If a package is swollen or has damp patches, the product may not have been stored in optimum conditions and therefore undergone partial defrosting. • When shopping, leave frozen food purchases until last and carry them in a thermally insulated bag. • On arriving home, immediately place the frozen food in the appliance. • Avoid or minimise temperature variations. Observe the expiry date on the packaging. • Always follow the storage instructions on frozen food packages. Note: • Eat fully or partially defrosted foods immediately. Do not refreeze unless the food is cooked after it has thawed. • In case of a prolonged power failure: Do not open the appliance door, except to place ice packs (if provided) over the frozen foods on the right and left side of the appliance.
