~
The appliance must be isolated from
the electricity supply during installation,
maintenance and repair work.
~
Faulty components must only be
replaced by genuine Miele original
spare parts. The manufacturer can only
guarantee the safety of the appliance
when Miele replacement parts are
used.
~
This appliance must not be used in
a non-stationary location (e.g. on a
ship).
Correct use
~
Never handle frozen food or the
metal parts of the appliance with wet
hands. Your hands may freeze to the
frozen food. Danger of frost burn and
injury.
~
Do not operate any electrical
equipment (e.g. an electric ice-cream
maker) inside the appliance. Danger of
sparks and explosion.
~
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.
Warning and Safety instructions
~
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, causing injury or damage.
~
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 the food
manufacturer's packaging regarding
storage conditions and "use-by" dates.
~
Do not use sharp edged objects to
– remove frost and ice,
– separate frozen foods or remove ice
trays.
They will damage the evaporator,
causing irreversible damage to the
appliance.
~
Do not place electric heaters or
candles in the appliance to defrost it.
These will damage the plastic parts.
