Storage of frozen food in the freezer compartment
• Your appliance is labelled "4 stars"
frozen food, freezing fresh products and making ice cubes.
• When starting the appliance, it is advisable to wait two hours before placing fresh
products in the freezer compartment. If the appliance is already running, this waiting
period is not necessary.
• Do not place hot dishes in the freezer until they have cooled down, as food that is already
frozen may rot.
• Place fresh food to be frozen in the top drawer and use the 2 lower drawers to store
products which are already frozen. Do not mix products which are already frozen with fresh
products.
• If you are planning to freeze foods (meat, minced meat, fish, etc.), consider dividing items
into portions so that they can be eaten all at once. Leave a space of at least 3 cm between
the food to be frozen and the top wall inside the drawers. Use an airtight, sealed package
which is easy-to-open to freeze your food (freezer bags, storage boxes, etc.) Do not
refreeze food that has thawed. This poses risks to your health, such as food poisoning.
• When you buy frozen foods, make sure they have been frozen under good conditions and
that the packaging is not torn.
• When storing frozen food, the storage conditions indicated on the packaging must be
respected. If there are no instructions, the food should be consumed as soon as possible.
• Food must be transported in appropriate packaging to maintain its quality and must be
returned to the freezer as soon as possible. If the packaging of a frozen food is damp and
smells unpleasant, the food may have been stored in poor conditions before. Do not store
this food!
• The shelf life of a frozen food changes depending on the room temperature, repeated
opening and closing of the door, the temperature setting, the type of food and the time
between when the food was purchased and when it was placed in the freezer. Always
follow the instructions on the packaging and never exceed the shelf life.
