In the vegetable / salad crisper bin provided.
• Milk and other liquids should be sealed with lids and placed in the bottle shelf in the door.
• Please Note: The ambient temperature of the freshly stored food and how often the door is
opened, affects the temperature in the refrigerator and freezer compartments. If required,
change the thermostat temperature settings.
STORING FROZEN FOOD:
All frozen food products you purchase should be placed in the freezer as soon as possible to avoid
the frozen food from defrosting and spoiling.
All storage recommendations printed on the packaging of frozen food by the manufacturer should
always be followed.

HOW TO THAW FROZEN FOOD:
Thaw at room temperatures. Don’t forget that thawing in a warm area encourages the
growth of bacteria.
Always make sure there are no ice crystals in the food before cooking, particularly with meat
and fish. These crystals indicate that the food is not fully thawed and may result in lower
temperatures when cooking. Lower cooking temperatures may not destroy bacteria.
Cook food as soon as possible after thawing.
Drain off and throw away any liquid lost during thawing.
THAWING FROZEN VEGETABLES:
For some food, it is unnecessary to thaw food before cooking. Vegetables and pasta can be
added directly to boiling water or steam cooked. Frozen sauces and soups can be put into a
saucepan and heated gently until thawed.
FREEZING FRESH FOOD:
• Ensure that your freezing operations are carried out under the most hygienic conditions, as
freezing alone does not improve the food. Never put hot or even warm foodstuffs into the
freezer. Prior to storing the food, pack it in plastic bags, aluminium foil or food freezer
containers and place into the freezer without placing them in contact with food that has
already been frozen. See the technical data sheet at the rear of this instruction book for the
maximum amount in kilograms of fresh food that can be frozen in any 24 hour period with a
room temperature of 25 degrees C never freeze more than the maximum permissible.
• It could be necessary to reduce the quantity to be frozen if freezing every day is anticipated.
• All fresh food to be frozen should be placed in the top compartment of the freezer if
Possible
