Freezing foods / storing frozen foods
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!
Contaminated foods can cause health
problems.
■
Opening the door for long periods can
cause a signifi cant increase of the
temperature in the compartments of
the appliance.
■
Clean regularly surfaces that can
come in contact with food and acces-
sible drainage systems.
■
Two-star frozen-food compartments
are suitable for storing pre-frozen
food, storing or making ice-cream
and making ice cubes.
■
One-, two- and three-star compart-
ments are not suitable for the free-
zing 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!
Incorrect handling, insuffi cient cool-
ing or overlapping items can spoil the
stored frozen 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 fro-
zen 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 the frozen
food may be shortened due to a rise
in the temperature inside the appli-
ance (from defrosting, cleaning or
power failure).
■
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 freezer (maximum stor-
age time in case of malfunction: 16
hours).
■
After a malfunction, check wheth-
er the stored frozen food is still edi-
ble. Consume thawed and defrosted
foods immediately, do not refreeze.
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 frozen food and the inside walls
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.
