FOOD PRESERVATION

The appliance is designed to ensure precise, constant temperatures and appropriate humidity
levels in all compartments.
In addition, the refrigeration system ensures that humidity 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 multiply 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 Freezer/FreshSelect drawer in the most effective and safe manner to keep your foods in
™
the best way for as long as possible.
If using the drawer in Fridge or ExtendFresh mode, 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 an 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.
