Storing food in the PerfectFresh Active zone
64
Observe the following tips 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 place fresh food in the appliance. The initial condition of the food is crucial
to maintaining freshness.
Clean the compartments in the PerfectFresh Active zone before storing food in
them.
Very wet food should be dried off before storing it.
Do not store food which is sensitive to cold in the PerfectFresh Active zone (see
“Storing food in the refrigerator section – Food which is not suitable for storage
in the refrigerator section”).
Select the correct PerfectFresh Active compartment for the food as well as the
correct position for the compartment cover (humidity not increased
or humidity
increased
).
An increased humidity level
in the humidity-controlled compartment is
achieved with the moisture present in the food being stored if the food is stored
unwrapped. The more food stored in the compartment, the higher the humidity.
If too much moisture collects in the compartment at the
setting and the food
is affected, dry the floor and underneath the cover with a cloth, or place a rack
or similar item in the compartment so that excess moisture can drip down.
If the humidity level is too low despite the
setting, wrap the food in airtight
packaging.
If you think that the temperature in the PerfectFresh Active zone is too high or
too low, try regulating it slightly first by changing the temperature in the refriger-
ator section by 1 or 2 °C. If ice crystals start to form on the floor of the
PerfectFresh Active compartments, increase the temperature as otherwise the
cold temperature will damage the food.
If adjusting the temperature in the refrigerator section does not remedy the prob-
lem, adjust the temperature in the PerfectFresh Active zone (see “The correct
temperature”).
