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 form ignitable gas-air mix-
tures.
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 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 fail-
ure).
■ 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 whether
the stored food is still edible. Consume
thawed and defrosted foods immedi-
ately, do not refreeze.
■ Two-star frozen-food compartments
are suitable for storing pre-frozen food,
storing or making ice-cream and mak-
ing ice cubes.
■ One-, two- and three-star compart-
ments are not suitable for the freezing
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.
