Storage results for food stored
in the PerfectFresh Pro zone
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 use the appliance for storing
fresh food. The condition of the food
when it is first placed in the appliance
is an important factor in determining
how long it stays fresh.
– Clean the PerfectFresh Pro compart-
ments before storing food in them.
– Allow very moist food to drain before
placing it in the PerfectFresh Pro
zone.
– Do not store food which is sensitive
to cold in the PerfectFresh Pro zone
(see "Food which is not suitable for
storing in the refrigerator").
– Select the correct PerfectFresh Pro
compartment as well as the correct
position for the humidity controlled
compartment regulator (humidity not
increased or humidity increased).
– Increased humidity
/
in the hu-
midity controlled compartment is
achieved by the moisture present in
the food being stored, i.e. the more
food stored in the compartment, the
higher the humidity.
If too much moisture has collected in
the compartment and the food has
been affected, select the
setting.
Otherwise dry the floor and under-
neath the lid with a cloth and place a
rack or similar item in the compart-
ment so that moisture can then drip
down.
If the humidity level becomes too low
at the
setting, wrap the food in
airtight packaging.
– If you think that the temperature in
the PerfectFresh Pro zone is too high
or too low, try regulating it slightly by
selecting a different level. See "Ad-
justing the temperature in the
PerfectFresh Pro zone
".
Under certain circumstances, a setting
of Level
1
to Level
4
can cause tem-
peratures below zero to be reached.
Food could freeze.
– If the adjustment is not enough, try
regulating it by altering the temperat-
ure of the refrigerator section slightly
by 1 to 2 °C. The temperature must
be increased if ice crystals start to
form on the floor of the PerfectFresh
Pro compartments as otherwise the
cold temperature will damage the
food.
