3.7 Using the freezer compartment
To keep and freeze foods properly:
• pack fruit and vegetables in portions of
no more than 1 kg and meat and fish in
portions of up to 2 kg.
• small packages freeze quickly which
means that the foods' nutritional
properties are preserved better,
including after defrosting/preparation.
• package foods in hermetically sealed
packages, expelling air as much as
possible.
• Do not use paper bags or shopping
bags, use the suitable freezer bags/
containers.

Defrosted foods
Food must be consumed as soon as
possible once defrosted. Freezing foods
preserves them, but it does not destroy any
micro-organisms, which are activated after
thawing, damaging the foods.
Partial defrosting lowers the nutritional value
of the foodstuffs, particularly of fruit,
vegetables and ready meals.
Always allow hot foods and drinks
to cool to room temperature
before putting them in the
appliance.
