GB 28 Using the "Fresh box" compartment for meat and fish This compartment was designed to allow for longer preservation times for fresh meat and fish (for as long as a week). This is possible as the coldest temperature of the entire fridge is available inside this specific compartment. The clear protective door to open the compartment avoids any oxidation or blackening to occur, which are typical of meat and fish when exposed to air.

For the preparation of food to be frozen, please consult a specialized manual. Food that has be thawed, even partially, must not be refrozen: you must cook it in order to consume it (within 24 hours) or to freeze it once again. When freezing fresh foods, remember that they should not touch other previously frozen or deep frozen foods.

The packages should be clearly marked with the content and the date they were frozen.
