Advice for storing frozen food When purchasing frozen food products: • Ensure that the packaging is not damaged (frozen food in damaged packaging may have deteriorated). If the package is swollen or has damp patches, it may not have been stored under optimal conditions and defrosting may have already begun. • When shopping, leave frozen food purchases until last and transport the products in a thermally insulated cool bag. • Once at home, place the frozen foods immediately in the freezer. • If food has defrosted even partially, do not re-freeze it. • Avoid, or reduce temperature variations to the minimum. Respect the best-before date on the package. • Always observe the storage information on the package. Removing the baskets • Pull the baskets out fully, then lift them up slightly in order to remove. Drawers (except the bottom drawer), runners and the white grid (if provided) may be removed in order to obtain increased storage space (Fig. Ensure that the load does not exceed the limit (if present) indicated on the side walls of the appliance.
