• Frozen food should be transported in appropriate containers and placed in the freezer as
soon as possible.
• Do not purchase frozen food if the packaging shows signs of humidity and abnormal
swelling. It is probable that it has been stored at an unsuitable temperature and that the
contents have deteriorated.
• The storage life of frozen food depends on the room temperature, the thermostat
setting, how often the door is opened, the type of food, and the length of time required to
transport the product from the shop to your home. Always follow the instructions printed
on the packaging and never exceed the maximum storage life indicated.
• If the freezer door has been left open for a long time or not closed properly, frost will form
and can prevent efficient air circulation. To resolve this, unplug the freezer and wait for it
to defrost. Clean the freezer once it has fully defrosted.
• The freezer volume stated on the label is the volume without baskets, covers, and so on.
• Do not refreeze thawed food. It may pose a danger to your health and cause problems
such as food poisoning.
NOTE: If you attempt to open the freezer door immediately after closing it, you will find
that it will not open easily. This is normal. Once equilibrium has been reached, the door will
open easily.
• Use the fast freezing shelf to freeze home cooking (and any other food which needs to
be frozen quickly) more quickly because of the freezing shelf's greater freezing power.
Fast freezing shelf is the upper shelf of the freezer compartment.
