DO NOT store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a
flammable propellant in this appliance.
■
■
Never store volatile or flammable materials in your refrigerator as
they may explode.

■
Never freeze liquids in glass containers. Liquid expands during
freezing, which may cause the container to explode.
■
■
Never freeze carbonated drinks. They may explode.

Do not consume food if it is too cold. Food removed from the
freezer compartment may be cold enough to cause damage when
brought into contact with bare skin, eg frozen ice cubes.
Power failure – food safety

■
Do not refreeze frozen foods that have thawed completely. Follow
the recommendations below if you discover food in your freezer
has thawed:
1) Ice crystals still visible – food may be refrozen but should be
stored for a shorter period than recommended.
2) Thawed but refrigerator cold – refreezing generally not
recommended. Fruits and some cooked food can be refrozen but
use as soon as possible. Meat, fish, poultry – use immediately or
cook then refreeze. Vegetables – discard as they usually go limp
and soggy.
3) Thawed and warmer than 5°C (41°F) – discard all food.

Do not refreeze frozen foods that have thawed completely. The
food may be dangerous to eat.
