The tar freezer compartment may be used to store frozen products for the time indicated on the packaging and to freeze fresh food by placing it on the shelf in the top of the freezer. Frozen products should instead be stored in the bottom of the freezer compartment to prevent contact with food still to be frozen. The rating plate shows the quantity of fresh food that can be frozen in 24 hours. Important Wrap and seal fresh food in: x Aluminium foil, cling film, air and water-tight plastic bags, polythene containers with lids or special freezer containers. x The freezer compartment is able to maintain correct storage temperatures even in the case of power failure. If this is the case, do not open the freezer door until power is restored. Important Refer to the adjacent table for fresh food storage times (months). When you purchase frozen food, make sure: x The packaging is undamaged (frozen food in damaged packaging may have deteriorated). If the package bulges or is marked by liquid stains, the product has not been correctly stored and may have partially thawed. x When shopping, leave frozen food purchases until last and transport items in insulated bags. x Place items in the freezer as soon as you get home. x If food has partially thawed, do not refreeze. Consume within 24 hours. x Avoid subjecting frozen foods to temperature variations. Observe the �Best before date� on the packaging. x Always observe the storage information on packages.
