Base, drawers, door etc. must not be
■
used as steps or for support purposes.
Do not place heavy objects on the ap-
■
pliance, as they could fall down and
cause injuries.
Lay the mains cord out in such a way
■
that it does not pose a tripping haz-
ard.
Health hazard!
Contaminated foods 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.
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 free-
zing 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!
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.
Safety
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).
In case of prolonged power failure
■
or appliance malfunction, remove
stored frozen food from the appliance
and store it in a suffi ciently cool place
or in another freezer (maximum stor-
age time in case of malfunction: 16
hours).
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.
The appliance may not operate proper-
ly if exposed to low ambient tempera-
tures for extended periods of time. This
can then lead to an increase in temper-
ature inside the appliance.
Always abide by the prescribed am-
■
bient temperature (see the 'Climate
class' line on page EN-24).
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 frozen food and the inside walls
■
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.
