Always keep these foods covered or
wrapped.
Exception: Meat. The surface of the
meat dries out slightly, helping to
prevent the growth of bacteria, which
results in the meat lasting longer. To
prevent the risk of bacterial
cross-contamination and meat
deteriorating, do not let one type of
meat come into direct contact with
another type.
Humidity-controlled compartment
The humidity-controlled compartment
has a regulator which is used to adjust
the relative humidity.
Slide the regulator to the relative
humidity level required.
. = high humidity. The regulator
closes the vents to the compartment
and retains the humidity already
present. The humidity level greatly
depends on the type and quantity of
food being stored.
Please take into account that high
humidity is only achieved and effective
if the food is stored unwrapped or
loosely wrapped.
–
The high humidity setting . is ideal
for storing freshly harvested produce
such as vegetables, salad, herbs,
cabbage and home-grown seasonal
fruit.
, = low humidity.
The regulator opens the vents to the
compartment and the humidity can
escape.
If the regulator is set at low humidity ,
the humidity will be approx. the same
as the humidity in the refrigerator
section. At this setting, the low
temperature is the main advantage of
the compartment rather than the
humidity.
–
At the low humidity setting ,, the
atmosphere inside the
humidity-controlled compartment is
the same as in the dry compartment.
Take food out of the PerfectFresh
zone approx. 30 - 60 minutes before
using it. The aroma and taste do not
fully develop until the food has
reached room temperature.
Can all types of food be stored
together?
Do not place all types of food together
in one compartment. Some types of
food do not store well together. Aromas
and flavours can transfer from one type
of food to another (e.g. carrots absorb
the smell and flavour of onions very
easily). Some food also gives off a
natural gas (ethylene) which speeds up
the rate at which other food perishes.
