you have bought. You should not exceed these.

ARRANGING FOOD IN YOUR REFRIGERATOR

The temperature inside your refrigerator is not uniform. Some areas are colder than others
and you must store your food in the appropriate areas according to their type to ensure that
they can be kept safely.
Leave a space between the food items to allow the air to circulate freely and avoid different
products contaminating each other.
Do not put packages and food in contact with the wall at the back of the appliance, this is a
particularly cold and damp area of the appliance and water droplets and frost condense
there as part of your refrigerator's normal operation.
The coldest area, indicated by the logo, is designed for delicate, sensitive and highly
perishable food: meat, poultry, fish, cooked meats, prepared dishes, ready-made salads,
egg or cream-based dishes and pastries, fresh pasta, pastry, pizza/quiches, fresh produce
and raw milk cheese, ready-to-use vegetables sold in plastic bags and, more generally, any
fresh product whose consume-by date is linked to its storage at a temperature of +4°C or
below.

FROZEN AND DEEP- FROZEN FOOD

Your domestic appliance enables you to freeze food, it lowers its core temperature rapidly
and you can therefore keep it longer.
Deep-freezing is an industrial process that is quicker and more intense that domestic
freezing. The products you purchase from the shops are deep-frozen.

PREPARING FOOD FOR FREEZING

Freezing does not sterilize. It is therefore important to observe some simple hygiene
rules when preparing your food for freezing: wash your hands before you touch the
food and clean the kitchen tools you have just used before using them again.
Only freeze fresh, good quality food. Refer to the table "Food Freezing Guide" to know which
products you can freeze and how long you can keep them.
Blanch fruit and vegetables before freezing them to preserve their color, smell, taste and
vitamins: plunge them in boiling water for few moments.
Divide the food you wish to freeze into small individual portions corresponding to one meal
each. Small portions freeze quicker at their core.
Pack the food hermetically so that they do not lose their flavor or dry up. Use plastic bags,
polyethylene film, aluminum foil or special freezer containers for this. If you are using plastic
bags, compress them to eliminate the air before sealing them hermetically.
Note on each package:
▪
The freezing date
▪
The consume-by date
▪
The type of food contained
▪
The number of portions contained
If you are purchasing deep-frozen food, pick it up last when you are shopping.
