9.2 How to maintain good food quality

When buying groceries
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 Max Cool. 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 preservation period.
> When possible, let warm foods adjust to room
temperature for at least two hours before placing
them in the refrigerator, unless you have activated
the Max Cool function before.
When placing foods in
Check the refrigeration temperature of the various
compartments on the control panel:
> The refrigerator temperature must be +45°F (+8°C
) or lower and the freezer temperature must be +0°F
(-18°C)
> 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 foods in
> When placing in the refrigerator your meat, fish
or poultry, leave these in their original packaging,
unless the packaging is ripped or punctured.
Repeated handling could introduce 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.
Notes
When a high level of humidity is present
either in the environment or in the foods
placed in the Fresco drawers, the bottom of
the Fresco compartment might be covered
36
with some water or ice (if the temperature is
set between +32°F and 28°F (+0°C and -2C°).
Such condition is normal and it is due
to the high humidity levels 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 towel.
If a thin layer of ice has formed, set the
temperature of the Fresco compartment to
+36°F (+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.
Warning
After a prolonged
electrical power, 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
