n
Never use defrosting sprays to de-
frost. They can generate explosive
gases.
CAUTION
Risk of fire and health hazard!
The thermal insulation and the interior are
scratch and heat-sensitive and can melt
or catch fire. Plastics such as those used
in thermal insulation can release toxic
fumes if they melt or catch fire.
n
Do not use any electric heating equip-
ment, knives or devices with an open
flame such as candles.
n
Do not use electrical appliances inside
the food storage compartments of the
appliance, unless they are of the type
recommended by the manufacturer.

flames and hot surfaces.
Risks associated with using
refrigerators
WARNING

Improper handling of the appliance can
lead to fire and property damage.
n
Keep ventilation openings, in the ap-
pliance enclosure or in the built-in
structure, clear of obstruction.
CAUTION
Health hazard!
Contaminated food can cause health
problems.
n
Opening the door for long periods can
cause a significant increase of the
temperature in the compartments of
the appliance.
n
Clean regularly surfaces that can
come in contact with food and access-
ible drainage systems.
n
Store raw meat and fish in suitable
containers in the refrigerator so that it
is not in contact with or drip onto other

If the refrigerating appliance is left
empty for long periods, switch off, de-
frost, clean, dry, and leave the door
open to prevent mould developing
within the appliance.
CAUTION
Health hazard!
The appliance may not operate properly 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 ap-
pliance.
n
Always ensure the prescribed ambient
temperature is maintained (see the
chapter on “Intended use”).

Improper handling of the appliance can
lead to fire and property damage.
