Storing food in the MasterFresh zone
80
Dry compartment with adjustable
temperature
The temperature in the dry compart-
ment is maintained at 30 to 37°F (-1 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 deceler-
ated at this temperature range so food
can be stored without loss of fresh-
ness for considerably longer than in a
standard refrigerator and you do not
need to shop as often.
However, if you would like it to be
warmer or colder, e.g., when storing
fish, you can adjust the temperature
slightly (see “Selecting additional set-
tings – Adjusting the temperature in the
MasterFresh zone (dry compart-
ment)”).
The humidity level is similar to that in
the conventional refrigerator section.
Tip: This compartment is ideal for all
home-cooked meals as any micro-
organisms that may still be present can-
not multiply.
The dry compartment is ideal for storing
perishable foods such as:
- dairy products such as yogurt,
cheese, cream, etc.
- deli salads
- meat, poultry, and sausage
- fresh fish and shellfish
- Any type of food can in fact be stored
in this compartment, as long as it is
packaged.
Please note that foods rich in protein
deteriorate faster than others.
Shellfish, for example, deteriorates
faster than fish, and fish deteriorates
faster than meat.
For hygiene reasons, always keep these
foods covered or wrapped in this
compartment.
Take food out of the dry compartment
approximately 30to60minutes before
using it. The aroma and taste do not
fully develop until the food has
reached room temperature.
At high room temperatures, delicate
food should preferably be kept in the
refrigerator section for a period of
time.
