BioFresh compartment
* Depending on model and options
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 2°C, and the resultant humidity provi-
de the ideal storage conditions for different types of food.
The top drawer
is suitable for storing dry and wrapped food (e.g. dairy pro-
ducts, 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, vege-
tables 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
required.
Humidity selection, fig. A2:
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 mois-
ture content such as fresh lettuce.
Notes:
W The humidity in the compartment depends on the moisture
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 If you require space for large
bottles and containers,
- lift the front half of the split glass
shelf* and carefully slide it under the
back half until the stops click into the
recesses, see figure.
