Failure to comply with these storage temperatures involves risks of poisoning and food
waste. For optimal conservation of foodstuffs, it is recommended to adjust the temperatures
of the compartments as below:
FROZEN AND DEEP- FROZEN FOOD
Your domestic appliance enables you to freeze food, it lowers its core temperature rapidly
and you can therefore keep it longer.
Deep-freezing is an industrial process that is quicker and more intense that domestic
freezing. The products you purchase from the shops are deep-frozen.
PREPARING FOOD FOR FREEZING
Freezing does not sterilise. It is therefore important to observe some simple hygiene
rules when preparing your food for freezing: wash your hands before you touch the
food and clean the kitchen tools you have just used before using them again.
Only freeze fresh, good quality food. Refer to the table "Food Freezing Guide" to know which
products you can freeze and how long you can keep them.
Blanch fruit and vegetables before freezing them to preserve their color, smell, taste and
vitamins: plunge them in boiling water for few moments.
Divide the food you wish to freeze into small individual portions corresponding to one meal
each. Small portions freeze quicker at their core.
