Miele F 311 i-6 Warning and Safety instructions, Do not refreeze thawed or partially thawed food

Warning and Safety instructions

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 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. 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 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 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 causing irreversible damage to the appliance.

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 might contain

substances which could damage the plastic parts or which could 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 porous with time.

Do not block the ventilation gaps in the plinth or the top of the

appliance housing unit as this would impair the efficiency of the appliance, increase the electricity consumption and could cause damage to the appliance.
