Do not store any explosive materials or products containing flammable propellants (e.g., spray cans) in the appliance.
Storing food in the refrigerator section Warmest area The warmest area in the refrigerator section is in the top section of the door. Use this for storing butter so that it remains spreadable and cheese so that it retains its flavor. Coldest area The coldest area in the refrigerator section is inside the appliance at the back. The temperature in the dry compartment of the MasterFresh zone is even colder.
Storing food in the refrigerator section Notes on buying food The freshness of food when first placed in the appliance is an important factor in determining how long it stays fresh, and how long it can be kept in the appliance. Take into account the use-by date and the correct storage temperature. Time out of the refrigerator, e.g., transporting food in a warm car, should be kept to a minimum. Tip: Take a cool bag when shopping, and load food in the appliance as soon as possible.
Storing food in the MasterFresh zone MasterFresh zone The MasterFresh zone provides ideal storage conditions for fruit, vegetables, fish, meat, and dairy products. Food stays fresh considerably longer while retaining both flavor, and vitamins. The MasterFresh zone comprises a humidity-controlled and a dry compartment. – Depending on the moisture-regulator setting, the humidity-controlled compartment is particularly suitable for storing fruit and vegetables.
Storing food in the MasterFresh zone Increased moisture in the humiditycontrolled compartment can, in some circumstances, cause a buildup of condensate. This should be removed with a cloth. Slide control at = moisture increased slightly We recommend this setting if you store very large quantities of fruits and vegetables in the humidity-controlled compartment. The slide control partially closes the vents in the compartment so that some of the moisture present is retained.
Storing food in the MasterFresh zone Dry compartment with adjustable temperature The temperature in the dry compartment is maintained at 30 to 37°F (-1 to 3°C). While lower than the temperature in a standard refrigerator, this is the optimum temperature range for storing fresh food which is not sensitive to cold. The deterioration process is decelerated at this temperature range so food can be stored without loss of freshness for considerably longer than in a standard refrigerator.
Storing food in the MasterFresh zone The following tips may help if you find that food you have stored does not keep well (for example, the food wilts or becomes withered after only a short storage time): Only place fresh food in the appliance as the initial condition of the food is crucial to maintaining freshness. Clean the MasterFresh zone before storing food in it. Very wet food should be dried off before storing it in the humidity-controlled compartment.
