Vegetable container with
humidity control
~
Fig.
,
The vegetable container is the best
storage location for fresh fruit and
vegetables. You can adjust the air
humidity in the vegetable container via
the humidity controller and a special
seal. This allows fresh fruit and
vegetables to be stored twice as long
as with conventional storage.
The air humidity in the vegetable
container can be set according to
the type and amount of products to be
stored:
■
Mainly fruit as well as for a large
load – set lower air humidity
■
Mainly vegetables as well as for
a mixed load or small load – set
higher air humidity
Notes
■
Fruit sensitive to cold (e.g.
pineapple, banana, papaya and
citrus fruit) and vegetables sensitive
to cold (e.g. aubergines, cucumbers,
zucchini, peppers, tomatoes and
potatoes) should be stored outside
the refrigerator at temperatures of
approx. +8 °C – +12 °C for optimum
preservation of quality and flavour.
■
Condensation may form in the
vegetable container depending on
the food and quantity stored.
Remove condensation with a dry
cloth and adjust air humidity in the
vegetable container with
the humidity controller.

Freezer c ompartment
The freezer compartment is suitable for:
■
storing frozen food
■
making ice cubes
■
freezing food
The temperature in the freezer
compartment depends on the
temperature in the refrigerator
compartment.
The freezer compartment can be used
to store perishable foods long-term
almost without any noticeable reduction
in quality as the low temperatures
considerably slow down or stop
deterioration. Appearance, flavour and
all valuable ingredients are largely
retained.
The time between putting fresh food in
the freezer compartment and it freezing
solid depends on the following factors:
■
set temperature
■
type of food
■
amount of food in the freezer
compartment
■
quantity and type of storage
