the freezer compartment where there is no frozen food.
9. Do not eat ice cubes, water ices or ice lollies immediately after taking them
out of the freezer. Risk of frostbites.
10. 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
• 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 refreeze it. Consume it as soon as
possible.
• Respect the expiry date and the storage information on the package.
HINTS FOR FRESH FOOD REFRIGERATION
Good temperature setting that ensures preservation of fresh food is a
temperature less than or equal to +4°C.
Higher temperature setting inside the appliance may lead to shorter shelf
life of food.
• Cover the food with packaging to preserve its freshness and aroma.
• Always use closed containers for liquids and for food, to avoid flavours or
odours in the compartment.
• To avoid the cross-contamination between cooked and raw food, cover
the cooked food and separate it from the raw one.
• It is recommended to defrost the food inside the fridge.
• Do not insert hot food inside the appliance.
Make sure it has cooled down at room temperature before inserting it.
• To prevent food waste the new stock of food should always be placed
behind the old one.
