• When buying frozen food, ensure that it has been frozen at a suitable temperatures and
that the packaging is intact.
• Frozen food should be transported in appropriate containers to maintain the quality of the
food and should be put into the freezer as quickly as possible.
• 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.
• The storage life of frozen foods depends on the room temperature, thermostat setting,
how often the door is opened, the type of food and the length of time required to transport
the product from the shop to your home. Always follow the instructions printed on the
package and never exceed the maximum storage life indicated.
Note that: If you attempt to open the freezer door immediately after closing it, you may find
that it does not easily open. This is quite normal. The door will open easily once equilibrium
is reached.
