How to maintain good food quality
Always take the following precautions:
Place any packages of raw meat, fish or poultry in plastic
bags so that they do not drip on other foods.
Purchase meat, poultry and fish last. Do not leave your
groceries in a warm car after shopping. Keep a freezer bag
in your car and use it in case of very high temperatures or
long trips.
Check the production dates and “best before” times on
foods to be sure that they are fresh.
Be very careful when buying fresh foods, and only buy a
quantity that can be consumed during your planned pres-
ervation period.
When possible, let warm foods adjust to room tempera-
ture for at least two hours before placing them in the re-
frigerator, unless you have activated the Shopping function
before.
When buying groceries
When placing foods in
Check the refrigeration temperature of the various com-
partments on the control panel:
The refrigerator temperature must be 8°C (45°F) or lower
and the freezer temperature must be -18°C (0°F)
Follow the recommendations regarding the preservation
times and temperatures indicated in the tables to follow.
Keep raw meat, fish and poultry separate from other
foods and avoid any possible drippings.
When placing in the refrigerator your meat, fish or poultry,
leave these in their original packaging, unless the packag-
ing is ripped or punctured. Repeated handling could intro-
duce bacteria into these foods.
To keep food in the freezer is a good idea to use freezer
containers.
Label and date the packages
Be careful to correctly position the food items on the shelves
in a way that does not obstruct the air circulation vents inside
the compartment.
When placing foods in
Food Preservation
When a high level of humidity is present either in the environ-
ment or in the foods placed in the Fresco drawers, the bottom
of the Fresco compartment might be covered with some water
or ice (if the temperature is set between 0°C and -2C°).
Such condition is normal and it is due to the high humidity le-
vels of the Fresco compartment; high humidity together with
low temperatures is what guarantees a longer preservation of
foods.
Water or ice can disappear on its own if the air humidity level
should lower; it is also possible to remove the water with a to-
wel. If a thin layer of ice has formed, set the temperature of the
Fresco compartment to +2°C and after one day remove the
water with a towel.
If the layer of ice is thicker, it might be necessary to shut off the
Fresco compartment for one day in order to melt it.
After a prolonged interruption of electrical power, once the
electrical power is reactivated, an audible signal will in-
dicate if the temperature has raised above normal levels.
In addition to this the display will show for one minute the
highest temperature detected inside the compartments, to
allow the user to decide how to better use the food items.
After one minute the display will resume normal operation,
while the Alarm button will continue to blink.
Press the Alarm button to display the highest recorded
temperatures.
