Food is stored at a lower temperature in
the PerfectFresh zone than in the
refrigerator section. The humidity in the
PerfectFresh zone compartment can
also be regulated to suit the food being
stored.
Providing ideal storage conditions
ensures that food stays fresh
considerably longer while retaining
both flavour and vitamins.
Storage temperature
The optimum storage temperature for
fresh food which is not sensitive to cold
is 0 - 3 °C. This is the temperature
range which is automatically
maintained in the PerfectFresh zone.
Food can be stored there at this
temperature without loss of freshness
for considerably longer than in a stan-
dard refrigerator, as the deterioration
process is decelerated at this
temperature.
Remember that the fresher the food
when placed in the appliance, the
longer it will stay fresh.
Humidity level
The humidity level in the PerfectFresh
compartment will depend on
– the moisture content of the food
being stored and
– the quantity of food being stored.
Use the regulator to adjust the humidity
level in the PerfectFresh compartment.
The closer the storage humidity 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.
Do not store explosive materials in
the appliance or any products
containing propellants (e.g. spray
cans). Danger of explosion.
If storing alcohol with a high
percentage proof, make sure it is
tightly closed, and store upright.
Please be aware if storing cooking
oil in the appliance that traces of oil
can cause stress cracks to occur in
plastic components.
Food must not touch the back wall
as it may freeze to the back wall.
To allow air to circulate efficiently,
do not pack food too closely
together in the refrigerator.
