8. FOOD STORAGE
EN
7.1 Lighting
To provide optimum interior lighting, LED strips illuminate the refrigerator
compartment from the top and sets of LED lights directly illuminate different
areas of the refrigerator compartment. In case of malfunction and/or wearing
out of the lighting system, the repair should be carried out by a qualified
Fulgor Milano Service technician.
8.1 General directions
Your appliance is designed to ensure precise, constant temperatures and
appropriate humidity levels in all compartments (where applicable).
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 refrigerator in the most effective and safe manner to
keep your foods in the best way for as long as possible.
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 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.

EN 8. FOOD STORAGE
8.2 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. Keep an insulated 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 temperature for at least two hours before placing them in the
refrigerator, unless you have activated the Max Cool function before.
When placing foods in the appliance Check the refrigeration temperature of the
various compartments on the control panel: > The refrigerator temperature must
be +45°F (+8°C) or lower. > Follow the recommendations regarding the
preservation times and temperatures indicated in the tables to follow. > Keep
raw meat, fish and poultry separate from other foods and avoid any possible
drippings. > When placing your meat, fish or poultry in the refrigerator,
leave them in the original packaging, unless the packaging is ripped or
punctured. Repeated handling could introduce bacteria into these foods. >
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.
After a prolonged interruption of electrical power, once the electrical power
is reactivated, an audible signal will indicate if the temperature has been
raised above normal levels. In addition to this the display will show for one
minute the highest temperature 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.

10.1 Troubleshooting Guide
If you notice malfunctions in your appliance, use this guide before calling
for service: this guide can help you personally resolve the problem or could
provide important information to be conveyed to the service technician to
ensure rapid and effective repair. Display message and audible alarms. A
malfunction is usually indicated by the display. Problems that cannot be
solved by the user are reported through a fault code. Keep in mind, however,
that in messages or alarms they may appear for particular conditions of use or
during start-up. In these cases, deactivate the audible alarm by pressing the
Alarm button and leave the appliance running and limit the opening of the
doors to the maximum for about 10-12 hours. The refrigerator does not work. Is
the appliance connected to the electrical power supply? Is electrical power
available at the electricity socket? Is the Unit button activated? Is the unit
in Demo’ Mode? The refrigerator is warmer than usual. Does the display show a malfunction code? Is the temperature adjusted correctly? Were the doors or drawers open for a long period of time? Were large quantities of food recently inserted? Is the unit inDemo’ Mode? Is there something preventing the door
or drawer from closing / sealing properly? The compressor is running for a
long time period. Bear in mind that during very hot weather and with very high
temperatures in the room it is normal that the compressor remains on for
prolonged periods of time. Were the doors or drawers open for a long period of
time? Were large quantities of food recently inserted? Check that the doors
are closed and that the food or containers do not obstruct the perfect closure
of the door. Is one or more compartments in Max Cool Mode? If you hear unusual
noises. It is normal to hear noises from the fans or compressors during
operation or during the defrost phase. Noise could be more marked depending on
the position of the appliance and the surrounding
environment.
Condensation inside and outside of the refrigerator. If the climate is very
humid, the formation of condensation is normal. Opening the door or drawers
for prolonged periods of time can contribute to the formation of condensation.
In any case, make sure that the doors are always completely closed.
Ice or frost build up inside the refrigerator. Did you leave the doors open
for a long period of time? Do the doors close completely? If the doors do not
close completely, contact your installer.
Unpleasant odors inside the refrigerator. Clean the appliance completely
according to the instructions. Hermetically cover all the food. Do not
conserve food for prolonged periods of time.
The doors are difficult to open. The appliance is designed to ensure a fully
hermetic closure. When the door is closed, a vacuum condition can occur: in
this case it is necessary to wait a few seconds until the pressure balances
before opening the door.
Appliance is cooling but lights and display are not working. Check to see if
the appliance was accidently placed into Sabbath Mode.
If the unit you purchased was used as a showroom model it may be in a special
energy-saving mode called Demo Mode where the appliance appears to be
operating (lights work and false temperatures are displayed) but no cooling
actually takes place. If you suspect your appliance is in Demo Mode follow the
procedure for disabling Demo Mode described in this manual.
