Warning!
Never use sharp metal tools to scrape
off frost from the evaporator as you could damage
it.
Do not use a mechanical device or 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.
