temperature in the part of the freezer
compartment where there is no frozen food.
•
Do not eat ice cubes, water ices or ice lollies
immediately after taking them out of the freezer.
Risk of frostbites.
•
Do not re-freeze defrosted food. If the food has
defrosted, cook it, cool it down and then freeze
it.
HINTS FOR STORAGE OF FROZEN FOOD
•
Good temperature setting that ensures
preservation of frozen food products is a
temperature less than or equal to -18°C.
Higher temperature setting inside the appliance
may lead to shorter shelf life.
•
The whole freezer compartment is suitable for
storage of frozen food products.
•
Leave enough space around the food to allow
air to circulate freely.
•
For adequate storage refer to food packaging
label to see the shelf life of food.

SHOPPING TIPS
After grocery shopping:
•
Ensure that the packaging is not damaged - the
food could be deteriorated. If the package is
swollen or wet, it might have not been stored in
the optimal conditions and defrosting may have
already started.
•
To limit the defrosting process buy frozen goods
at the end of your grocery shopping and
transport them in a thermal and insulated cool
bag.
•
Place the frozen foods immediately in the freezer
after coming back from the shop.
•
If food has defrosted even partially, do not re-
freeze it. Consume it as soon as possible.
•
Respect the expiry date and the storage
information on the package.
