maintain a sufficiently low temperature for food storage. However, it is

Freezing fresh food (only in compartments marked )
Important
• Before freezing, wrap and seal fresh food in: aluminium foil, cling film,
air and water-tight plastic bags, polythene containers with lids or
freezer containers suitable for freezing fresh food.
• Arrange the fresh food in the top compartment, leaving sufficient space
around each pack for the air to circulate.

placing fresh foods in the freezer compartment.
• The food will be completely frozen in 24 hours.
For appliances with compartments marked . The table
alongside shows the recommended maximum storage time for
frozen fresh foods.
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.
• Place the items in the low temperature compartment as soon as you
get home.
• If food has defrosted even partially, do not re-freeze it. Consume
within 24 hours.
• Avoid, or reduce temperature variations to the minimum. Respect the
best-before date on the package.
• Always observe the storage information on the package.
Making ice cubes
• Fill the ice cube tray 2/3 full and place it in the low temperature
compartment.
• Do not use sharp or pointed instruments to detach the tray if it is stuck
to the low temperature compartment bottom.
• Bend the ice tray slightly to remove the cubes.
