foods for the period of time indicated on the food packaging. The freezer can also be used to
freeze fresh food by placing it on the upper rack or drawer, while the already frozen food
should be stored in the other drawers, thus avoiding any contact with food that is still to be
frozen. The quantity of fresh food that can be frozen in a 24 hour period is given on the rating
plate.

you get home.
