should be turned on the first time the freezer is turned on, and whenever it is turned on after a period out
of use, to lower the temperature in the relative compartment more quickly. Do not place fresh or frozen

6.6 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 have too much frost on them: they may have already been thawed and
refrozen.
