ing transport, when setting up and
positioning.
■
Check that entry route and instal-
lation location are free of obstacles
(e.g. closed doors or objects lying on
the fl oor).
■
Freezer baskets, doors, etc. must not
be used as steps or for support pur-
poses.
■
Take care to prevent the risk of trip-
ping when laying the mains cord.
Health hazards with frozen food!
Incorrect handling, insuffi cient 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 fi sh
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
malfunction of the appliance, remove
the stored frozen food from the appli-
ance and store it in a suffi ciently cool
place or in another refrigerating ap-
pliance (see „Product fi che concern-
ing Regulation (EU) Nr. 1060/2010“
on page GB-23 for maximum storage
time in case of malfunction).
■
After a malfunction, check whether
the stored foodstuffs are still edible.
■
Consume thawed and defrosted
foods immediately, do not refreeze.
■
Use only drinking water to make ice
cubes.
The appliance may not operate proper-
ly if exposed to low ambient tempera-
tures for extended periods of time. This
can then lead to an increase in temper-
ature inside the appliance.
■
Abide by the specifi ed ambient tem-
perature (see “climate category” line
on page GB-23).
Health hazard!
Contaminated foods can cause health
problems.
■
Opening the door for long periods can
cause a signifi cant increase of the
temperature in the compartments of
the appliance.
■
Clean regularly surfaces that can
come in contact with food and acces-
sible drainage systems.
■
Two-star frozen-food compartments
are suitable for storing pre-frozen
food, storing or making ice-cream
and making ice cubes.
■
One-, two- and three-star compart-
ments are not suitable for the free-
zing of fresh food.
■
If the refrigerating appliance is left
empty for long periods, switch off,
defrost, clean, dry, and leave the door
open to prevent mould developing
within the appliance.
Risk of injury from frozen goods!
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 temper-
ature. Never touch them with wet
