Storing food in the MasterFresh zone
96
MasterFresh zone
The MasterFresh zone provides ideal
storage conditions for fruit, vegetables,
fish, meat and dairy products. Food
stays fresh considerably longer while
retaining both flavour and vitamins.
The MasterFresh zone comprises a hu-
midity-controlled and a dry compart-
ment.
– Depending on the moisture-regulator
setting, the humidity-controlled
compartment is particularly suitable
for storing fruit and vegetables .
– The dry compartment is suitable for
storing perishable foods such as
fish, meat and dairy products.
Any type of food can in fact be stored
in this compartment, as long as it is
packaged.

Humidity-controlled compartment
with moisture regulator
The humidity level in the humidity-con-
trolled compartment can be regulated
to approximately suit the food being
stored. Food retains its own moisture if
stored at a higher humidity and so does
not dry out as quickly. This allows it to
stay crisp and fresh for longer.
The moisture released by food in stor-
age is kept within the humidity-con-
trolled compartment. The closer the air
humidity in the humidity-controlled
compartment is to the humidity content
of the food, the crisper and fresher the
food remains over a longer period, as
the water content of the food is largely
retained.
The moisture level greatly depends on
the type and quantity of food being
stored, if stored unwrapped.
The temperature in the humidity-con-
trolled compartment is approximately
equivalent to the temperature in the
conventional refrigerator section.
Remember that the fresher the food
when placed in the appliance, the
longer it will stay fresh.
