IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
10
Risk of injury. Do not take ice cubes out with your bare hands and
never place ice cubes or ice pops in your mouth straight from the
freezer section. The very low temperature of the frozen food can
cause frost burn to the lips and tongue.
Do not refreeze partially or fully defrosted food. Consume de-
frosted food as soon as possible, as it will lose its nutritional value
and spoil if left for too long. Defrosted food may only be refrozen af-
ter it has been cooked.
When eating stored food, there is a danger of food poisoning.
Storage times will depend on several factors, including the freshness
and quality of the food, as well as the temperature at which it is
stored. Observe the manufacturer's “use-by” dates and storage in-
structions.
Use only genuine original Miele parts. If parts or accessories from
other manufacturers are used, the warranty may become invalid.
Cleaning and maintenance
Do not use any oil or grease on the door seals.
They can cause the seals to deteriorate over time.
Never use a steam cleaner to clean the appliance.
The steam can reach the electrical components and cause a short
circuit.
Sharp edged or pointed objects will damage the evaporator, caus-
ing irreversible damage to the appliance. Do not use sharp edged or
pointed objects to
– remove frost or ice,
– separate frozen foods or remove ice trays.
Never place electric heaters or candles in the appliance to defrost
it. These can damage the plastic parts.
