HOW TO OPERATE THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT
The freezer is a star compartment. This compartment can be used to store frozen foods for the period of time indicated on packaging. The freezer can also be used to freeze fresh food by positioning it on the rack; place frozen food in the lower part of the compartment so that there is no contact with fresh food that has yet to be frozen. The quantity of fresh food that can be frozen in 24 hours is shown on the rating plate. Important: Before freezing, wrap and seal fresh food in: � aluminium foil, cling film, air and water-tight plastic bags, polythene containers with lids or freezer containers suitable for freezing fresh food. � In the event of a power cut, the freezer compartment will maintain a sufficiently low temperature for food storage. However, it is advisable to avoid opening the compartment door during such periods. Important: The table alongside shows the recommended maximum storage time for frozen fresh foods. When purchasing frozen food products: � Ensure that the packaging is not damaged (frozen food in damaged packaging may have deteriorated). If the package is swollen or has damp patches, it may not have been stored under optimal conditions and defrosting may have already begun. � When shopping, leave frozen food purchases until last and transport the products in a thermally insulated cool bag. � Place the items in the freezer compartment as soon as you get home. � If food has defrosted even partially, do not refreeze it. Consume within 24 hours. � Avoid, or reduce temperature variations to the minimum. Respect the best-before date on the package. � Always observe the storage information on the package.
