Storing food in the PerfectFresh zone
34
The PerfectFresh 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 temperature in the PerfectFresh
zone is controlled automatically and
maintained at 0 to 3 °C. While lower
than the temperature in a standard
refrigerator, this is the optimum
temperature range for storing fresh food
which is not sensitive to cold. The
deterioration process is decelerated at
this temperature range so food can be
stored without loss of freshness for
considerably longer.
The humidity level in the PerfectFresh
zone can also be regulated to suit the
food being stored. Food retains its own
moisture if stored at a higher humidity
and does not dry out as quickly. This
allows it to stay crisp and fresh for
longer.
Remember that the freshness of the
food when first placed in the
appliance is the most important factor
in determining how long it will stay
fresh.
Take food out of the PerfectFresh zone
approx. 30 to 60 minutes before using
it. The aroma and taste do not fully
develop until the food has reached
room temperature.
The PerfectFresh zone is divided into
two compartments:
– The upper
dry compartment
has a
temperature of 0 °C to 3 °C and the
humidity is not increased.
Use this compartment to store fish,
meat, dairy products and all kinds of
food, provided that it is wrapped.
– The lower
humidity controlled
compartment
has a temperature of
0 °C to 3 °C, and the humidity level is
increased depending on the position
of the slide control:
not increased
or
increased.
With increased humidity use this
compartement to store fruit and
vegetables.
Each type of food has its own
characteristics and requires certain
storage conditions.
