When you have leftovers
• Keep leftovers in the refrigerator or in the freezer
in small closed containers. Before placing them in
the refrigerator, make sure that they have cooled
off. Therefore let at least two hours pass after
cooking and make sure that there is adequate air
circulation around the container, so that the food
can cool off quickly.
• Date leftover containers and use them within the
recommended time.
• Completely cover and heat leftovers before
serving.
• Boil sauces and soups. Consume leftovers after
they have been heated to a temperature of at least
75°C (167°F).
• If you think the food is gone bad, or when in
doubt, throw it away.
A characteristic unique to Fhiaba products is the
combination of micro beaded stainless steel crisper
drawers and the main stainless steel interior liner that
help generate and maintain optimum internal
humidity levels for extended preservation of fruit and
vegetables.
A natural condition that may occur, is the
accumulation of water on the bottom of the
refrigeration compartment below the bottom crisper.
This is dependant on a number of factors, ambient
temperature and humidity levels in the surrounding
environment, moisture levels on fruit and vegetables
Recommendations for conserving fresh food
Wash vegetables in cold water and dry well. Place vegetables in vacuum packed
Vegetables
containers, plastic containers or vegetable bags in a Dynamic 0° Drawer.
Wash and dry fresh fruit. Pack very aromatic fruit in plastic bags.
Fruit
Fruit should be placed in the high humidity Dynamic 0° compartment.
Place in the refrigerator in its original packaging.
Packaged meat
After opening, wrap the remaining food in plastic bags or aluminum foil.
Fresh meat, fish
Remove the original packaging, then put in plastic bags or containers and immediately
and poultry
place in the refrigerator.
Place the eggs in their package or container into the refrigerator without washing them.
Eggs
Check the "best used within" date and at any rate use the eggs within two weeks of
purchasing.
These should be kept in their original closed packaging. Place these on refrigerator
Milk, cream and
shelves and consume these within five days of purchase.
fresh cheeses
Place these in the Fresco drawer in their original packaging.
Cheeses
Once opened, close these hermetically in plastic bags or aluminum foil.
Let these cool off and cover hermetically with aluminum foil or place in sealed

containers to prevent drying or the spread of odors.
placed in the refrigerator, frequency in which the
main door is opened and exposed to the ambient
environment.
This temporary presence of water on the bottom is
absolutely normal, and under normal operating
conditions should be eliminated. However, in rare
occasions where there may be an excessive amount of
condensation simply remove the bottom drawer and
wipe access water away.
When a high level of humidity is present either in
the environment or in the foods placed in the
Dynamic 0° drawers, the bottom of the Dynamic 0°
compartment might be covered with some water or
ice (if the temperature is set between 0° and -2°).
Such condition is normal and it is due to the high
humidity levels of the Dynamic 0° compartment;
high humidity together with low temperatures is
what guarantees a longer preservation of foods.
Water or ice can disappear on its own if the air
humidity level should lower; it is also possible to
remove the water with a towel. If a thin layer of ice
has formed, set the temperature of the Dynamic 0°
compartment to ¬+2° and after one day remove
the water with a towel.
If the layer of ice is thicker, it might be necessary
to shut off the Dynamic 0° compartment for one
day in order to melt it.
