Note that the shelf life of stored food
may be shortened due to a rise in the
temperature inside the appliance e.g.
because of 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.

burns caused by low temperatures.
■
The food and the inside walls of the
freezer compartment have a very low
