Risks in handling freezers
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.
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.
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 "In-
tended 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!
In particular, pack raw meat and fi sh
■
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.
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, 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.
