• 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

• 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.

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.
