Operating instructions

The BioFresh compartment enables you to keep a range of
fresh food fresh for up to three times as long as you would in
a standard refrigerator, thus making your stocks last longer.
Flavour, freshness, and nutritional value (vitamin B and C-
group content) remain largely intact. Spoilage and weight loss
in vegetables and fruit are reduced, leaving food more fresh
and natural.
The automatically controlled storage temperature, which
is kept constantly between 0 and 3°C, and the resultant hu-
midity provide the ideal storage conditions for dierent types
of food.
The top drawer
is suitable for storing dry or wrapped food (e.g. dairy prod-
ucts, meat, sh, sausages). The storage climate in this drawer
is relatively dry.
The large, adjustable drawer
can be set to "humid" for storing unwrapped salads, vegeta-
bles and fruit. When the drawer is full, the climate will be "dew-
fresh", with approximately 90 % humidity.
You can set the humidity in this drawer to dry or humid as
required.
Humidity selection, g. A2:
W "dry" setting: small humidity symbol
- slide control to left. Insert food that is suit-
able for being stored in a dry climate.
W "humid" setting: high relative humidity of
max. 90 %, large humidity symbol - slide
control to right. This setting is suitable for storing un-
wrapped food with a high moisture content, such as fresh
lettuce.
Notes:
W The humidity in the compartment depends on the moisture
content of the food in it and the frequency with which the
compartment is opened.
W When buying food, check that it is fresh - the fresher the
product and the higher its quality, the longer it will keep.
W Unwrapped animal and vegetable foods should be stored
separately in the drawers. If there is not enough space
for them to be stored separately, make sure that they are
wrapped! Do not allow dierent types of meat to come into
contact with one another but keep them packaged sepa-
rately so as to avoid premature bacterial spoilage.
W Please note that protein-rich food spoils more quickly, i.e.
crustaceans and shellsh spoil faster than sh, and sh
faster than meat.
W Remove food from the drawers some time before consump-
tion. Enjoyment will be enhanced in this way as the aroma
and avour develop best at room temperature.
W The following products should not be stored in the Bi-
oFresh compartment: cold-sensitive vegetables such as
cucumber, peppers, aubergines, avocados, semi-ripe
tomatoes, beans, courgettes and all cold-sensitive tropical
fruits.
