Storing food in the PerfectFresh Active zone
60
PerfectFresh Active zone
The PerfectFresh Active 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
Active zone is controlled automatically
and maintained at 0 to 3 °C. While
lower than the temperature in a
conventional refrigerator, this is the
optimum temperature range for storing
fresh food which is not sensitive to
cold.
The humidity level in the PerfectFresh
Active zone can also be regulated to
suit the food being stored. If the
humidifier
is switched on, water
vapour is supplied to the stored fruit
and vegetables. The humidifier
switches on approximately every
90 minutes and each time the appliance
door is opened. Food retains its own
moisture if stored at a higher humidity
and so does not dry out as quickly.
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
Active zone approx. 30 to 60 minutes
before using it. The aroma and taste
do not fully develop until the food has
reached room temperature.
