FOOD PRESERVATION
Your refrigerator is designed to ensure precise, constant temperatures and appropriate
humidity levels in all compartments.
In addition, the refrigeration system ensures that frozen foods and ice do not absorb the odor
of fresh foods and that the humidity in the refrigerator does not freeze and build up frost.
Nevertheless, to properly preserve all of your foods, it is not enough to have an excellent
refrigerator. It is also necessary to know the rules for correct food preservation.
Do bear in mind that all foods will inevitably change their characteristics over the passage
of time. This change begins long before the food is consumed, since foods contain micro
organisms which multiply and can cause deterioration. This process occurs more rapidly due to
improper handling, preservation temperatures and humidity levels.
It is therefore recommended to follow the directions presented below which will permit using
your refrigerator/freezer in the most effective and safe manner to keep your foods in the best
way for as long as possible.
Periodically check that all foods are in a perfect state of preservation. It is usually quite clear
when a food item is deteriorated, due to mold, unpleasant odor and an unpleasant aspect.
Nevertheless, there are cases in which these conditions are not so evident. If you believe that
a food item was kept for an excessive period of time and may be deteriorated, do not consume
this item or even taste it, even if it seems to still be healthy, since the bacteria that cause
deterioration of food can also cause poisoning and illness.
When in doubt, throw the food away.
POWER INTERRUPTIONSPOWER INTERRUPTIONS
After a prolonged power outage, once the electrical power is reactivated, an audible signal will
indicate 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.
