A cold-storage appliance includes an open-topped insulating container defining
an external surface; an insulating lid adapted to close the open top of the container;
a cooling means adapted to cool the interior of the container; and a structure
supporting the container, the lid and the cooling means; wherein the container
is mounted to the structure for movement relative to the structure and the lid
to open the container and afford access to its interior or to close the container.
A circulating fan or a heater creates air currents to warm the external surfaces
of the bin or heating elements can be used to warm the external surfaces of the bin.
