HOW TO OPERATE THE LOW TEMPERATURE
COMPARTMENT
The low temperature compartment, if present, is a
star compartment.
For recommended storage times for frozen foods, see
the packaging of individual food products.
When purchasing frozen food products:
• Make sure the packaging is not damaged, since the
product quality may have deteriorated. If the package is
swollen or has damp patches, it may not have been stored
under optimal conditions and defrosting may have already
begun.
• When shopping, leave frozen food purchases until last and
transport the products in a thermally insulated cool bag.
• Place the items in the low temperature compartment as
soon as you get home.
• If food has defrosted even partially, do not re-freeze it.
Consume within 24 hours.
• Avoid, or reduce temperature variations to the minimum.
Respect the best-before date on the package.
• Always follow the storage instructions on the frozen food
packages.
Making ice cubes
• Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 with water and place it on the
bottom of the low temperature compartment.
Do not use sharp or pointed instruments to detach the tray if
it is stuck to the low temperature compartment bottom.
