• The whole freezer compartment is suitable
for storage of frozen food products.
• Leave enough space around the food to
allow air to circulate freely.
• For adequate storage refer to food
packaging label to see the shelf life of
food.
• It is important to wrap the food in such a
way that prevents water, humidity or
condensation from getting inside.
6.4 Shopping tips
After grocery shopping:
• Ensure that the packaging is not damaged
- the food could be deteriorated. If the
package is swollen or wet, it might have
not been stored in the optimal conditions
and defrosting may have already started.
• To limit the defrosting process buy frozen
goods at the end of your grocery shopping
and transport them in a thermal and
insulated cool bag.
• Place the frozen foods immediately in the
freezer after coming back from the shop.
• If food has defrosted even partially, do not
re-freeze it. Consume it as soon as
possible.
• Respect the expiry date and the storage
information on the package.

6.6 Hints for fresh food refrigeration
• Good temperature setting that ensures
preservation of fresh food is a temperature
less than or equal to +4°C.
Higher temperature setting inside the
appliance may lead to shorter shelf life of
food.
• Cover the food with packaging to preserve
its freshness and aroma.
