Storage of frozen food
If you have turned on the refrigerator for the fi rst time or you have just defrosted it, turn the thermostat to the
value "5" at least for 2 hours before putting food into the refrigerator or the freezer.
All frozen food must be put into the freezer as soon as possible after being bought, so that they do not defrost
and cause potential contamination.
Store frozen products according to the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging.
Pay increased attention to handling the drawer, so that you do not damage the cooling circuit.
Placing fresh food into a freezer
Ensure that the freezer is clean as the freezing process itself does not sterilise food. We recommend freezing
food in the original packaging, or in various containers suitable for freezing or in special freezer bags, etc. Never
place hot or warm food into the freezer. Allow food to fully cool down before placing them into the freezer,
wrap them in a plastic bag, aluminium foil or put them in a jar. Check the label on the freezer, to check how
many kilos of fresh food (at a room temperature of 25°C) the freezer is able to freeze in 24 hours. Never insert
more food than the permitted amount.
Never place bottles with fi zzy drinks into the freezer nor any other bottles.
For better freezing results give the food suffi cient room for air circulation.
We recommend a setting between the medium and maximum value for standard use and for long term food
storage in the freezer.
ATTENTION!
• Do not store cans and bottles with beverages containing carbon dioxide in the freezer. The contents
expand during the freezing process, which may rip the bottle or can apart. Risk of injury and damage!
• Consume ice cream only several minutes after removing it from the freezer – you will avoid injury to your
lips and tongue. Likewise, do not touch the inside of the freezer if you have wet hands.
Important information
• Place only properly wrapped food into the freezer.
• When storing deep frozen food intended for immediate consumption, note the expiry date marked by the
manufacturer.
• Remember that only quality fresh food are suitable for freezing.
• Freeze fresh food in appropriately sized portions.
• Ensure that you use an appropriate wrapping material (plastic wrap, aluminium foil, freezing bays).
• Push all air out of the packages.
• To close the packages use rubber bands, plastic clips, tie wire or adhesive tape resistant to cold.
• Plastic bags and tubes can also be closed using a food sealing appliance.
• On the closed package write down the contents, weight and date of freezing.
• Before placing plastic bags into the freezer check that they are dry so as to prevent them from freezing to
each other.
• To prevent partial defrosting, place the food that is to be frozen in such a way that it is not touching the
already frozen food.
• Do not refreeze fully or partially defrosted food apart from the case where they were heat processed
(cooked or fried/baked).
