• It is important to wrap the food in such a way
that prevents water, humidity or condensation
from getting inside.
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.

HINTS FOR FRESH FOOD REFRIGERATION
• Good temperature setting that ensures
preservation of fresh food is a temperature less
than or equal to +4°C.
Higher temperature setting inside the appliance
may lead to shorter shelf life of food.
• Cover the food with packaging to preserve its
freshness and aroma.
• Always use closed containers for liquids and for
food, to avoid flavours or odours in the
compartment.
• To avoid the cross-contamination between
cooked and raw food, cover the cooked food
and separate it from the raw one.
• It is recommended to defrost the food inside the
fridge.
• Do not insert hot food inside the appliance.
Make sure it has cooled down at room
temperature before inserting it.
