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!
■
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. Note
that the shelf life of frozen food may
be shortened due to a rise in the tem-
perature inside the appliance, e.g.
caused by cleaning or power failure.
■
Pay attention to the star classifica-
tions (
and
) in the freezer
compartment and the resulting stor-
age periods for freezer products.
■
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 (see „Product fiche concern-
ing Regulation (EU) No 1060/2010“
on page EN-43 for storage time in
case of malfunction).
■
After a malfunction, check wheth-
er the stored food is still edible. Con-
sume thawed and defrosted foods
immediately; do not refreeze them
.
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.
Freezing food
Freezing means reducing the core tempera-
ture of fresh, room-temperature food to fro-
zen as quickly as possible – for best results,
“flash-frozen”. If not cooled quickly enough,
the food will be ‘killed by frost’, i.e. the struc-
ture will be destroyed. A constant storage
temperature of -18° C is needed to maintain
the food’s consistency, taste and nutritional
value.
If you are freezing a large quantity of
food at once, set “Quick freezing” 2
hours beforehand (see page EN-14). Be
sure to take note of the maximum
freezing capacity (see „Product fiche con-
cerning Regulation (EU) No 1060/2010“ on
page EN-43).
• Place food you want to freeze on the glass
shelves (6), in the freezer drawers (7) and
(9), the wire rack (8) or in the 4-star door
shelves (1).
