9.3 Storing frozen foods

When purchasing frozen foods, always take care that the pack is not damaged, that the product is not
past its sell-by date and that the thermometer of the freezer in which the products are displayed for sale
does not show a temperature above -18°C. Also note the temperature advice, storage period and modes
of consumption stated by the producer. Purchased foods should also be protected using suitable
insulated containers during transportation to eliminate the risk of thawing. An increase in temperature
might reduce their storage life and adversely affect their quality.
Do not purchase frozen foods which are carrying too much frost; they might already have been thawed.

9.4 Thawing frozen foods

Partially thawed foods should be eaten as soon as possible. Low temperatures preserve foods but they
do not destroy the micro-organisms which are activated after thawing, which may cause the stored foods
to deteriorate. If thawed foods smell and look normal, they can be cooked and if required re-frozen once
they have cooled.
Depending on their type and intended use, frozen foods can be thawed correctly at room temperature, in
the refrigerator, in an electric oven (conventional or fan), or in a microwave oven using the relevant
function.

9.5 Anti-condensation device

This product has an anti-condensation device activated using the control panel. This device heats the
gasket between the body of the appliance and the freezer door; this heat evaporates the condensation
which may form in this area.
However, if any condensation is noticed it can simply be removed with kitchen paper.
To activate and deactivate the anti-condensation device, simply press the
no alarm active: when the function is activated, the freezer section display will show the message
two seconds; when it is deactivated, the display will show
