• To avoid contamination of food, please respect the following instructions:
• – Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the
temperature in the compartments of the appliance.
• – Clean regularly surfaces that can come in contact with food and accessible
drainage systems.
• – Clean water tanks if they have not been used for 48 h; flush the water
system connected to a water supply if water has not been drawn for 5 days.
• – Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that it
is not in contact with or drip onto other food.
• –  Two-star  frozen-food  compartments  are  suitable  for  storing  pre-frozen
food, storing or making ice-cream and making ice cubes.
• – One-, two- and three-star compartments are not suitable for the freezing 
of fresh food.
• –  If  the  refrigerating  appliance  is  left  empty  for  long  periods,  switch  off,
defrost, clean, dry, and leave the door open to prevent mould developing
within the appliance.
• Check the condition of food if a warming in the freezer has taken place.
• Do not set unnecessarily low temperature in the refrigerator compartment. 
Minus temperatures may occur at high settings. Attention: Bottles can burst.
• Do not touch frozen goods with wet hands (wear gloves). Especially do not
eat  ice  lollies  immediately  after  removal  from  the  freezer  compartment.
There is the risk to freeze or the formation of frost blisters. FIRST aid: keep
immediately under running cold water. Do not pull away!
• Do not touch the inside surface of the freezer storage compartment when in
operation, especially with wet hands, as your hands may freeze onto the 
surface.
• Unplug the appliance in the event of a power interruption or before cleaning.
Allow at least 7 minutes before restarting the appliance, as frequent starting
may damage the compressor.
• Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of
the  appliance,  unless  they  are  of  the  type  recommended  by  the
manufacturer.
