When the low humidity setting , is
selected, the atmosphere inside the
PerfectFresh compartment is the same
as in the refrigerator.
–
With low humidity , selected, the
PerfectFresh compartment is ideal
for storing particularly sensitive
foods, such as fresh fish, shellfish,
meat, poultry, sausages, dairy
products and salads.
Please note that foods rich in protein
deteriorate faster than others.
Shellfish, for example, deteriorates
faster than fish, and fish deteriorates
faster than meat.
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.
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 drawer. 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.
Examples of fruit and vegetables
which produce a large amount of this
natural gas are:
Apples, apricots, pears, nectarines,
peaches, plums, avocados, figs,
blueberries, melons and beans.
Examples of fruit and vegetables
which react strongly to the natural
gases given off by other types of fruit
and vegetables are:
Kiwis, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels
sprouts, mangos, honeydew melons,
apples, apricots, cucumbers, tomatoes,
pears, nectarines and peaches.
Example: Broccoli should not be stored
with apples, as apples produce a large
amount of natural gas to which broccoli
is very sensitive. The result is a shorter
than expected storage time for the
broccoli.
