WARNING
Danger of explosion!
Improper handling of the appliance
may lead to an explosion.
■
Do not store explosive substances or
spray cans with flammable propel-
lants inside the appliance, as they
may cause ignitable gas-air mixtures
to explode.
WARNING
■
Incorrect handling, insufficient cool-
ing or overlapping items can spoil the
stored food. This could lead to a risk
of food poisoning when consumed!
■
In particular, pack raw meat and fish
carefully to ensure that adjacent
food cannot be contaminated by sal-
monella or similar bacteria.
■
Abide by the storage times recom-
mended by food manufacturers.
■
Note that the shelf life of the frozen
food may be shortened due to a rise
in the temperature inside the appli-
ance (from defrosting, cleaning or
power failure).
■
In case of prolonged power failure
or appliance malfunction, remove
stored frozen food from the appli-
ance and store it in a sufficiently cool
place or in another refrigerating ap-
pliance (maximum storage time in
case of malfunction: 16 hours).
■
After a malfunction, check wheth-
er the stored food is still edible. Con-
sume thawed and defrosted foods
immediately; do not refreeze.
■
Use only drinking water to make ice
cubes.
CAUTION
Risk of injury!
Improper handling of the appliance
may result in injury. Risk of burns caused
by low temperatures.
■
The food and the inside walls of the
freezer have a very low temperature.
Never touch them with wet hands.
This can cause injury to the skin.
Skin damage can occur even with dry
skin.
■
Let ice cubes or ice lollies thaw a lit-
tle before eating, do not put into your
mouth straight from the freezer.
Freezing food
Freezing means reducing the core tempera-
ture of fresh, room-temperature food to fro-
zen as quickly as possible – for best results,
“flash-frozen”. If not cooled quickly enough,
the food will be ‘killed by frost’, i.e. the struc-
ture will be destroyed. A constant storage
temperature of -18° C is needed to maintain
the food’s consistency, taste and nutritional
value.
If you are freezing a large quantity of
food at once, set “Super freeze”
2 hours beforehand (see page EN-14).
Be sure to take note of the maximum
freezing capacity (see “Product fiche con-
cerning EU Directive no. 1060/2010“ on
page EN-40).
