Five minutes for your safety ...
Health hazard!
The appliance may not operate proper-
ly if the ambient temperature exceeds
or falls below the specified 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 specified range
(see ‘Intended use’ on page EN-4).
Incorrect handling, insufficient 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 classifications
(
) in the freezer and the resulting
storage periods for freezer products
• Note that the shelf life of the frozen
food may be shortened due to a rise in
the temperature inside the appliance
(from defrosting, cleaning or power
failure).
• If there is a mains 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 another re-
frigerating appliance. The maximum
storage time in the event of a fault is
shown on the appliance’s type plate.
• After a malfunction, check whether the
stored food is still edible. Consume
thawed and defrosted foods immedi-
ately, 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.
