Risks when dealing with fridge
and freezer appliances
WARNING
Fire hazard!
Improper handling of the appliance can
lead to fi re and damage to property.
■
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.
■
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.
■
Store raw meat and fi sh in suitable
containers in the refrigerator, so that
it is not in contact with or drip onto
other food.
■
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 freez-
ing 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!
The appliance may not operate proper-
ly if the ambient temperature exceeds
or falls below the specifi ed temperature
range for a prolonged period. This can
then lead to an increase in temperature
inside the appliance.
■
Always ensure the ambient tempera-
ture is kept within the specifi ed range
(see "Intended use" on page EN-4).
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!
■
Pay attention to the star classifi ca-
tions (
and
) in the freezer
and the resulting storage periods for
freezer products
■
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).
■
If there is a power failure, the frozen
food may remain sufficiently cold for
some time (see "storage time in the
event of a power failure" on the type
plate of the appliance). In case of
prolonged power failure or malfunc-
tion of the appliance, remove the
stored frozen food from the appli-
ance and store it in a sufficiently cool
place or in another refrigerating ap-
pliance. The maximum storage time
in the event of a fault is shown on the
appliance’s type plate.
