Important safety instructions

Storing food and drinks

Never store volatile/flammable materials or solvents in your appliance as they may explode or adversely react with materials in this appliance.

Never freeze liquids in glass containers. Liquid expands during freezing, which may cause the container to explode.

Never freeze carbonated drinks. They may explode.

Do not consume food if it is too cold. Frozen food may be cold enough to cause damage when brought into contact with bare skin, eg. frozen ice cubes.

Power failure – food safety

Do not refreeze frozen foods that have thawed completely. Follow the recommendations below if you discover food in your freezer has thawed:

1)Ice crystals still visible – food may be refrozen but should be stored for a shorter period than recommended.

2)Thawed but refrigerator cold – refreezing generally not recommended. Fruits and some cooked food can be refrozen but use as soon as possible. Meat, fish, poultry – use immediately or cook then refreeze. Vegetables – discard as they usually go limp and soggy.

3)Thawed but warmer than 40°F (4°C). Red meat can be cooked immediately and refrozen but use as soon as possible. Discard all other frozen foods.

Do not refreeze frozen foods that have thawed completely. The food may be dangerous to eat.

Cleaning

Many commercially available cleaning products contain solvents which may attack plastic components of your appliance and cause them to crack. Please refer to the cleaning care section of this guide for further advice.

Always keep the floor around the toe-kick area clean, to limit the amount of dirt or dust that may enter the condenser cooling circuit of the product.
