HINTS FOR STORAGE OF FROZEN FOOD
• Freezer compartment is the one marked with
.
• 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.
• 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.
