Frozen food can be stored anywhere inside the freezer, but

should be kept at least 5 mm below the top edge.
Never exceed the maximum storage time for purchased

frozen food.
When you buy frozen food, make sure that it has been

stored at the correct temperature. Do not buy products

which have wet or damaged packaging.
Place purchased products in your freezer as quickly as

possible. We recommend using an insulated bag to bring

such products home with you.
Never place bottles, warm objects, or fizzy drinks in the

freezer.

Only use fresh food of the best quality. Cool hot dishes to

room temperature as quickly as possible before placing

them in the freezer.
Wrap food carefully in freezer foil, or use the special freezer

boxes or bags which are on the market. Divide food into

small portions before freezing - this ensures that freezing is

more rapid, and means that you only need to defrost the

amount needed for immediate consumption.
Remember that defrosted food must not be re-frozen.
However, dishes which have been made using defrosted

food may be frozen.
Mark the freezer packaging with the date of freezing. We

recommend keeping a record of the contents of your

freezer.
If freezing is too slow, the quality of the food being frozen

deteriorates. Consequently, do not freeze larger amounts

than stated in the freezer’s data plate. If you wish to freeze

food several days in a row, the maximum freezing

capacity stated per day is reduced by about one-third.
As far as possible, keep the lid closed during freezing. If

you know nothing about home freezing, we recommend

that you purchase a book containing advice and

guidelines.

In general food should not be defrosted at room

temperature, since this increases the risk of bacteria

growth. It is best to defrost large portions of meat or

poultry in the refrigerator, and this also applies to food

which is to be consumed as it is (e.g. fruit, butter and

sliced meat).
Small portions of food can be cooked straight from the

freezer. A good number of ready-to-cook dishes can also

be cooked without defrosting. Always observe the

instructions on product packaging.
Bread tastes good when defrosted in a moderate oven.

Microwave ovens can be used for the rapid defrosting of

most frozen foods. Observe the instructions for use of

the microwave oven concerned.
