Miele KF 7544 Warning and Safety instructions, Danger of injury and damage to the ap- pliance

Warning and Safety instructions

Do not refreeze thawed or partially thawed food. Defrosted food

should be used up as quickly as possi- ble as food soon loses its 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 con-

taining propellants (e.g. spray cans). Switching on thermostats may produce sparks which could present a fire haz- ard.

If storing alcohol with a high per- centage proof, make sure it is

tightly closed and stored upright. 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 freshness and quality of the food as well as the tem- perature at which it is stored. Follow the instructions given on food manufac- turer’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 as these will cause

the seals to deteriorate and become porous with time.

Do not store cooking oil in the ap- pliance door. Traces of oil can

cause stress cracks to occur in the plastic components in the door.

Do not block the ventilation gaps in the appliance as this would impair the efficiency of the appliance, increase

the electricity consumption and could cause damage to the appliance.
