If you buy frozen foods, take them last when shopping. Check carefully:
▪
That their packaging is not damaged
▪
That they are not covered with a layer of frost (this would mean that they have been partially thawed).
Pack them in an insulated bag or in newspaper, transport them quickly, put them away immediately.
Respect the expiry date indicated on their packaging. Your appliance is equipped with a freezer
compartment ****, it allows you to keep frozen products in an optimal way.
FOOD STORAGE
Do not put fresh foods next to those that are already frozen in order to avoid causing an increase in the
temperature of the latter.
Information: the maximum weight of food that you can freeze per 24 hours is indicated on the
identification plate (located inside the freezer section of your appliance, on the left wall at the bottom)
under the name: "FREEZING CAPACITY / FREEZING CAPACITY (kg/24h)".
DEFROST FOOD
You can defrost food in five different ways:
▪
By putting them in the freezer section of your appliance for several hours.
▪
By letting them thaw gently at room temperature.
▪
In a traditional oven at very low temperature (40/50°C).
▪
In the microwave.
▪
By cooking them directly. Thawing in the freezer is the slowest but safest method.
Caution: Never refreeze food that has been defrosted, even partially, without having cooked it first. We
do not recommend that you take products straight out of the freezer (ice cream, ice cubes, etc.) directly
to your mouth, as they are then at a very low temperature and you risk cold burns. Avoid touching
frozen or deep-frozen foods with wet hands, they may stick together. We advise you to defrost your
food only for immediate use.
