■
One-, two- and three-star compart-
ments are not suitable for the freez-
ing of fresh food.
■
If the refrigerating appliance is left
empty for long periods, switch off,
defrost, clean, dry, and leave the door
open to prevent mould developing
within the appliance.
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-5).
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!
■
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 power failure, the frozen
food may remain suffi ciently cold for
some time (see “storage time in the
event of a power failure’ on the type
plate of the appliance). In case of
prolonged power failure or malfunc-
tion of the appliance, remove the
stored frozen food from the appli-
ance and store it in a suffi ciently cool
place or in another refrigerating ap-
pliance. The maximum 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 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 com-
partment.
NOTICE
Fire hazard!
Improper handling of the appliance
can lead to fi re and property damage.
■
Connect the appliance only to a prop-
erly installed and earthed electric
socket.
■
Do not connect to a multi-socket ex-
tension cable or a multi-socket plug.
■
Do not position the appliance directly
against the wall and adhere to mini-
mum distances (see ‘Choosing a suit-
able location’ on page EN-21).
