Place food at room temperature in the part of the freezer compartment where there is no frozen food. • Do not eat ice cubes, water ices or ice lollies immediately after taking them out of the freezer. Risk of frostbites. • Do not re-freeze defrosted food. If the food has defrosted, cook it, cool it down and then freeze it. 6.3 Hints for storage of frozen food • Good temperature setting that ensures preservation of frozen food products is a temperature less than or equal to -18°C. Higher temperature setting inside the appliance may lead to shorter shelf life. • The whole freezer compartment is suitable for storage of frozen food products. • Leave enough space around the food to allow air to circulate freely. • For adequate storage refer to food packaging label to see the shelf life of food. • It is important to wrap the food in such a way that prevents water, humidity or condensation from getting inside. 6.4 Shopping tips After grocery shopping: • Ensure that the packaging is not damaged - the food could be deteriorated. If the package is swollen or wet, it might have not been stored in the optimal conditions and defrosting may have already started. • To limit the defrosting process buy frozen goods at the end of your grocery shopping and transport them in a thermal and insulated cool bag. • Place the frozen foods immediately in the freezer after coming back from the shop. • If food has defrosted even partially, do not re-freeze it. Consume it as soon as possible. • Respect the expiry date and the storage information on the package. 6.5 Shelf life for freezer compartment Type of food Bread Fruits (except citrus) Vegetables Leftovers without meat Dairy food: Butter Soft cheese (e.g. mozzarella) Hard cheese (e.g. parmesan, cheddar) Seafood: Fatty fish (e.g. salmon, mackerel) Lean fish (e.g. cod, flounder) Shrimps Shucked clams and mussels Cooked fish Meat: Shelf life (months) 3 6 - 12 8 - 10 1 - 2 6 - 9 3 - 4 6 2 - 3 4 - 6 12 3 - 4 1 - 2
