Correct use
~
Do not handle frozen food with wet
hands. Your hands may freeze to the
frozen food. Danger of frost burn.
~
Do not take ice cubes out with your
bare hands and never place ice cubes
or ice lollies in your mouth straight from
the freezer.
The very low temperature of the frozen
ice or lollies can cause frost burn to the
lips and tongue.
~
Do not refreeze partially or fully
defrosted food. Consume defrosted
food as soon as possible, as it will lose
its nutritional value and spoil if left for
too long. Defrosted food may only be
re-frozen after it has been cooked.
~
Do not store explosive materials in
the appliance or any products
containing propellants (e.g. spray
cans). Thermostats switching on may
produce sparks which could present a
fire hazard. Flammable compounds
could explode.
~
Do not operate any electrical
equipment (e.g. an electric ice-cream
maker) inside the appliance. Danger of
sparking and explosion.
~
If storing alcohol with a high
percentage proof in the refrigerator,
make sure the bottle is tightly closed
and stored upright. Danger of
explosion.
~
Do not store cans or bottles
containing carbonated drinks or liquids
which could freeze in the freezer. The
cans or bottles could explode. 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 freshness and
quality of the food as well as the
temperature at which it is stored. Follow
the instructions given on the food
manufacturer's packaging regarding
storage conditions and "use-by" dates.
~
Do not use sharp edged objects to
– remove frost and ice,
– separate frozen foods and remove
ice trays.
They will damage the evaporator,
causing irreversible damage to the
appliance.
~
Do not place electric heaters or
candles in the appliance to defrost it.
These will damage the plastic parts.
~
Do not use defrosting sprays or
de-icers, as they might contain
substances which could damage the
plastic parts or which could cause the
build-up of gases and pose a danger to
health.
