food items do not defrost after pur-
chase and to store them as fast as
possible in the freezer.
It is possible to store food for longer
periods of time. The period might
vary, so observe the storage infor-
mation on the packaging of the mer-
chandise.
General safety precautions
Do not store bottles or cans. These
can break when the contents freeze –
or even explode if they contain car-
bonated drinks.
Once products have been defrosted
halfway or completely, they should be
consumed as soon as possible and
should not be frozen again, except
they have been processed to a ready
meal.
Do not eat food that is still frozen. Do
not eat ice cream directly from the
freezer. The cold can cause injuries in
the oral cavity.
Touching metal parts inside the unit
can cause symptoms like burns if the
skin is very sensitive.
Never touch frozen food with moist or
wet hands.
