Important
• Before freezing, wrap and seal fresh food in: aluminium foil,
cling film, air and water-tight plastic bags, polythene
containers with lids or freezer containers suitable for
freezing fresh food.
• Arrange the fresh food in the top compartment, leaving
sufficient space around each pack for the air to circulate.

point when placing fresh foods in the freezer
compartment.

maximum storage time for frozen fresh foods.
When purchasing frozen food products:
• Ensure that the packaging is not damaged (frozen food in
damaged packaging may have deteriorated). If the package
is swollen or has damp patches, it may not have been
stored under optimal conditions and defrosting may have
already begun.
• When shopping, leave frozen food purchases until last and
transport the products in a thermally insulated cool bag.
• Place the items in the low temperature compartment as
soon as you get home.
• If food has defrosted even partially, do not re-freeze it.
Consume within 24 hours.
• Avoid, or reduce temperature variations to the minimum.
Respect the best-before date on the package.
• Always observe the storage information on the package.
