A thermally conductive metal surface (10) is arranged on the ceiling of such a container (2) and said PTC device (33) is positioned above said thermally conductive metal surface (10) in contact therewith. In a preferred manner, said PTC device (33) has a power rating of at least 200 W and is activated by a time-controlled device (17) adapted to cut off the power supply automatically after a pre-established period of time. <IMAGE>
