5.5 BioFresh compartment
The BioFresh compartment allows some types of fresh food to
be stored up to three times longer than in conventional refriger-
ators, without compromising quality.
For food with an indicated best before date, the date specified
on the packaging always applies.
5.5.1 DrySafe
The DrySafe is suitable for storing dry or wrapped food (e.g.
dairy products, meat, fish, sausages). A relatively dry storage
climate is established here.
5.5.2 HydroSafe
The HydroSafe at the moist setting is suited for storing
unwrapped salad, vegetables and fruit with high inherent mois-
ture. When the drawer is well filled, a dewy climate with up to
90% humidity is established. The humidity in the compartment
depends on the moisture content of the food stored and on the
opening frequency. You can set the humidity yourself.
5.5.3 Setting the humidity in the HydroSafe
u
Low humidity: move the regulator to
the left.
u
High humidity: move the regu-
lator to the right.
5.5.4 Storing food
Note
u
Vegetables sensitive to cold, such as cucumbers, auber-
gines, semi-ripe tomatoes, zucchinis and all tropical fruits
sensitive to cold, do not belong in the BioFresh compart-
ment.
u
To prevent food spoilage due to transfer of germs: Store
unwrapped animal and vegetable products separate from
one another in the drawers. This also applies to different
sorts of meat.
If food has to be stored together due to lack of space:
u
wrap the food.
