1.6 Warnings for energy

Warning for energy

1)Refrigerating appliances might not operate consistently (possibility of defrosting of contents or
temperature becoming too warm in the frozen food compartment) when sited for an extended period of
time below the cold end of the range of temperatures for which the refrigerating appliance is designed.

2)The fact that effervescent drinks should not be stored in food freezer compartments or cabinets or in
low-temperature compartments or cabinets, and that some products such as water ices should not be
consumed too cold;

3)The need to not exceed the storage time(s) recommended by the food manufacturers for any kind of
food and particularly for commercially quick-frozen food in food-freezer and frozen-food storage
compartments or cabinets;
