bags, compress them to eliminate the air before sealing them hermetically.
Note on each package:
-The freezing date
-The consume-by date
-The type of food contained
-The number of portions contained
If you are purchasing deep-frozen food, pick it up last when you are shopping.
Check that:
- The packaging isn't damaged
- They are not covered in a layer of frost (which means that they have partially defrosted).
Pack them in an isotherm bag or in newspaper. Transport them quickly and store them
immediately. Comply with the maximum storage dates shown on the pack. Your appliance
has a **** freezer compartment, this enables you to keep deep-frozen food in an optimal
manner.

ARRANGING FOOD IN YOUR FREEZER

Do not put fresh food next to food that has already been frozen to avoid causing the frozen
food to warm up.
The maximum weight of food that you can freeze over 24 hours is shown on the information
plate (inside your appliance near the bottom of the left-hand wall) under the heading:
"CAPACITE DE CONGELATION/ FREEZING CAPACITY (kg/24h)".

DEFROSTING FOOD

You can defrost food in five different ways:
- By putting them in your appliance's refrigerator section for several hours
- By leaving them to defrost gently at ambient temperature
- In a conventional oven at a very low temperature (40/50°C)
- In a microwave oven
- By cooking them immediately
Defrosting them in the refrigerator is the slowest but safest method.
Never refreeze food once it has defrosted, even partially, without cooking it first.
We advise not to place any items you have just taken out of the freezer straight into your
mouth (ice cream, ice cubes, etc.), they will be at a very low temperature and you risk
frostbite. Avoid touching frozen or deep-frozen food with wet hands; your skin may stick to
the food. We recommend that you only defrost food for immediate use.

Cleaning Your Freezer

Upon installation of your new appliance, it is recommended that it be cleaned
thoroughly.

Turn the temperature control to "OFF", unplug the freezer, remove the food and
storage basket.

Wash the inside with a damp warm cloth soaked in lukewarm water and baking soda
solution. The solution should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of
