~High proof alcohol should be stored upright, in tightly closed bottles in the refrigerator section. Danger of explosion!
~Do not store cans or bottles in the freezer that contain carbonated beverages or liquids that could freeze. The cans or bottles could explode. Danger of injury, and danger of appliance damage!
~Bottles that are put in the freezer for quick cooling must be removed within one hour. Otherwise, they could burst. Danger of injury, and danger of appliance damage!
~Eating food past the expiry date can cause food poisoning. Shelf life depends on many factors, including the quality of the food, how fresh it is, and the storage temperature. Always observe the manufacturer’s recommended storage conditions and expiry dates.
~Never use a sharp-edged object to

~Do not use any oils or grease on the door seals, because they can cause the seals to deteriorate over time.
~If you store oily or greasy foods in the appliance, make sure that no oil or grease spills onto the plastic parts. This can cause the plastic to crack and break.
~Do not block the ventilation slits, because this interferes with proper air supply to the appliance. This in turn causes increased demand for electricity, and may also result in damage to appliance parts.
~The appliance is designed for use within a certain temperature range (room temperature), and should not be used outside this range. The climate range for your appliance is printed on the information plate inside the appliance. If the room temperature is too cold, this will cause the appliance to switch off for longer periods of time, with the result that it cannot maintain the required internal temperature.
~Never use a steam cleaner to defrost or clean the appliance. Pressurized steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit.
