EN Storing into the freezer compartment:
• It is recommended to keep freezer setting at
-20°C except extreme ambient conditions.
• 4-6 hours before freezing switch on the Fast
Freeze function to provide faster freezing.
• Hot food must be cooled to room temperature
before storing in the freezer compartment.
• Food cut into small portions will freeze faster and
be easier to defrost and cook.
• It is better to pack food before putting it into the
freezer.
• In order to avoid expiry of storage periods, please
note the freezing date, time limit and name of the
food on the packaging according to the storage
periods of different foods.
• Do not exceed the food storage times
recommended by the food manufacturers. Only
take the required amount of food out of the
freezer.
• Consume defrosted food quickly. Defrosted food
cannot be re-frozen unless it is cooked. It is not
safe to consume uncooked re-frozen fresh food.
• When freezing fresh food, avoid bringing it in
contact with already frozen food. It may cause
thawing of already frozen pieces.
When storing commercially frozen foods,
please follow these guidelines:
Always follow manufacturers' guidelines for the
length of time you should store the food for. Do not
exceed these guidelines!
• Try to keep the length of time between purchase
and storage as short as possible to preserve
food quality.
• Buy frozen foods, which have been stored at a
temperature of –18 °C or below.
• Avoid buying food which has ice or frost on the
packaging – This indicates that the products
might have been partially defrosted and refrozen
at some point – temperature rises affect the
quality of food.
• We recommend a temperature setting of 4°C
for fresh food compartment and -20°C for
freezer compartment to achieve better food
preservation.
• With the exception of extreme conditions in
ambient, if temperature is set to recommended
values as +4°C/-20°C, overall freshness will
be prolonged within fresh food and freezer
compartments. If temperature of fresh food
compartment is set to cooler, fresh fruits and
vegetables may be partially frozen or exposed to
cold injury, while warmer temperature level may
cause faster spoilage of highly perishable foods
(dairy products, meat products).
