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 stocks 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 0°C and 3°C, and the resultant humidity pro-
vide the ideal storage conditions for different types of food.
The top drawer 8,
fig. B, is suitable for storing dry or wrapped food (e.g. dairy
products, meat, fish, cold meats). The storage climate in this
drawer is relatively dry.
Drawers with humidity control 9,
Fig. B: When set to "humid" these drawers can be used for
storing unwrapped salad, vegetables and fruit. When the
drawer is full, the climate will be "dew-fresh", with approxi-
mately 90% humidity.
You can set the humidity in this drawer to dry or moist as
required.
Humidity selection:
W "dry" setting: small humidity symbol
- slide control to left. Insert food that is
suitable for being stored in a dry climate.
W "humid" setting: high relative humidity of
max. 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.
Notes:
W The humidity in the compartment depends on the mois-
ture content of the food in it, and the frequency with which
the compartment is opened.
W When buying food, check that it is fresh - the fresher the
product and the higher its quality, the longer it will keep.
W Unwrapped animal and vegetable foods should be stored
separately in the drawers. If there is not enough space
for them to be stored separately, make sure that they are
wrapped. Do not allow different types of meat to come
into contact with one another but keep them packaged
separately so as to avoid premature bacterial spoilage.
W Please note that protein-rich food spoils more quickly, i.e.
crustaceans and shellfish spoil faster than fish, and fish
faster than meat.
W Remove food from the drawers some time before con-
sumption. Enjoyment will be enhanced in this way as the
aroma and flavour develop best at room temperature.
W The following products should not be stored in the
BioFresh compartment: cold-sensitive vegetables such
as cucumber, peppers, aubergines, avocados, semi-ripe
tomatoes, beans, zucchini, and all cold-sensitive tropical
fruits.
