• Do not eat ice cubes, water ices or ice
lollies immediately after taking them

the food has defrosted, cook it, cool it
down and then freeze it.
6.3 Hints for storage of frozen

ensures good preservation of frozen
food products.
Higher temperature setting inside the
appliance may lead to shorter shelf
life.
• The whole freezer compartment is
suitable for storage of frozen food
products.
• Leave enough space around the food
to allow air to circulate freely.
• For adequate storage refer to food
packaging label to see the shelf life of
food.

6.4 Shopping tips
After grocery shopping:
• Ensure that the packaging is not
damaged - the food could be
deteriorated. If the package is swollen
or wet, it might have not been stored
in the optimal conditions and
defrosting may have already started.
• To limit the defrosting process buy
frozen goods at the end of your
grocery shopping and transport them
in a thermal and insulated cool bag.
• Place the frozen foods immediately in
the freezer after coming back from
the shop.
• If food has defrosted even partially,
do not re-freeze it. Consume it as
soon as possible.
• Respect the expiry date and the
storage information on the package.
