Risks when dealing with fridge
and freezer appliances
WARNING
Fire hazard!
Improper handling of the appliance can
lead to fire and damage to property.
■ Keep ventilation openings, in the ap-
pliance enclosure or in the built-in
structure, clear of obstruction.
Danger of explosion!
Improper handling of chemical sub-
stances can lead to explosions.
■ Never use defrosting sprays to de-
frost. They can generate explosive
gases.
CAUTION
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.
■ Regularly clean surfaces that can
come in contact with food and open
drainage systems.
■ Store raw meat and fish in suitable
containers in the refrigerator, so that
it is not in contact with or drip onto
other food.
■ 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 freez-
ing 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!
The appliance may not operate proper-
ly if the ambient temperature exceeds
or falls below the specified temperature
range for a prolonged period. This can
then lead to an increase in temperature
inside the appliance.
■ Always ensure the ambient tempera-
ture is kept within the specified range
(see "Intended use" on page EN-4).
Incorrect handling, insufficient 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 classifica-
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 mains failure, the frozen
food may remain sufficiently cold for
