Storing food

Use the freezer compartment

To freeze food. Note Ensure that the freezer compartment door has been closed
properly. If the door is open, the frozen food will thaw. The freezer compartment will
become covered in thick ice. Also: waste of energy due to high power consumption!
Purchasing frozen food
■ Packaging must not be damaged.

in a cool bag and place quickly in the freezer compartment

Keep food which is to be frozen away from food which is already frozen.
