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 tem-
perature inside the appliance (from
defrosting, cleaning or power failure).
■
If there is a power failure, the frozen
food may remain sufficiently 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
sufficiently cool place or in anoth-
er refrigerating appliance. The max-
imum 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 drinking 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.
