Advice for storing frozen food
When purchasing frozen food products:

•When shopping, leave frozen food purchases until last and transport the products in a thermally insulated cool bag.
•Once at home, place the frozen foods immediately in the appliance.
•Avoid, or reduce temperature variations to the minimum. Respect the
•Always observe the storage information on the package.
Note:
Eat fully or partially defrosted foods immediately. Do not refreeze unless the food is cooked after it has thawed. Once cooked, the thawed food can be refrozen.

•Do not open the appliance lid except to place ice packs (if provided) over the frozen foods on the right and left of the appliance. This will slow down the rise in temperature.
