4.9 The freezer mode
WARNING! Do not eat food which is still frozen. Children should not
eat ice-cream straight from the freezer. The coldness can cause injuries
in the mouth.
WARNING! Contact with frozen food, ice and metal components in the
freezer can cause injuries similar to burns.
CAUTION! Do not touch the extremely cooled surfaces with wet or
damp hands, because your skin may stick on these surfaces.
CAUTION! Freezer mode: do not store any bottled or canned
beverages (neither still nor carbonated) inside the appliance as their
containers could explode.
The freezer mode is intended for long-term storage of food. Please observe the
advice for max. storage time on the packaging of frozen food products. Do not
refreeze defrosted food.
❖ Protect fresh food you want to freeze using aluminium foil, cling film, air and
water tight plastic bags, polyethylene containers or other suitable plastic
containers with a lid.
❖ Leave some free space between the single pieces of frozen food as proper air
circulation is required.
❖ The food is frozen completely after 24 hours (you find the relevant information
about the maximum freezing capacity within 24 hours in chapter TECHNICAL DATA).
❖ Only buy frozen food, when its packaging is not damaged. Damaged packaging
may indicate an interruption of the cold chain.
❖ Avoid or reduce variations in temperature: buy frozen food at the end of
shopping and transport it in thermally insulated bags.
❖ Do not refreeze defrosted and semi-defrosted food. Consume within 24 hours.
❖ Observe the complete information on the packaging of frozen food.
