Safety
Danger of explosion!
Improper handling of chemical sub-
stances can lead to explosions.
Never use defrosting sprays to de-
■
frost. They can generate explosive
gases.
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
they do not come into 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 (
) 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 mains failure, the frozen
■
food may remain suffi ciently cold for
some time. In case of prolonged pow-
er failure or malfunction of the appli-
ance, remove the stored frozen food
from the appliance and store it in a
suffi ciently cool place or in anoth-
er refrigerating appliance. The max-
imum storage time in the event of
a fault is shown on the appliance's
type plate.
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.
