IMPORTANT WARNINGS ON FREEZING
FRESH FOOD

AVOID CONTAMINATION OF FOOD

To avoid contamination of food, please respect the following instructions:
• Opening the door for long periods can cause a signifi cant increase of the temperature in
the compartments of the appliance.
• Regularly clean surfaces that can come in contact with food and accessible drainage
systems.
• If the refrigerating appliance is left empty for long periods, switch off , defrost, clean, dry,
and leave the door open to prevent mould developing within the appliance.
STORAGE OF INDUSTRIALLY FROZEN
FOOD
• When storing and using frozen food, observe the manufacturer's instructions.
Temperature and expiry date are indicated on the packaging.
• Only choose food with undamaged packaging, stored in freezers at temperatures of
-18°C or lower.
• Do not purchase food covered in frost as this indicates they have been partly defrosted
several times and that they are of inferior quality.
• Protect the food from thawing during transport. In case of an increase in temperature,
storage time will be shorter and quality will deteriorate.
Only freeze the food that is suitable for freezing in the freezer.
Make sure the food you freeze is of high quality and fresh.
Choose appropriate packaging and use the packaging correctly.
Packaging should not be permeable to humidity; it should be
airtight to prevent the food from drying out and loss of vitamins.
Label the food; indicate the type of food, amount, and date of
freezing.
It is important that the food is frozen as quickly as possible.
Therefore, keep the packages small. Refrigerate the food before
freezing.
