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).
■
In case of prolonged power failure
or appliance malfunction, remove
stored frozen food from the appli-
ance and store it in a suffi ciently cool
place or in another refrigerating ap-
pliance (maximum storage time in
case of malfunction: 34 hours).
■
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.
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.
■
Always adhere to the prescribed
ambient temperature (see “climate
classes” in the data sheet at the end
of this user manual).
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 area.
NOTICE
Risk of damage
If the appliance has been transported
horizontally, lubricant from the com-
pressor may make its way into the cool-
ing circuit.
■
Only transport the appliance in a ver-
tical position.
■
Allow the cooling unit to stand up-
right for 2 hours before start-up. The
lubricant will fl ow back into the com-
pressor during this time.
Improper handling of the appliance
can lead to property damage.
■
Do not pull or lift the appliance by
the doors.
■
The appliance must only be placed
on a level and fi rm surface. The sur-
face must be strong enough to sup-
port the appliance’s weight when ful-
ly laden.
■
Do not use sharp or pointed objects
to unpack it.
