Transport deep-frozen products in appropriate containers to avoid thawing.
Place the food products back in the freezer as quickly as possible.
Do not purchase products covered in a layer of frost, as such products have already
begun thawing several times over.
Prevent food products from thawing or beginning to thaw, as increased temperatures
shorten their storage period and worsen their quality.
Partially or completely thawed food products should be consumed immediately.
Low temperatures conserve food products, but do not kill microorganisms, which
quickly recover and cause food products to spoil. Partial thawing reduces a food
product’s nutritional value, especially of fruits, vegetables and prepared products.
If packaging is damaged or unnaturally swollen, it has most likely been stored
improperly and the food product inside may be spoiled.
If a sudden power outage occurs, avoid opening the doors to prevent loss of cold.
Never leave the deep freezer without electricity for longer than 10 minutes
After a power outage or removing the plug from its socket, wait at least 5 minutes
before connecting the deep freezer to a power source.
