Storing food and drinks
• Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol
cans with a flammable propellant in this appliance.
• Never store volatile or flammable materials in your
refrigerator as they may explode.
• Never freeze liquids in glass containers. Liquid
expands during freezing, which may cause the
container to explode.
• Never freeze carbonated drinks. They may explode.
• Do not consume food if it is too cold. Food removed
from the freezer compartment may be cold enough
to cause damage when brought into contact with
bare skin, eg frozen ice cubes.
Power failure — food safety
• Do not refreeze frozen foods that have thawed
completely. The food may be dangerous to eat.
Follow the recommendations below if you discover
food in your freezer has thawed:
– Ice crystals still visible — food may be refrozen
but should be stored for a shorter period than
recommended.
– Thawed but refrigerator cold — refreezing
generally not recommended. Fruits and some
cooked food can be refrozen but use as soon as
possible. Meat, fish, poultry — use immediately or
cook then refreeze. Vegetables — discard as they
usually go limp and soggy.
– Thawed and warmer than 5°C — discard all food.
