For every type of food, there are ideal
storage conditions to ensure it stays
fresh as long as possible, retaining
both flavour and vitamins.
The important factors for this are the
storage temperature and the humidity.
The correct combination of temperature
and humidity is a unique feature of the
PerfectFresh zone. Food can be stored
for up to three times longer in the
PerfectFresh zone than in a standard
refrigerator.
Storage temperature
The optimum storage temperature for
fresh food which is not sensitive to the
cold is0-3°C.This is the temperature
range which is automatically
maintained in the PerfectFresh zone.
Food can be stored there at this
temperature without loss of freshness
for considerably longer than in a stan-
dard refrigerator, as the deterioration
process is decelerated at this
temperature.
Humidity level
The closer the storage humidity is to the
humidity content of the food, the crisper
and fresher the food remains over a
longer period, as the water content of
the food is largely retained.
What are the advantages of the
PerfectFresh zone?
As food remains fresh for up to three
times as long, the advantages for you
are:
–
fresher, tastier food,
–
greater convenience due to practical
storage, and
–
greater savings due to quality
preservation.
Storing food in the
PerfectFresh zone
compartments
The compartments in the PerfectFresh
zone have a control which is used to
adjust the relative humidity. Set the
control at the relative humidity level
required (- = high humidity,
, = low humidity).
If high humidity - is selected, a
humidity level of 90 % can be achieved
when the compartment is full. The
humidity depends strongly on the type
and quanltiy of food being stored.
Please take into account that high
humidity is only achieved and is only
effective on the food if the food is
stored unwrapped or loosely
wrapped.
–
The high humidity setting - is ideal
for storing freshly harvested products
such as vegetables, salad, herbs,
mushrooms and home-grown
seasonal fruit.
