9. FOOD PRESERVATION

9.1 General directions

Your Fulgor Milano 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
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 Fresh area is the area for pre-
serving the most delicate fresh foods, since it en-
sures constant average temperature near freezing.
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
