Safety
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 prescribed ambi-
ent temperature is maintained (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 power failure, the frozen
food may remain suffi ciently cold for
some time (see "storage time in the
event of a power failure" on the type
plate of the appliance). In case of pro-
longed power failure or malfunction
of the appliance, remove the stored
frozen food from the appliance and
store it in a suffi ciently cool place or
in another cooling appliance.
■ After a malfunction, check wheth-
er the stored food is still edible. Con-
sume thawed and defrosted foods
immediately and do not refreeze.
■ Use only potable water to make ice
cubes.
Risk of injury from frozen goods!
Improper handling of the appliance
may result in injury. There is a risk of
burns caused by low temperatures.
■ The food and the inside walls of the
freezer have a very low temperature.
Never touch them with wet hands.
This can cause injury to the skin. Skin
damage can occur even with dry skin.
■ Let ice cubes or ice lollies thaw a lit-
tle before eating, do not put into your
mouth straight from the freezer.
Risk of injury!
The frozen food's very low temperatures
can freeze the hands, lips or tongue.
■ Do not put ice cubes, crushed ice or
ice lollies straight into your mouth
from the freezer.
■ Do not touch the frozen food and
freezer's interior walls with wet hands.
