Hints for freezing
• Activate FastFreeze function at least 24 hours
before placing the food inside the freezer
compartment.
• Before freezing wrap and seal fresh food in:
aluminium foil, plastic film or bags, airtight
containers with lid.
• For more efficient freezing and thawing divide food
into small portions.
• It is recommended to put labels and dates on all
your frozen food. This will help to identify foods and
to know when they should be used before their
deterioration.
• The food should be fresh when being frozen to
preserve good quality. Especially fruits and
vegetables should be frozen after the harvest to
preserve all of their nutrients.
• Do not freeze bottles or cans with liquids, in
particular drinks containing carbon dioxide - they
may explode during freezing.
• Do not put hot food in the freezer compartment.
Cool it down at room temperature before placing it
inside the compartment.
• To avoid increase in temperature of already frozen
food, do not place fresh unfrozen food directly next
to it. Place food at room temperature in the part of
the freezer compartment where there is no frozen
food.
• Do not eat ice cubes, water ices or ice lollies
immediately after taking them out of the freezer.
Risk of frostbites.
• Do not re-freeze defrosted food. If the food has
defrosted, cook it, cool it down and then freeze it.
Hints for storage of frozen food
• Freezer compartment is the one marked with
.
• The medium temperature setting ensures good
preservation of frozen food products.
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.
