Page 10: Freezing Foods
8. FREEZING FOODS For proper storage and freezing, fruit and vegetables should be packed in portions of not more than 1 kg and meat and fish up to a max. of 2 kg. Small packages of food freeze more quickly, giving better conservation of their nutrients and flavour, even after thawing and preparation. -
Page 11: Thawing Frozen Foods
Instructions for the User To prevent deterioration of frozen foods, do not exceed the permitted storage date, which depends on the type of food. 8.2 Thawing frozen foods Partially thawed foods should be eaten as soon as possible. Low temperatures preserve foods but they do not destroy the micro-organisms which are activated after thawing, which may cause the stored foods to deteriorate. -
Page 12: Maintenance And Cleaning

Remove the shelves and accessories, taking care not to apply excessive force when removing. Follow the instructions provided in the "Door Shelves and Containers"... -
