Sub-Zero 400 Series Use And Care Guide

18
• Place packages of raw meat,
seafood or poultry in plastic
bags to keep them from
dripping on other foods.
• Shop for meat, seafood and
poultry last. Don’t leave these
foods in a hot car when you
have finished shopping. Take
along a cooler in hot weather
or when you have to travel
long distances.
• Check “use-by” or “sell-by”
dates on foods to make sure
they are fresh.
• Use extra care when buying
deli food. Buy only the
amount you will use in 1-2
days. Discard any hot or cold
deli food that may have been
at room temperatures for more
than two hours.
Monitor temperatures of refriger-
ation zones on the electronic
control panel of your Sub-Zero
unit. Refrigerator temperature
should be kept at 45°F or below,
and freezer temperature should
be kept at 0°F.
Follow the recommended refriger-
ator and freezer storage times and
temperatures on pages 21-25.
Store raw meat, poultry and
seafood separate from other foods.
Keep juices from these packages
from dripping on other food.
Never taste food that looks or
smells strange to see if you can
still use it. Discard it.
For refrigerator storage, leave
raw meat, poultry and seafood in
its original wrapper unless it is
torn. Repeated handling can
introduce bacteria to these foods.
For freezer storage, use freezer
wrap, freezer-quality plastic
bags, or aluminum foil over the
commercial wrap if foods will
be stored in the freezer for more
than a couple of months. This
minimizes dehydration and
quality loss. Date and label all
packages.

Keeping Food Safe
to Eat
Foodborne illness is caused by
bacteria such as staphylococcus
aureus, salmonella, clostridium,
perfringens, e coli, and clostri-
dium botulinium. These bacteria
grow rapidly at temperatures
between 40°F and 140°F, a
range that’s called the Danger
Zone. Food should never be left
in the Danger Zone for more
than two hours. When the
bacteria have multiplied to the
millions in warm temperatures,
they cause illness. Some bacteria
cause flu-like symptoms, while
others cause serious illness or
become fatal. Young children,
the elderly, and people who are
already ill are more likely to be-
come sick from food poisoning.
To reduce your risk for food-
borne illness, use the following
techniques to keep your food
safe to eat.
