Recommendations for
Preservation of Frozen
Foods
• While purchasing your frozen foods,
make sure that they are frozen at
appropriate temperatures and their
packages are not broken.
• Put the packages on the freezer
compartment as soon as possible
after purchasing them.
• Make sure that the expiration
date indicated on the packaging
is not expired before consuming
the packaged ready meals that
you remove from the freezer
compartment.

Defrosting

The ice in the freezer compartments is
automatically thawed.

Deep Freezer Information

The EN 62552 standard requires
(according to specific measurement
conditions) that at least 4.5 kg of
food for each 100 liter of freezer
compartment volume can be frozen
at a room temperature of 25°C in 24
hours.

Defrosting the frozen foods

Depending on the food diversity and
the purpose of use, a selection can be
made between the following options for
defrosting:
• At room temperature (it is not very
suitable to defrost the food by leaving
it at room temperature for a long
time in terms of maintaining the food
quality)
• In the refrigerator
• In the electrical oven (in models with
or without fan)
• In the microwave oven
CAUTION:
• Never put acidic beverages in glass
bottles and cans into your freezer due
to the risk of explosion.
• If there is moisture and abnormal
swelling in the packaging of frozen
foods, it is likely that they were
previously stored in an improper
storage condition and their contents
deteriorated. Do not consume these
foods without checking.
• Since some spices in cooked
meals may change their taste when
exposed to long-term storage
conditions, your frozen foods should
be less seasoned or the desired
spices should be added to the foods
after the thawing process.
