Storing deepĆfrozen
food and making ice
When purchasing frozen food,
observe the following:
S Check that the packaging is not
damaged.
S Check the sellĆby date.
S The temperature of the supermarket
freezer should be -18 °C or lower.
If not, the shelf life of the frozen food
is reduced.
S Purchase deepĆfrozen food last.
Wrap food in newspaper or place
in a cool bag and take home.
S At home immediately place deepĆfrozen
food in the freezer compartment.
Close the freezer compartment door
properly. Consume the frozen food
before the useĆby date expires.
S Do not refreeze thawed food.
Exception: If the food has been used
for a ready meal (boiling or frying),
this ready meal can be refrozen.
Making ice cubes
Fill the ice tray ¾ full with water and place
in the bottom of the freezer compartment
drawer. If required, loosen the frozen ice
cube tray with a blunt implement (spoon
handle, etc.). Do not use pointed or
sharpĆedged implements!
Loosen the ice cubes by briefly holding
the ice cube tray under running water
or bend slightly.
