Using your freezer Freezing - Remember that you should never re-freeze products you have allowed to thaw, even if only partially: cook the food, then either eat (within 24 hours) or re-freeze it. - When freezing fresh foods, remember that they should not touch other previously frozen or deep frozen foods. Place the food that you wish to freeze in the top compartment where the temperature will fall below -18°C, ideal for freezing food properly. Important: never freeze more than the nominal amount of food . indicated on the rating plate at one time. - If a large amount of food is introduced for freezing at one time, the freezer temperature may momentarily increase inside the compartment (red light on). Since this is just a transient situation, the foods already stored in the freezer will not be harmed.
