To provide optimum interior lighting, LED strips il-
luminate the refrigerator compartment from the top
and sets of LED lights directly illuminate different ar-
eas of the refrigerator compartment, of the Crisper-
Fresco drawers and the freezer drawer.
In case of malfunction and/or wearing out of the
lighting system, the repair should be carried out by a
qualified Fhiaba Service technician.
9.1 General directions
Your Fhiaba is designed to ensure precise, constant
temperatures and appropriate humidity levels in all
compartments.
In addition, the double refrigeration ensures that fro-
zen 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 characteristics over the passage of time. This
change begins long before the food is consumed,
since foods contain micro organisms which multi-
ply and can cause deterioration. This process occurs

9. FOOD PRESERVATION
more rapidly due to improper handling, preservation
temperatures and humidity levels.
It is therefore recommended to follow the directions
presented below which will permit using your refrig-
erator/freezer in the most effective and safe man-
ner 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 temperature near freez-
ing.
Periodically check that all foods are in a perfect
state of preservation. 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 exces-
sive 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 deterio-
ration of food can also cause poisoning and illness.
When in doubt, throw the food away.

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 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 quantity that can be consumed during your
planned preservation period.
>
When possible, let warm foods adjust to room tem-
perature for at least two hours before placing them
in the refrigerator, unless you have activated the
Shopping function before.
When placing foods in
Check the refrigeration temperature of the various
compartments on the control panel:
>
The refrigerator temperature must be 7°C (46°F)
or lower and the freezer temperature must be -18°C
(0°F)
>
Follow the recommendations regarding the pres-
ervation times and temperatures indicated in the ta-
bles to follow.
>
Keep raw meat, fish and poultry separate from oth-
er 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, un-
less 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 ei-
ther in the environment 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 levels of the Fresco compart-
ment; high humidity together with low tem-
peratures is what guarantees a longer pres-
ervation of foods.
Water or ice can disappear on its own if the
air humidity level should lower; it is also pos-
sible to remove the water with a towel. If a
thin layer of ice has formed, set the tempera-
ture 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 neces-
sary to shut off the Fresco compartment for
one day in order to melt it.
Warning
After a prolonged interruption of electri-
cal power, once the electrical power is re-
activated, 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 temper-
ature 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.
