FROZEN FOOD STORAGE
Before putting frozen food inside the cavity please
check that the product is set as freezer (see
“Temperatureadjustment”paragraph)andredlight
doesn’t light up.
Refer to the table on the appliance (if provided).

expirydates.
Advice for storing frozen food
Whenpurchasingfrozenfoodproducts:
• Ensurethatthepackagingisnotdamaged(frozen
foodindamagedpackagingmayhavedeteriorated).
Ifthepackageisswollenorhasdamppatches,itmay
nothavebeenstoredunderoptimalconditionsand
defrostingmayhavealreadybegun.
• Whenshopping,leavefrozenfoodpurchasesuntillast
andtransporttheproductsinathermallyinsulatedcool
bag.
• Onceathome,placethefrozenfoodsimmediately
intheappliance.
• Avoid,orreducetemperaturevariationstotheminimum.
Respectthebest-beforedateonthepackage.
• Alwaysobservethestorageinformationonthepackage.
Note:
Eat fully or partially defrosted foods immediately.
Do not refreeze unless the food is cooked after it has
thawed. Once cooked, the thawed food can be refrozen.
If there is a long power failure:
• Donotopentheappliancelidexcepttoplaceicepacks
(if provided) over the frozen foods on the right and
left of the appliance. This will slow down the rise in
temperature.
COOLER USE
Before switching from freezer use to cooler use please:
1-checkthatfrozenfoodisnotpresentinsidethecavityto
avoidunwantedfooddefrosting.
2-defrostandcleantheproducttoavoidwaterstagnationon
