Storing Frozen Foods
Packages of frozen foods are stored in
baskets.
If you remove the baskets, you can store
frozen packages directly on the cooling
shelves.
To allow the required circulation of cool
air, do not place any food above the
indicated line – see image below (only
with some models).
Storing Commercially Frozen Foods
The storage time and recommended
temperature for storing commercially frozen
foods is indicated on the packaging.
For storing and use consider manufacturer's
instruction.
When shopping, be careful and choose only
packages of foods which are adequately
packed and provided with complete data and
stored in freezers where the temperature is
not higher than -18°C.
Do not buy packages of food wrapped with
frost.
This indicates that the package was thawed
before at least once.
Take care that packages don't start to thaw.
Temperature rise shortens the storage time of
commercially frozen foods.

Defrosting of Frozen Food
Partially thawed or defrosted foods should be
used as soon as possible. Cold air preserves
the food but it does not destroy
microorganisms which rapidly activate
themselves after defrosting and make foods
perishable.
Partial defrosting reduces the nutritional value
of foods, especially of fruits, vegetables and
ready-made meals.
Changing the Direction of Opening the Door
If you find the direction of opening the door on
your appliance inconvenient, you can change
it. Holes on the opposite side have already
been prepared in the factory and are now
plugged.
Unscrew the lower hinge with foot and
remove the door ot the appliance.
