Health hazard!
Incorrect handling, insufficient 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 fish
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.
■
In the event of power failure, if possi-
ble store food in a cool place.
■
After a power failure, check whether
the stored food is still edible.
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.
■
Observe the specified ambient tem-
perature (see “Climate category” line
on page GB-24).
Risk of damage!
Improper handling of the appliance
can lead to property damage.
■
Do not use the door to pull or lift the
appliance.
■
The appliance must only be placed on
a level and firm surface. The surface
must be strong enough to support the
appliance’s weight when fully laden.
■
Do not use sharp or pointed objects
to unpack it.
■
When unpacking the appliance, nev-
er damage the insulation material on
the back of the appliance.
■
Do not use any electrical parts inside the
appliance that do not conform to the
manufacturer’s recommended design.
■
Do not use any mechanical devices or
means other than those recommend-
ed by the manufacturer.
■
The interior light must only be used to
illuminate the interior of the appliance.
It is not suitable for lighting a room.
■
Do not store glass or metal contain-
ers containing water, lemonade, beer
etc. Water expands when frozen and
can burst the container.
■
Defrost the appliance in a timely
manner, before it forms a layer of ice
and frost of more than 4 mm. Exces-
sive ice formation increases power
consumption and the freezer com-
partment door may no longer close
tightly.
■
Do not use any means other than
those recommended by the manufac-
turer to speed up defrosting. For ex-
ample, do not use any electric heat-
ing equipment, knives or devices with
an open flame such as a candle. The
thermal insulation and the interior
are scratch and heat-sensitive and
can melt.
■
When cleaning, please note:
–
Never use harsh, granular, soda,
acid, solvent-based or abrasive
cleaners. These attack the plastic
surfaces. All-purpose cleaners with
a neutral pH are recommended.
–
Door seals and plastic parts are
sensitive to oil and grease. Remove
contaminants as quickly as possi-
ble.
–
Only use soft cloths.
■
Wait 5 minutes after switching off.
Only then switch the appliance on
again.
■
Only use original accessories.
