Safety
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.

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.
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.

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!
■ 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).
