Safety
Health hazard!
Contaminated food can cause health
problems.
Opening the door for long periods can
■
cause a significant 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.
Clean the water tank if it has not
■
been in use for 48 hours; rinse out the
water system if water has not been
dispensed for 5 days.
When storing raw meat or fish in the
■
refrigerator, put them in suitable con-
tainers to prevent them from coming
into contact with or dripping onto
other food.
Two-star freezer drawers are de-
■
signed for storing already-frozen food
and for storing or preparing ice cream
or ice cubes.
One-, two- and three-star drawers are
■
not designed for freezing 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, insufficient cool-
ing or overlapping items can spoil the
stored food. This could lead to a risk of
food poisoning when consumed!
Carefully pack raw meat, poultry and
■
fish in particular to ensure that adja-
cent food cannot be contaminated
by salmonella or similar bacteria.
Abide by the storage times recom-
■
mended by food manufacturers.
Pay attention to the star classifica-
■
tions (
and
compartment and the resulting stor-
age periods for freezer products.
Note that the shelf life of stored food
■
may be shortened due to a rise in the
temperature inside the appliance,
e.g. caused by defrosting, cleaning or
power failure.
In case of prolonged power failure
■
or malfunction of the appliance, re-
move the stored frozen food from
the appliance and store it in a suf-
ficiently cool place or in another re-
frigerating appliance. For the max.
storage time in case of malfunction,
see the „Product fiche concerning
Regulation (EU) No 1060/2010" on
page EN-43.
Remove the stored frozen food from
■
the appliance – even when only
switching off the appliance tempo-
rarily – and store it in a sufficiently
cool place or in another refrigerating
appliance.
After an interruption to the appli-
■
ance's operation, e.g. due to pow-
er failure, check whether the stored
foodstuffs are still edible. Consume
thawed and defrosted foods immedi-
ately, do not refreeze.
Use only drinking water to make ice
■
cubes.
