any artificial means to speed up the thawing
process other than those recommended by
the manufacturer. A temperature rise of the
frozen food packs, during defrosting, may
shorten their safe storage life.
The amount of frost on the walls of the
appliance will be increased by the high level of
the outer environment humidity and if the
frozen food is not wrapped properly.

somebody to check it once in a while to
prevent the food inside from spoiling in case of
a power failure.
Only a qualified electrician or competent
person must do the troubleshooting that is not
in this manual.
