If you remove the baskets, you can store frozen
packages directly on the cooling shelves.
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

perishable.
Partial defrosting reduces the nutritional value
of foods, especially of fruits, vegetables and
ready-made meals.
