Health hazard!
Contaminated food can cause health
problems.
■
If the door to the refrigerator is left
open for an extended period of time,
the temperature inside the appli-
ance’s drawers can rise significantly.
■
Clean the surfaces that can come in-
to contact with food and all accessi-
ble parts of the outlet system on a
regular basis.
■
Clean the water tank if it has not
been in use for 48 hours; rinse out the
water system if water has not been
dispensed for 5 days.
■
Store raw meat and fish in suitable
containers in the refrigerator that
prevent it from coming into contact
with or dripping on other food.
■
Two-star freezer drawers are de-
signed for storing already-frozen food
and for storing or preparing ice cream
or ice cubes.
■
One-, two- and three-star drawers are
not designed for freezing 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.
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!
■
Carefully pack raw meat, poultry and
fish in particular to ensure that adja-
cent food cannot be contaminated
by salmonella or similar bacteria.
■
Abide by the storage times recom-
mended by food manufacturers.
■
Pay attention to the star classifica-
tion (
and
) in the freezer
compartment and the resulting stor-
age periods for freezer products.
■
Note that the shelf life of stored food
may be shortened due to a rise in the
temperature inside the appliance e.g.
because of 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 (see "Product fiche concern-
ing EU Directive no. 1060/2010“ on
page GB-45)” for maximum storage
time in case of malfunction).
■
Remove the stored frozen food from
the appliance – even when only
switching off the appliance tempo-
rarily – and store it in a sufficiently
cool place or in another refrigerating
appliance.
■
After a malfunction, e.g. a possi-
bloe power faiure check whether the
stored food is still edible. Consume
thawed and defrosted foods immedi-
ately, do not refreeze.
■
Use only drinking water to make ice
cubes.
The water filter can only filter out float-
ing particles from the water. It does not
destroy bacteria or microbes.
■
Only connect to the drinking water
supply.
