freezer as soon as possible.
• Do not purchase frozen food if the
packaging shows signs of humidity
and abnormal swelling. It is probable
that it has been stored at an unsuitable
temperature and that the contents have
deteriorated.
• The storage life of frozen food depends
on the room temperature, the 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 packaging and
never exceed the maximum storage life
indicated.
The table below is a quick guide to show you the most efficient way to store the major

• If the freezer door has been left open for
a long time or not closed properly, frost
will form and can prevent efficient air
circulation. To resolve this, unplug the
freezer and wait for it to defrost. Clean
the freezer once it has fully defrosted.
• The freezer volume stated on the label is
the volume without baskets, covers, and
so on.
• Do not refreeze thawed food. It may
pose a danger to your health and cause
problems such as food poisoning.
NOTE: If you attempt to open the freezer
door immediately after closing it, you
will find that it will not open easily. This
is normal. Once equilibrium has been
reached, the door will open easily.
