Food is stored in the PerfectFresh zone
at lower temperature than in the
conventional refrigerator section. The
humidity in the PerfectFresh zone can
be regulated to provide the correct
conditions for food stored inside it.
Due to the optimum storage conditions
created within the PerfectFresh zone,
food remains fresh for longer, and
flavour and vitamins are retained.
Storage temperature
The optimum storage temperature for
fresh food which is not sensitive to the
cold is 0 - 3 °C. This is the temperature
range which is automatically
maintained in the PerfectFresh zone.
Food can be stored the PerfectFresh
zone at this temperature without loss of
freshness for considerably longer than
in a standard refrigerator, as the
deterioration process is decelerated at
this temperature.
Remember that the initial freshness
of the food when placed in the
refrigerator/PerfectFresh zone is
crucial for good storage results.
Humidity level
The humidity level in the
PerfectFresh zone depends on:
– moisture content of the
stored food, and
– the quantity of food
being stored.
The regulator can be used to adjust the
humidity level in the PerfectFresh zone.
The closer the storage humidity is to the
moisture content of the food, the crisper
and fresher the food remains over a
longer period, as the water content of
the food is largely retained.
Storing food in the
PerfectFresh zone
compartments
The PerfectFresh zone is divided into
two areas, the dry compartment and
the humidity-controlled compartment.
The dry compartment
The dry compartment has a relatively
low humidity level that is approximately
the same as that in the refrigerator.
Therefore, the main advantage of the
dry compartment is the low
temperature, rather than the humidity.
– The dry compartment is ideal for
storing particularly sensitive foods,
such as fresh fish, shellfish, meat,
poultry, sausages, dairy products
and salads.
Please note that foods rich in protein
deteriorate faster than others.
Shellfish, for example, deteriorates
faster than fish, and fish deteriorates
faster than meat.
