Miele KFN 14947 SDE ed/cs Refrigerator User Manual


 
Food is stored at a lower temperature in
the PerfectFresh zone than in the
refrigerator section. The humidity in the
PerfectFresh zone compartments can
also be regulated to suit the food being
stored, providing ideal storage
conditions and ensuring that food stays
fresh considerably longer while
retaining both flavour and vitamins.
Storage temperature
The optimum storage temperature for
fresh food which is not sensitive to 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.
Remember that the fresher the food
when placed in the appliance, the
longer it will stay fresh.
Humidity level
The humidity level in the PerfectFresh
compartment will depend on
the moisture content of the food
being stored and
the quantity of food being stored.
Use the regulator to adjust the humidity
level in the PerfectFresh compartment.
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.
