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 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).
■
Remove the stored frozen food from
the appliance – even when only
switching off the appliance tempo-
rarily – and store it in a suffi ciently
cool place or in another refrigerating
appliance.
■
Consume thawed and defrosted
foods immediately, do not refreeze.
■
After a possible power failure, check
whether the stored foodstuffs are still
edible.
■
Use only drinking water to make ice
cubes.
The appliance may not operate proper-
ly if exposed to low ambient tempera-
tures for extended periods of time. This
can then lead to an increase in temper-
ature inside the appliance.
■
Abide by the specifi ed ambient tem-
perature (see ‘Climate categories’
line on see EN-28).
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
appliance are at a very low temper-
ature. Never touch them with wet
hands. This can cause injury to the
skin. Skin damage can occur even
with dry skin.
■
Do not put ice cubes or ice cream
straight into your mouth from the ap-
pliance.
