    I usually turn it off remove everything from the freezer boil some water in a kettle and place it in a saucepan in the freezer to loosen up the ice. I then try to remove as much ice as I can (I enjoy this bit) but be carefull as you need something blunt as not to damage the inside of the freezer, also keep some rags/old newspaper handy for mopping up the water from the melted ice.

    You could also hack of some ice place it into a glass add some vodka, archers, orange and cranberry juice ;o))))

    I use the jet attachment of a steam cleaner. Does the job in no time flat. Used to use a fan heater but that was much slower.
