Keep ventilation openings clear of obstruction to ensure proper operation. The appliance is intended for storing food and beverages in a normal household setting. Do not use mechanical devices to speed up the thawing process, and avoid using unapproved electrical appliances inside the refrigerator.

Defrosting and Storage
