BIOFRESH COMPARTMENT

C 16/CI 16/CS 16
The BioFresh Compartment
The BioFresh compartment enables you to keep a
range of fresh food fresh for up to three times as
long as you would in a standard refrigerator, thus
making your food last longer.Taste, freshness and
nutritional value (vitamin B and C group content)
remain largely intact. Spoilage and weight loss in
vegetables and fruit are reduced, leaving food more
fresh and natural.
The automatically controlled storage temperature,
which is kept between 32°F and 36°F (0°C and
2°C), and the resulting humidity provide the ideal
storage conditions for different types of food.
The top drawer:
• is suitable for storing dry and wrapped food (e.g.
dairy products, meat, fish, cold meats). The
storage climate in this drawer is relatively dry.
The drawer with humidity control:
• can be set to “humid” for storage of unwrapped
salad, vegetables and fruit. When the drawer is
full, the climate will be “dew-fresh,” with
approximately 90% humidity.
You can set the humidity in this drawer to dry or
moist as desired.
Humidity Selection
- Figure 2
Figure 2
“dry” setting: small humidity symbol – slide
control to left. This setting is suitable for food to be
stored in a dry climate.
“humid” setting: high relative humidity of a
maximum of 90%, large humidity symbol – slide
control to right. This setting is suitable for storing
unwrapped food with a high moisture content such
as fresh lettuce.
Tips:
• The humidity in the compartment depends on
the moisture content of the food in it, and the
frequency with which the compartment is
opened.
• When buying food, make sure it is fresh; the
fresher the product and the higher the quality,
the longer it will keep.
• Unwrapped meat and vegetables should be
stored separately in the drawers. If there is not
enough space for them to be stored separately,
make sure they are wrapped.
• Do not allow different types of meat to come into
contact with one another but keep them
packaged separately to avoid premature
bacterial spoilage.
• Note that protein-rich food spoils more quickly,
i.e. crustaceans and shellfish spoil faster than
fish, and fish faster than meat.
• Remove food from the drawers some time before
consumption. Enjoyment will be enhanced in this
way as the aroma and flavor develop best at
room temperature.
