WARNING
Danger of explosion!
Improper handling of the appliance
may lead to an explosion.
■
Do not store explosive substances or
spray cans with flammable propel-
lants inside the appliance, as they
may cause ignitable gas-air mixtures
to explode.
CAUTION
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!
■
Opening the door for long periods can
cause a significant increase of the
temperature in the compartments of
the appliance.
■
Store raw meat and fish in suitable
containers in the refrigerator, so that
it is not in contact with or drip onto
other food.
■
Clean regularly surfaces that can
come in contact with food and acces-
sible drainage systems
■
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
■
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).
■
If there is a mains failure, the frozen
food may remain sufficiently cold for
some time. The maximum storage
time in the event of a fault is shown
on the appliance’s type plate.
■
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 sufficiently cool
place or in another refrigerating ap-
pliance.
■
After a malfunction, check wheth-
er the stored food is still edible. Con-
sume thawed and defrosted foods
immediately, do not refreeze.
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 have a very low temperature.
Never touch them with wet hands.
This can cause injury to the skin. Skin
damage can occur even with dry skin.
■
Let ice cubes or ice lollies thaw a lit-
tle before eating, do not put into your
mouth straight from the freezer.
If there is not enough space within the
drawers of the fridge, you can remove
the drawers.
• Follow the instructions in this chapter to
store your food over the longest possible
time in the best possible way.
