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.
Never fill the freezer further than the loading line shown on the
illustration.
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 than 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).
