Storing food in the MasterFresh zone
90
The following tips may help if you find that food you have stored does not
keep well (for example, the food wilts or becomes withered after only a short
storage time):
 Only place fresh food in the appliance. The initial condition of the food is crucial
to maintaining freshness.
 Clean the MasterFresh zone before storing food in it.
 Very wet food should be dried off before it is stored in the humidity-controlled
compartment.
 Do not store food which is sensitive to cold in the dry compartment (see
“Storing food in the refrigerator section – Food which is not suitable for storage
in the refrigerator section”).
 Allocate the appropriate settings to food you wish to store (e.g. humid or dry
storage).

Store food loose in the humidity-controlled compartment.
A high humidity level in the humidity-controlled compartment is achieved by the
moisture present in the food being stored.
If the humidity level is not high enough (e.g. too little food is being stored), it can
be increased by placing a damp sponge in the drawer.

If you think that the temperature in the dry compartment is too high or too low,
adjust the temperature in the compartment (see “The correct temperature –
Temperature range”). If ice crystals start to form on the floor of the dry
compartment, increase the temperature as otherwise the cold temperature will
damage the food.
 If too much water collects at the bottom of the humidity-controlled
compartment, dry it with a cloth. If necessary, dry food before placing it in the
appliance or place a rack at the bottom of the humidity-controlled compartment
to allow water to drain off.
