ARRANGING FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE
Freezer compartment
• Use the freezer for storing deep-frozen or frozen food for long periods
of time and making ice cubes.
• For maximum capacity for the freezer compartment, use glass
shelves for upper and middle section. For the bottom section, use the
lower basket.
• Do not store fresh food next to frozen food as it can thaw the frozen
food.
• When freezing fresh food (e.g. meat, fish and mincemeat), divide it
into portions that you will consume in one sitting.
• Never refreeze frozen food after it has thawed. It may be hazardous
to your health and could lead to food poisoning.
• Never place warm food in the freezer compartment, as it will disturb
the frozen food.
• When buying frozen food, make sure that it was frozen under
appropriate conditions and the packaging is not damaged.
• When storing the frozen food, the instructions shown on the packaging
should always be followed carefully and if no information is provided
food should consumed as soon as possible.
• Frozen food should be transported in appropriate containers and
placed in the freezer as soon as possible. Do not use door shelves
for freezing.
• If a frozen food package shows signs of humidity and abnormal
swelling it is probable that it has been previously stored at an
unsuitable temperature and that the contents have deteriorated. Do
not buy such food.
• Storage time for frozen food may differ according to the ambient
temperature, frequency of door openings, thermostat adjustments,
type of food and the time elapsed between buying the food and placing
the food in the freezer. Always follow instructions on the packaging
and do not exceed the storage period.
Note that: If you attempt to open the freezer door immediately after
closing it, you will find that it will not open easily. This is quite normal.
Once equilibrium has been reached, the door will open easily.
Important note:
• Frozen food, when thawed, should be cooked just like fresh food. If it
is not cooked after being thawed, it must NEVER be re-frozen.
