Hints For Storage Of Frozen Food - MaxxHome 22001 Bedienungsanleitung

4. It is recommended to put labels and dates on all your frozen food. This will help to
identify foods and to know when they should be used before their deterioration.
5. The food should be fresh when being frozen to preserve good quality. Especially
fruits and vegetables should be frozen after the harvest to preserve all of their
nutrients.
6. Do not freeze bottles or cans with liquids, in particular drinks containing carbon
dioxide -they may explode during freezing.
7. Do not put hot food in the freezer compartment. Cool it down at room
temperature before placing it inside the compartment.
8. To avoid increase in temperature of already frozen food, do not place fresh
unfrozen food directly next to it. Place food at room temperature in the part of 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.
