Storing food in the PerfectFresh zone
73
The PerfectFresh zone provides ideal
storage conditions for fruit, vegetables,
fish, meat, and dairy products. Food
stays fresh considerably longer while
retaining both flavor and vitamins.
The temperature in the PerfectFresh
zone is controlled automatically, and is
maintained at 32°F to 37°F (0°C to 3°C).
While lower than the temperature in a
standard refrigerator section, this is the
optimum temperature range for storing
fresh food which is not sensitive to
cold. The deterioration process is de-
celerated at this temperature range so
food can be stored without loss of
freshness for considerably longer than
in a standard refrigerator.
The humidity level in the PerfectFresh
zone can also be regulated to suit the
food being stored. Food retains its own
moisture if stored at a higher humidity
and so does not dry out as quickly. This
allows it to stay crisp and fresh for
longer.
Remember that the fresher the food
when it is placed in the appliance, the
longer it will stay fresh!
Take food out of the PerfectFresh zone
approximately 30to60minutes before
using it. The aroma and taste do not
fully develop until the food has
reached room temperature.
Regulating the humidity level in
the compartments
Move the slide control to the desired
setting, depending on whether you
wish to use the compartment as a
dry or a humidity-controlled
compartment
The Info system in the glass plate
above the PerfectFresh zone helps you
select the appropriate setting in the
compartments.
Each type of food has its own charac-
teristics which determine the specific
storage conditions it requires.
High humidity can cause conden-
sate to build up on the floor of the
compartment.
This should be removed with a cloth.
