Mark the freezer packaging with the date of freezing.
Place fresh food for freezing close to the cold sides
of the freezer, making sure that it is not in contact
with the frozen food already in the freezer.
Frozen food can be stored anywhere inside the
freezer, but should be kept at least 5 mm below the
upper edge.
If freezing is too slow, the quality of the food being frozen
deteriorates. The amount of fresh food (expressed in kg)
that can be frozen in 24 hours is indicated in the chapter
"Technical data" under "Freezing capacity".
FOOD STORAGE
For fresh frozen food, please refer to the storage
period table underneath.
For purchased frozen food, never exceed the expiry
date.
When you buy frozen food, make sure that it has
been stored at the correct temperature. Do not buy
products which have wet or damaged packaging.
Place purchased products in your freezer as quickly
as possible. We recommend using an insulated bag
to bring such products home with you.
Important! Remember that fully or partially defrosted
food must not be re-frozen. However, dishes which have
been cooked using defrosted food may be frozen.
IN THE CASE OF A POWER FAILURE OR
BREAKDOWN
Do not open the lid.
Important! If the power has been off for longer that the
value shown in the chapter "Technical data" under "Hold-
over time", the defrosted food must be consumed quickly
or cooked immediately and then refrozen (after cooling).
