John Lewis JLCH200 - Manual (Page 10)

• do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch
food which is already frozen, thus avoiding
a rise in temperature of the latter;
• lean foods store better and longer than
fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life of
food;
• it is advisable to show the use by date on
each individual pack to enable you to keep
tab of the storage time.
Warning! Lolly ices, if consumed
immediately after removal from the
freezer compartment can cause
freezer burns.
Hints for storage of

retailer;
• be sure that frozen foodstuffs are
transferred from the foodstore to the

• not open the lid frequently or leave it open
longer than absolutely necessary.
• Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly
and cannot be refrozen.
• Do not exceed the storage period indicated
by the food manufacturer.
