9.2 Maintaining the Quality of Stored
Foodstuffs
When Food Shopping
Always follow these precautions:
> Always place packs of raw meat, fish or poultry in
suitable containers.
> Purchase meat, fish and poultry last. Do not leave
them in a hot car after going shopping.
Keep a cool bag/box in your car and use it when
temperatures are high or when you have to travel
long distances.
> Check the production and expiry dates on foods to
ensure they are fresh.
>
When buying fresh foodstuffs, be sure not to buy
more than you can eat in a couple of days.
> Leave hot foods to cool down for at least two
hours before placing them in the refrigerator.
When Placing Foods in the Refrigerator
Check the refrigeration temperatures of the various
compartments on the control panel:
>
The temperature of the refrigerator must be 8°C
(46.4°F) or below, and the freezer temperature
must be -18°C (0°F).
> Follow the storage times and temperatures given
in the tables below.
> Keep raw meat, fish and poultry separate from
other foodstuffs, and ensure they cannot drip onto
other items.
>
When placing fish, meat or poultry in the
refrigerator, leave them in their original packages,
unless these are broken or perforated.
Repeated handling increases the chance of bacterial
growth or contamination.
> It is advisable to use dedicated freezer containers
when freezing.
> Date and label packages.
>
Take care to correctly arrange items in such a
way as not to block the cold air circulation openings
inside the appliance.

Notes
In some situations of high ambient humidity,
or with high levels of moisture present in
vegetables or other foods stored in the
fresh drawer, you may notice water in the
bottom of the fresh drawer, or else a layer of
ice if the temperature of this compartment
is set to between 0 and -2 degrees.
This is absolutely normal, and is caused
by the high humidity level which the fresh
drawers must maintain at all times in
order to ensure long conservation times.
The water or ice may disappear by itself
if the humidity level of the air drops;
otherwise, it is possible to dry any water with
a cloth, or else melt the ice by increasing
the temperature to +2 for a day before
removing the water; if this is not sufficient,
shut off the fresh compartment for 12-24
hours before removing the residual water.
Warning
When the power is restored after an extended
power cut, an audible signal will indicate
that the refrigerator temperature has
exceeded the correct storage temperature
threshold, while the displays will show the
highest temperatures measured inside the
compartments for one minute in order to
allow the user to determine how best to use
the foodstuffs.
The displays will resume normal operation
after one minute, while the Alarm
will continue to flash; press the Alarm
button again to display the highest recorded
temperatures once more.
