Your refigerator 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 Fresco area is the area for preserving the most
delicate fresh foods, since it ensures constant average temperature
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.
