In The Freezer - Miele F 456 i-1 Operating And Installation Manual

Do not refreeze thawed or partially
thawed food.
Defrosted food should be used up as
quickly as possible as food soon loses
it nutritional value and goes off. De-
frosted food may only be re-frozen after
it has been cooked.
Never store explosive materials in
the appliance. Switching on ther-
mostats may produce sparks which
could present a fire hazard. Danger of
explosion.
Do not store cans or bottles con-
taining carbonated drinks or liquids
which could freeze in the freezer. The
cans or bottles could explode.
Danger of injury and damage to the ap-
pliance.
When cooling drinks quickly in the
freezer make sure bottles are not
left in for more than one hour, otherwise
they could burst. Danger of injury and
damage to the appliance.
Observe the "use by" dates given
on food to avoid the risk of food
poisoning. Storage times will depend
on several factors including the fresh-
ness and quality of the food as well as
the temperature at which it is stored.
Follow the instructions given on food
manufacturer's packaging on storage
conditions required as well as the "use
by" date.

Do not use sharp edged objects to
– remove frost and ice,
– separate frozen foods and remove
ice trays.
They will damage the evaporator caus-
ing irreversible damage to the appli-
ance.
Never place electric heaters or
candles in the appliance to defrost
it. These can damage the plastic parts.
Do not use defrosting sprays, or
de-icers as they could contain sub-
stances which could damage the plas-
tic parts and which may cause the build
up of gases and pose a danger to
health.
Do not use any oils or grease on
the door seals. These cause the
seals to deteriorate and become po-
rous with time.
Do not block the ventilation gaps in
the plinth or the top of the appli-
ance housing unit as this would impair
the efficiency of the appliance, increase
the electricity consumption and could
cause damage to the appliance.
