• 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.

• 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.
