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
