foods.

•

Food must be fresh, mature and of prime quality in order

Advice for storing

frozen food

When purchasing

frozen food products:

•

Make sure that the package is intact (frozen food in

damaged packaging may have deteriorated). If the package

is swollen or has damp patches, it may not have been

stored under optimal conditions and defrosting may have

already begun.

•

When shopping, leave frozen food purchases until last and

transport the products in a thermally insulated cool bag.

•

Once at home, place the frozen foods immediately in the

appliance.

•

Avoid, or reduce temperature variations to the minimum.

Respect the best-before date on the package.

•

Always observe the storage information on the package.

Note:

Eat fully or partially defrosted foods immediately.

Do not refreeze unless the food is cooked after it has

thawed. Once cooked, the thawed food can be

refrozen.

If there is a long power failure:

•

Do not open the appliance lid except to place ice

packs (if provided) over the frozen foods on the right

and left of the appliance. This will slow down the rise

in temperature.

How often should I defrost my freezer? Verified

For optimal use of the freezer it is best to defrost it once every 3-6 months. Ice on the inside of the freezer reduces the available space and increases the use of energy. The thawing process can be accelerated by placing hot water in the drawer or placing bowls of hot water in the freezer.
