Health hazard!
The appliance may not operate proper-
ly if the ambient temperature exceeds
or falls below the specifi ed temperature
range for a prolonged period. This can
then lead to an increase in temperature
inside the appliance.
■
Always ensure the ambient tempera-
ture is kept within the specifi ed range
(see “Intended use” on page EN-4).
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!
■
Pay attention to the star classifi ca-
tions (
,
and
) in the
freezer and the resulting storage pe-
riods for freezer products
■
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 power failure, the frozen
food may remain suffi ciently cold for
some time. In case of prolonged pow-
er failure or malfunction of the appli-
ance, remove the stored frozen food
from the appliance and store it in a
suffi ciently cool place or in anoth-
er cooling appliance. The maximum
storage time in the event of a fault is
shown on the appliance’s type plate.
■
After a malfunction, check wheth-
er the stored food is still edible. Con-
sume thawed and defrosted foods
immediately, do not refreeze.
■
Use only potable water to make ice
cubes.
Risk of injury from frozen goods!
Improper handling of the appliance
may result in injury. There is a 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.
NOTICE
Fire hazard!
Improper handling of the appliance
can lead to fi re and property damage.
■
Only connect the appliance to a prop-
erly installed and earthed electric
socket.
■
Do not connect to a multi-socket ex-
tension cable or a multi-socket plug.
■
Do not position the appliance direct-
ly against the wall and adhere to the
minimum distances specifi ed (see
“Start-up” on page EN-11).
Risk of damage to property!
Improper handling of the appliance
can lead to property damage.
■
Do not store glass or metal contain-
ers containing water, lemonade, beer
etc. Water expands when frozen and
can burst the container.
■
The surface temperature of the evap-
orator is relatively low. Never place
unwrapped food directly on the sur-
face of the evaporator as it may
freeze to the evaporator. This can
cause damage to the food and the
