In The Freezer - Miele GT 262 ES Operating And Installation Manual

Do not store cans or bottles con-
taining carbonated drinks or
liquids which could freeze in the
freezer. The cans or bottles could ex-
plode. Danger of injury and damage to
the appliance.
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 and
the appliance will not be able to be
used again (total damage).
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 no use any grease or oil on the
seal of the freezer lid. These cause
8
the seal to become porous in the
course of time.
Do not block the ventilation gap in
the appliance as this would impair
the efficiency of the appliance, in-
crease the electricity consumption and
could cause damage to the appliance.
The appliance is designed for use
within certain climate ranges (am-
bient temperatures). It must not be
used in ranges for which it is not de-
signed. The climate range for your ap-
pliance is stated on the data plate in-
side the appliance. Installing it in a
room with too low an ambient tempera-
ture will lead to the appliance switching
off for longer periods so that it cannot
maintain the required temperature.
Never use steam cleaning ap-
paratus to defrost or clean the ap-
pliance. The steam could attack the
electrical components and cause a
short circuit.
In countries where there are areas
which may be subject to infesta-
tion by cockroaches or other vermin,
pay particular attention to keeping the
appliance and its surroundings in a
clean condition at all times.
Any damage which may be caused by
cockroaches or other vermin will not be
covered by the appliance guarantee.
