Storing Frozen Foods
Frozen foods can be stored on the bottom of the appliance or on the
shelf.
Commercially Frozen Foods
The storage time and the recommended temperature for storing
commercially frozen foods are indicated on the packaging. For storing
and using consider the manufacturer's instruction. When shopping, be
careful and choose only adequately packed foods provided with
complete data and stored in freezers where the temperature is not
higher than -18°C. Do not buy packages of food covered with frost
layer. This indicates that the package was thawed before at least once.
Be careful that packages don't start to thaw, as the temperature raise
reduces the quality of foods.

Defrosting Frozen Food
Partially thawed or defrosted foods should be used as soon as
possible. Cold air preserves the food but it does not destroy
microorganisms which rapidly activate after defrosting and make foods
perishable.
Partial defrosting reduces the nutritional value of foods, especially of
fruits, vegetables and ready-made meals.
