WARNING
Danger of explosion!
Improper handling of the appliance
may lead to an explosion.
■
Do not store explosive substances or
spray cans with fl ammable propel-
lants inside the appliance, as they
may cause ignitable gas-air mixtures
to explode.
CAUTION
Health hazard!
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!
■
In particular, pack raw meat and fi sh
carefully to ensure that adjacent
food cannot be contaminated by sal-
monella or similar bacteria.
■
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 suffi ciently cold for
a few hours. 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 appliance malfunction, remove
stored frozen food from the appliance
and store it in a suffi ciently cool place
or in another refrigerating appliance.
■
After a malfunction, check wheth-
er the stored food is still edible. Con-
sume thawed and defrosted foods
immediately, do not refreeze.
■
Two-star freezer drawers are de-
signed for storing already-frozen food
and for storing or preparing ice cream
or ice cubes.
■
One-, two- and three-star drawers are
not designed for freezing fresh food.
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 compartment 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 area.
• Follow the instructions in this chapter to
store your food over the longest possible
time in the best possible way.
If there is not enough space on or
under the glass shelf (6) in the freezer
compartment, you can remove the shelf.
If there is not enough space within the
drawers of the fridge compartment,
you can remove the drawers.
