3.7 Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out
of use, before putting the products in the
compartment let the appliance run at least
2 hours on the higher settings.
In the event of accidental defrost-
ing, for example due to a power
failure, if the power has been off
for longer than the value shown in
the technical characteristics chart
under "rising time", the defrosted
food must be consumed quickly
or cooked immediately and then
re-frozen (after cooling).
3.8 Naturafresh 0°C
Compartment
In the Naturafresh 0°C compartment the
temperature is controlled automatically. It
stays constantly at about 0°C, no adjust-
ment is necessary.
The constant storage temperature of
about 0°C and the relative humidity of be-
tween 45 and 90 % provide optimal con-
ditions for the various kinds of food.
You can therefore store a variety of fresh
food in the Naturafresh 0°C compartment,
where it will last up to 3 times longer with
better quality compared to normal refrig-
erator compartments. This allows you to
stock more fresh food. Taste, degree of
freshness, quality and nutritional values
(vitamins and minerals) are well preserved.
Loss of weight in vegetables and fruit di-
minishes. Food yields a higher degree of
nutritional value.
The Naturafresh 0°C compartment is also
suitable for defrosting food.
In this case the thawed food can be stor-
ed up to two days.
3.9 Humidity control
Both drawers can be used according to
the desired storage conditions independ-
ently of each other with lower or higher
humidity.
Regulation for each drawer is separate
and is controlled using the slide valve at
the front of the drawer.
• “Dry“: low air humidity - up to 50 % rel-
ative humidity
This humidity level is reached when
both sliders are set into this position
and the ventilation openings are wide
open.
• Humid“: high relative humidity - up to
90%
This humidity level is reached when
both sliders are set in this position
and the ventilation openings are closed.
Humidity is kept and can not escape.
