The following tips may help if you find that food you have stored does not
keep well (e.g. food becomes limp or wilts after only being stored for a short
time):
^
Only use the appliance for storing fresh food. The condition of the food when it
is first placed in the appliance is an important factor in determining how long it
stays fresh.
^
Clean the PerfectFresh compartments before placing food in them.
^
Allow very moist food to drain before placing it in the PerfectFresh zone.
^
Do not store food which is sensitive to cold in the PerfectFresh zone
(see "Food which is not suitable for storing in the refrigerator")
^
Select the correct PerfectFresh compartment as well as the correct position for
the humidity controlled compartment regulator (humidity not increased or
humidity increased).
^
Increased humidity
.
in the humidity controlled compartment is achieved via
the moisture present in the food being stored, i.e. the more food stored in the
compartment, the higher the humidity.
It too much moisture has gathered on the floor of the compartment and the food
has been affected, dry the foor with a cloth and place a rack or similar item in
the compartment so that moisture can then drip down.
If the humidity level becomes too low, wrap the food in airtight packaging.
^
If you think that the temperature in the PerfectFresh zone is too high or too low,
try regulating it by altering the temperature of the refrigerator section slightly by
1 to 2 °C.
The temperature must be increased if ice crystals start to form on the floor of the
PerfectFresh zone as otherwise the cold temperature will damage the food.
