How to maintain good food quality
Always take the following precautions:
Place any packages of raw meat, fishor poultry in plastic bags so
that they do not drip on other foods.
Purchase meat, poultry and fishlast. 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 quan-
tity 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, fishand poultry separate from other foods and
avoid any possible drippings.
When placing in the refrigerator your meat, fishor 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 com-
partment.
When placing foods in
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.
