Freezing foods, storing frozen foods

WARNING
Danger of explosion!
Improper handling of the appliance
may lead to an explosion.
■ Do not store explosive substances
such as aerosol cans with a flammable
propellant in this appliance, as they
can form ignitable gas-air mixtures.
CAUTION
Health hazard!
Incorrect handling, insufficient cooling
or overlapping items can spoil the
stored food. This could lead to a risk of
food poisoning when consumed.
■ In particular, pack raw meat and fish
carefully to ensure that adjacent
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 the frozen
food may be shortened due to a rise in
the temperature inside the appliance
(from defrosting, cleaning or power
failure).
■ If there is a mains failure, the frozen
food may remain sufficiently cold
for some time. In case of prolonged
power failure or malfunction of the
appliance, remove the stored frozen
food from the appliance and store
it in a sufficiently cool place or in
another refrigerating appliance. The
maximum storage time in the event
of a fault is shown on the appliance's
type plate.

er the stored food is still edible. Con-
sume thawed and defrosted foods
immediately, do not refreeze.
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 little
before eating, do not put into your
mouth straight from the freezer.
If there is not enough space within the
drawers of the freezer, you can
remove the drawers.
• Follow the instructions in this chapter to
store your food over the longest possible
time in the best possible way.
