Hoiw Pmon?trq*ion N?wi Home Freezer Owners Should Check Units By FLOY G. GARNER Home Agent In preparation for the spring and summer fruits and vegetables, home freeter owners should take time out now to check their freez ers. Quantities of fruits and vege tables should be relatively low in the freeier now, and it would probably be the ideal time for defrosting. Defrosting should be done be fore there is more than Vi inch of frost over a consider able a r e ^ of the refrigerated surfaces. Ordi- - narily defrost- , inp about once a year is suffi cient. If humid Floy G. Garner lty is high or if the freezer is opened often, another defrosting or two during the year may be called for. If possible, choose a time for defrosting when the quan tity of food in the freezer is rela tively low. Frost and ice on freezer liners and dividers mean that the com pressor on your freezer is having to do extra work. The thicker the deposit, the more the compressor has to run to maintain the required temperature. A deposit of frost alone can be removed while the freezer is in operation, by scraping the sur faces. If the freezer is not too full, food packages need not be taken out; they can be moved from one part of the freezer to another as work progresses. How to Do It Special scraping tools are on the market, or a broad stiff spatula, a putty knife, or a sharp-edged wooden paddle may be used. The frost can be caught on papers, cardboard, or cloths as it is scraped from walls or vertical di viders, or collected from the bot tom of the freezer with a dustpan and whisk broom. If dustpan and broom are kept cold, the frost will not melt, as it comes in contact with them. Frost I on refrigerated shelves can be ! scraped directly out of the freezer. Drawers in a freezer are generally removable to give access to the side walls. If the deposit contains ice, or if J a complete job of cleaning is need- . ed the following procedure is rec ommended. Remove all food packages and t disconnect the freezer. Place the ] packages on trays or in baskets that have been thoroughly cooled in the freezer. Pile the packages { as compactly as possible to re duce the amount of exposed sur face, and cover with chilled blan- ! kets or other insulating materials , such as newspapers. Scraping Helps , Scrape as much frost as possible from the surfaces so there will be less to melt off. If the freezer has a drain, run cold water over the refrigerated surfaces to hasten the melting. Hot water should never be used, II refrigerant preuure would be built up io the evaporator and cauae difficulty in starting the compressor. An electric (an placed so it will blow room air into the freezer or cold air out will help in melting the ice. Removing the ice from the surface at intervals, as it loosens, speeds the defrosting pro cess. Do not chip it off with an ice pick or other sharp tool that might damage the coils. While defrosting is going on, wipe up water from melting fr?t and ice with cloths, and clean the tionrcfrigerated surfaces. After de frosting and cleaning are com pleted, connect the freezer and let it run half an hour or so to bring the. temperature down somewhat before putting the food back in. Take Inventory When returning the food to the Freezer, it is a good idea to take an inventory and place older pack ages at the front or top or ear mark them in some way for first use. When a freezer fails to operate, the difficulty may be in the mecha nism or in the electric circuit. The first thing to do is to look for clues as to what may be wrong.
