WARNING
Danger of explosion!
Improper handling of the appliance
may lead to an explosion.
Do not store explosive substances or
■
spray cans with flammable propel-
lants inside the appliance, as they
may cause ignitable gas-air mixtures
to explode.
CAUTION
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. Note
that the shelf life of frozen food may
be shortened due to a rise in the tem-
perature inside the appliance, e.g.
caused by cleaning or power failure.
Pay attention to the star classifica-
■
tions ( and
compartment and the resulting stor-
age periods for freezer products.
In case of prolonged power failure or
■
malfunction of the appliance, remove
the stored frozen food from the appli-
ance and store it in a sufficiently cool
place or in another refrigerating ap-
pliance (see „Product fiche concern-
ing Regulation (EU) No 1060/2010"
on page EN-43 for storage time in
case of malfunction).
) in the freezer
After a malfunction, check wheth-
■
er the stored food is still edible. Con-
sume thawed and defrosted foods
immediately; do not refreeze them
Risk of injury!
Improper handling of the appliance
may result in injury. Risk of burns caused
by low temperatures.
The food and the inside walls of the
■
freezer 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.
Let ice cubes or ice lollies thaw a lit-
■
tle before eating, do not put into your
mouth straight from the freezer.

Freezing food

Freezing means reducing the core tempera-
ture of fresh, room-temperature food to fro-
zen as quickly as possible – for best results,
"flash-frozen". If not cooled quickly enough,
the food will be 'killed by frost', i.e. the struc-
ture will be destroyed. A constant storage
temperature of -18° C is needed to maintain
the food's consistency, taste and nutritional
value.
If you are freezing a large quantity of
food at once, set "Quick freezing" 2
hours beforehand (see page EN-14). Be
sure to take note of the maximum
freezing capacity (see „Product fiche con-
cerning Regulation (EU) No 1060/2010" on
page EN-43).
• Place food you want to freeze on the glass
shelves (6), in the freezer drawers (7) and
(9), the wire rack (8) or in the 4-star door
shelves (1).
