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 fl amma-
ble propellant in this appliance, as
they can cause ignitable gas-air mix-
tures to explode.
CAUTION
Health hazard!
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!
■ In particular, pack raw meat and fi sh
carefully to ensure that adjacent
food cannot be contaminated by sal-
monella 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 appli-
ance (from defrosting, cleaning or
power failure).
■ If there is a power failure, the frozen
food may remain suffi ciently cold for
some time. The maximum storage
time in the event of a fault is shown
on the appliance's type plate.
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 suffi ciently cool
place or in another cooling appliance.
■ After a malfunction, check wheth-
er the stored food is still edible. Con-
sume thawed and defrosted foods
immediately, do not refreeze.
■ 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.
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.
NOTICE
Risk of damage to property!
Improper handling of the appliance
can lead to property damage.
■ The surface temperature of the evap-
orator is relatively low. Never place
unwrapped food directly on the sur-
face of the evaporator as it may
freeze to the evaporator. This can
cause damage to the food and the
evaporator or cause the evaporator
to detach from its holder.
Freezing food has a positive effect on its shelf
life. This will also help you avoid food waste.
• Follow the instructions in this chapter to
store your food for the longest possible
time in the best possible way.
