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.
Food preservation and storage.
Under the recommended setting, the best shelf life is no more than 3 days in the refrigerator
and 3 months in the freezer (4 stars); The better storage time may reduce other parameters.
Failure to comply with these storage temperatures involves risks of poisoning and food
waste.
