Freezing and storing frozen food
WARNING
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 unit have a very low tem-
perature. Never touch them with
wet hands. This can cause injury
to the skin. Skin damage can occur
even with dry skin.
Do not put ice cubes or ice lollies straight from
the freezer into your mouth.
Danger of explosion!
Improper handling of the appliance
can lead to explosions.
• Do not store explosive substances
or spray cans with flammable pro-
pellants inside the appliance, as
they may cause ignitable gas-air
mixtures to explode.
• Do not freeze any fizzy drinks; wa-
ter expands when frozen.
• Do not store glass or metal contain-
ers of liquid. The containers could
break.
• Only freeze high-proof alcohol that
is tightly sealed.
Health hazard!
Contaminated food can cause health
problems.
• Opening the door for long periods
can cause a significant increase
of the temperature in the compart-
ments of the appliance.
• Clean regularly surfaces that can
come in contact with food and ac-
cessible drainage systems.
• If the fridge/freezer is left empty for
long periods, switch off, defrost,
clean, dry, and leave the door open
to prevent mould developing within
the appliance.
Health hazard!
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 adja-
cent food cannot be contaminated
by salmonella or similar bacteria.
• Abide by the storage times recom-
mended by food manufacturers.
Note that the shelf life of the fro-
zen food may be shortened due to
a rise in the temperature inside the
appliance (from defrosting, clean-
ing or power failure).
• Remove the stored frozen food
from the appliance – even when
only switching off the appliance
temporarily – and store it in a suffi-
ciently cool place or in another re-
frigerating appliance.
• After a possible power failure, check
whether the stored foodstuffs are
still edible. The maximum storage
time in the event of a malfunction
can be found on the type plate of
the appliance.
• Consume thawed and defrosted
foods immediately; do not refreeze.
• Follow the instructions in this chapter to
store your food over the longest possible
time in the best possible way.
