› To freeze fresh food, ensure that as much of the surface of the food as possible is in contact
with the cooling surface.

› Before freezing fresh food, divide it into portions that can be consumed in one sitting.
› Consume thawed frozen food within a short period of time after defrosting
› Never place warm food in the freezer compartment as it will thaw the frozen food.

date of purchase.
› When purchasing frozen food, make sure that it has been stored under appropriate
conditions and that the packaging is not damaged.
› 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 band abnormal
swelling. It is probable that it has been stored at an unsuitable temperature and that the

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.
› The maximum amount of fresh food (in kg) that can be frozen in 24 hours is indicated on

open easily. This is normal. Once equilibrium has been reached, the door will open easily.
