WARNING
Danger of explosion!
Improper handling of the appliance
can lead to explosions.
■
Do not store explosive substances or
spray cans with fl ammable propel-
lants inside the appliance, as they
may cause ignitable gas-air mixtures
to explode.
CAUTION
Health hazard!
Contaminated food can cause health
problems.
■
Do not leave the doors open for an
unnecessarily long time. This may
cause the temperature in the appli-
ance to rise considerably.
■
Clean regularly surfaces that can
come in contact with food and acces-
sible drainage systems.
■
Store raw meat and fi sh in suitable
containers in the refrigerator, so that
it does not come into contact with or
drip onto other food.
■
If the fridge-freezer is left empty for
long periods, pull the mains plug out
of the socket, clean the appliance and
then leave the doors open. Otherwise,
mould may form.

• To achieve the most efficient use of ener-
gy for your appliance, combine the draw-
ers, glass shelves and door shelves as
shown in the figure on page EN-12.
• A temperature setting that is too high or
too low can reduce the shelf life of your
food. This leads to greater food waste.
• Set the temperature in the fridge to +6 °C
and fill the fridge in such a way that the
temperature conditions inside are opti-
mally utilised, guaranteeing optimal food
storage.
• The following tips show you how you can
store foods in your appliance to keep
them in the best possible condition over
the longest possible period. This will
mean that you avoid food waste:
– Place spreadable butter and cheese on
the upper door shelf (3) in the fridge. This
is where the temperature is warmest.
– Store preserves, jars and eggs on the
middle door shelf. Eggs are best stored
on the supplied egg tray.
– Place drinks cartons and bottles in the
large lower door shelves. Position full
containers closer to the hinge in order to
reduce the strain on the door.
– Place cooked and baked foods on the
glass shelves (8).
