Storing food in the MasterFresh zone
89
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 flavor, 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.
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 drawer. The closer
the air humidity in the humidity-con-
trolled 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 it is placed in the appliance, the
longer it will stay fresh!
