•Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at low temperatures. There is a risk of an explosion! Do not store any containers with flammable materials such as, spray cans, fire extinguisher refill cartridges etc in the refrigerator/freezer.
•Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer compartment. They can burst when the contents freeze, high carbonate content drinks can even explode! Never store lemonade, juices, beer, wine, sparkling wine etc. in the freezer compartment.
•Ice cream or ice cubes can cause “frost/freezer” burns if consumed straight from the freezer.
•Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could stick to the food.
