Due to the optimum storage conditions
in the PerfectFresh Pro zone for fruit,
vegetables, fish, meat and dairy
products, food remains fresh for longer,
and flavour and vitamins are retained.
The optimum storage temperature for
fresh food which is not sensitive to the
cold is 0-3 °C. This is the temperature
range which is automatically
maintained in the PerfectFresh Pro
zone. Food which is not sensitive to
cold can be stored in the PerfectFresh
Pro zone at this temperature without
loss of freshness for considerably
longer than in a standard refrigerator,
as the deterioration process is
decelerated at this temperature.
The humidity level in the PerfectFresh
Pro zone can also be regulated to
provide the correct conditions for food
stored inside it. An increase in the
humidity level ensures that food retains
its own moisture and does not dry out
so quickly. Therefore, such food will
remain firm and fresh for longer.
Remember that the initial freshness of
the food when placed in the
refrigerator is crucial for good
storage results.
Take food out of the PerfectFresh Pro
zone approx. 30 - 60 minutes before
using it. The aroma and flavour do
not fully develop until the food has
reached room temperature.
The PerfectFresh Pro zone is divided
into two compartments:
–
The upper dry compartment has a
temperature of between0-3°C.The
humidity level in this compartment is
not increased ,. In this compartment
you should store fish, meat, dairy
products and any other type of food
as long as it is packaged.
– The lower humidity controlled
compartment (in different numbers
depending on model) has a
temperature of between0-3°C.The
humidity level can be kept low , or
high ,, / ,,,, depending on the
position of the slide control.
If the humidity is increased in this
compartment, fruit and vegetables
should be stored inside it.
Each type of food has its own
characteristics and requires certain
storage conditions.
The info system above the
PerfectFresh Pro zone helps you
choose the correct compartment and/or
select the appropriate setting in the
humidity controlled compartment.
