• Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food manufacturer.
• Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary. Increasing
the temperature can reduce the storage time of food.
Thawing
• Meats, poultry and fish must be thawed in the refrigerator to prevent the growth of bacteria.
Other products can be thawed in ambient air.
• Small portions can be cooked right out of the freezer. Many ready-to-cook meals can also
be cooked without defrosting them first. Always follow the advice on the packaging.
• Bread and pastries can be defrosted in a hot oven. Microwaves can be used to thaw most
foods. Follow the advice in the instructions for these ovens.
NOTE : In the event of a power cut, if the appliance
stops working for less than 15 hours, there is no risk
of spoilage of the frozen food. However, do not open
the door (the temperature rise time can significantly
decrease if the appliance is not full). As soon as you
notice food starting to thaw, it should be eaten as
quickly as possible. Never refreeze food that has been
thawed.

Defrosting
No-Frost refrigerators and freezers do not produce the formation of frost or ice, so it is not
necessary to remove them.
