Food stored in the refrigerator should be kept in closed containers or appropriate packaging to prevent them from emitting or receiving odours. Do not store inflammable, volatile, and explosive substances in the refrigerator. Bottles with high alcohol content should be tightly sealed and stored in an upright position. Some organic solutions, essential oils in lemon and orange peel, butter acid, etc. may damage the plastic surfaces in case of a prolonged contact, causing damage and premature ageing of these materials. Unpleasant odour warns of lacking cleanliness of the appliance or perished contents (see Cleaning the Appliance). • Only choose food with undamaged packaging, stored in freezers at temperatures of -18°C or lower. • Do not purchase food covered in frost as this indicates they have been partly defrosted several times and that they are of inferior quality. In case of an increase in temperature, storage time will be shorter and quality will deteriorate. FROZEN FOOD STORAGE TIME Recommended storage time in the freezer Type of food fruit, beef vegetables, veal, poultry Venison Pork minced meat bread, pastry, ready-to-eat meals, lean entrails smoked sausage, fatty fish Time from 10 to 12 months from 8 to 10 months from 6 to 8 months from 4 to 6 months 4 months 3 months 2 months 1 month DEFROSTING FROZEN FOOD Freezing the food does not kill the microorganisms.
