Food Preservation

Your Fhiaba is designed to ensure precise, constant temperatures and

appropriate humidity levels in all compartments.

In addition, the double refrigeration 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 characteris-

tics 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 im-

proper 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.

Bear in mind that the Crisper-Fresco area is the area for preserving the

most delicate fresh foods, since it ensures constant average tempera-

ture near freezing.

Periodically check that all foods are in a perfect state of preserva-

tion. It is usually quite clear when a food item is deteriorated, due to

mold, unpleasant odor and 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.
