Water temperature should not be too high, so as not to cause damage to the inner wall of the deep freezer. Use a watering can to spray the frost in the cabinet. The warm water will quickly come into contact with the frost and make it melt. In the spraying process, you can also dry cloth wipe, speed up the defrosting speed. To pay attention to control the strength and direction of water spray, to avoid water splashing on the electrical components of the deep freezer, so as not to cause short circuit and other safety problems.
