Storing food in the PerfectFresh Active zone

PerfectFresh Active zone
The PerfectFresh Active zone satisfies
the requirements of a chill compart-
ment to DINEN62552:2020.
The PerfectFresh Active zone provides
ideal storage conditions for fruit, veg-
etables, fish, meat, and dairy products.
Food stays fresh considerably longer
while retaining both flavor and vitamins.
The temperature in the PerfectFresh Ac-
tive zone is controlled automatically and
maintained at 32to37°F (0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 humidity level in the PerfectFresh
Active zone can also be regulated to
suit the food being stored. If the humidi-
fier is switched on, water vapor is
supplied to the stored fruit and vegeta-
bles. The humidifier switches on ap-
proximately every 90minutes and each
time the appliance door is opened.
Food retains its own moisture if stored
at a higher humidity and so does not
dry out as quickly.
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 Ac-
tive zone approx.30to60minutes be-
fore using it. The aroma and taste do
not fully develop until the food has
reached room temperature.
Humidity-controlled compart-
ment

The upper humidity-controlled com-
partment has a temperature of 32 to
37°F (0to3°C), and the humidity level
is increased depending on the position
of the compartment lid: not in-
creased or increased.
Low humidity
When the setting is used, the humid-
ity-controlled compartment becomes a
dry compartment (see “Dry compart-
ment”).
Increased humidity
When this setting is used, the compart-
ment is suitable for storing fruit and
vegetables.
Increased moisture in the humidity-
controlled compartment can cause a
build-up of condensate.
If you find that too much condensate
has formed and this is affecting the
food, proceed as follows:
Wipe off any condensate with a
cloth.
Open the compartment lid by moving
it to the low humidity position.
Switch the humidifier off.
