the technical data provides you with
the storage times for frozen food in
the event of a fault.

possible during a power failure
and do not place any other food in
the appliance.

Check the quality of the food
immediately after a power failure.

Dispose of any frozen food that
has defrosted and is hotter than

frozen food, and then either con-
sume it or freeze it again.
