of the refrigerator showcase freezer. The goal is to clean the inside of the freezer optimally.

If so, unplug the refrigerator freezer from the mains power. Then take two tools, namely a fan and a lamp. Place these two tools on one of the freezer shelves. Turn on the fan and lights. Without waiting long, the ice flower gradually melted by itself.
"Even though it's only been around 15 minutes, it's already melting," he said, quoted by BrilioFood from YouTube Naura AP Official on Monday (29/4).

Frost, also known as ice crystals, often appears in the freezer and can cause problems with stored food. Here are some common causes and ways to prevent frost from appearing in the freezer:
Reason:
1. Temperature changes.
Extreme temperature changes in the freezer, such as when the door is opened and closed frequently or when hot food is placed in the freezer, can cause ice crystals to form.
2. High humidity.
High humidity in the freezer can also cause ice crystals to form, especially if food is not stored properly or if the storage bag is not airtight.
3. Improper storage.
The way food is stored in the freezer can also affect the likelihood of ice crystals forming. Food that is not wrapped tightly or not properly sealed is more susceptible to the formation of ice crystals.
How to prevent:
1. Keep the temperature constant.
Try to keep the freezer temperature stable, around -18 degrees Celsius (-0.4 degrees Fahrenheit), by not opening the freezer door frequently or making sure the food put in the freezer is cold.
2. Wrap food tightly.
Make sure food is wrapped tightly before placing it in the freezer. Use airtight storage bags or airtight containers to prevent air from getting into the food.
3. Use an airtight container.
Use airtight plastic or glass containers to store food in the freezer. Make sure the container is equipped with a tight-fitting lid to prevent air from entering the container.
4. Avoid overcharging.
Avoid filling the freezer too full, as this can disrupt air circulation in the freezer and increase humidity.
5. Separate foods.
Separate foods in the freezer using storage bags or airtight containers to prevent direct contact between one food and another, which can cause moisture buildup.
By keeping your freezer in proper condition and storing food properly, you can prevent or reduce the possibility of frost forming in the freezer, maintain the quality of the food, and extend its shelf life.
