ÒVital & frischÓ 0¡C compartment
¥ In the
ÒVital & frischÓ 0¡C compartment the
temperature is controlled automatically. It stays
constantly at about 0¡C, no adjustment is
necessary.
¥ The constant storage temperature of about 0¡C
and the relative humidity of between 45 and 90 %
provide optimal conditions for the various kinds of
food.
¥ You can therefore store a variety of fresh food in
the ÒVital & frischÓ 0¡C compartment, where it will
last up to 3 times longer with better quality
compared to normal refrigerator compartments.
This allows you to stock more fresh food. Taste,
degree of freshness, quality and nutritional values
(vitamins and minerals) are well preserved. Loss of
weight in vegetables and fruit diminishes. Food
yields a higher degree of nutritional value.
¥ The ÒVital & frischÓ 0¡C compartment is also
suitable for defrosting food. In this case the thawed
food can be stored up to two days in the ÒVital &
frischÓ 0¡C compartment.
¥ The compartment has stops to prevent the drawers
from falling out when fully extended.
To remove the drawers (e.g. for cleaning
purposes), pull them out as far as the stops, lift and
extract.

Hints
Freezing of fresh food and storage of frozen food
¥ Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be
rapidly and completely frozen and to make it
possible subsequently to thaw only the quantity
required.
¥ Wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene
and make sure that the packages are airtight.
¥ Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food
which is already frozen, thus avoiding a rise in
temperature of the latter.
¥ Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your
hands could stick to the food and cause skin
abrasions.
¥ It is advisable to show the freezing-in date on each
individual pack to enable you to keep tab of the
storage time.
¥ Be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred from
the foodstore to the freezer in the shortest possible
time.
¥
Do not put carbonated liquids (fizzy drinks,
etc.) in the freezing compartment as they may
burst.
¥ Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and
cannot be refrozen.
Humidity control
¥ Both drawers can be used according to the desired
storage conditions independently of each other
with lower or higher humidity.
Regulation for each drawer is separate and is
controlled using the slide valve at the front of the
drawer.
¥
ãDryÒ:
low air humidity -
up to 50 % relative
humidity.
This humidity level is reached when both sliders
are set into this position
and the ventilation
openings are wide open.
¥
ãHumidÒ:
high relative humidity - up to 90 %.
This humidity level is reached when both sliders
are set
in this position
and the ventilation
openings are closed. Humidity is kept and can not
escape.
