The storage time and recommended temperature for storing
commercially frozen foods is indicated on the packaging. Always
follow manufacturer’s instructions for storage and use of frozen food.
When shopping be careful to choose only food which is adequately
packed and provided with complete data and stored in freezers where
the temperature never rises above -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
during transport to your home. Temperature rise shortens the storage
time and affects the quality of commercially frozen foods.

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 food, especially
fruits, vegetables and readymade meals.

Defrosting frozen food
Refrigerator needs no special defrosting procedure, because ice
deposited at the inner back wall is defrosted automatically.
Ice deposited on the inner back wall during the compressor operation
is defrosted when the compressor stops operating, and condensed
water drops are drained through the outlet in the inner back wall into
the drain pan situated above the compressor where it evaporates. In
case you should notice excessive ice formation at the rear refrigerator
panel (3-5 mm thick), switch the appliance off and thaw it manually.
• Clean the freezer when the frost layer in the freezer reaches
thickness of around 3-5 mm.
• 24 hours before defrosting activate the fast freeze function
(see relevant control chapter depending upon the model of the
