STORING FOOD

Food shall be stored in adequate
packages like plastic bags or
containers with hermetic lids.
This procedure avoids
the removal of natural
humidity from the
food, preserving
quality.
When storing food in
the freezer, prepare small portions to
allow faster freezing and the entire
use of each portion.
Do not place hot foods inside the
freezer. Allow them to cool to room
temperature. That helps
saving power
consumption, and
assures the good
operation of the
product.
Try to open the door
only as long as it takes to place and
remove food. You will be reducing
power consumption and improving
the performance of your freezer.
Allow at least 1 minute before
opening the freezer door.
The internal vacuum makes opening
of the door difficult immediately
after it has been closed.

Important:
It is recommended to operate
the freezer for at least 2 hours
before storing food or beverages
in it. That time is necessary for
temperature to stabilize inside
the product.
Once defrosted, foods should
not be refrozen as they might
lose their natural characteristics.
Liquids increase in volume
when frozen. Take care when
storing bottles or other closed
containers in the freezer.
They may brake.
Do not store toxic products in
your freezer as they may
contaminate foods.
Each freezer is able to freeze a
maximum amount of food at every
24 hours. Avoid exceeding the
freezing capacity of your product.
See "Technical Characteristics"
(pg. 10).
Always observe the expiration date
of frozen food, indicated by the
manufacturer.
When opening the door, it is
normal for the lower drawer, basket
fronts and the door of the fast
freezing compartment of your
freezer to fog up due to the entry of
hot air.
Using the shelf (removable):
To store a bigger amounts of food or
