Storing food in the PerfectFresh Pro zone

Dry compartment 
The dry compartment is ideal for storing
foods which perish easily, such as
– fish and seafood;
– meat, poultry and sausages;
– salads and lettuce;
– dairy products, e.g. yogurt, cheese,
cream, quark etc;
– you can also use the dry compart-
ment to store all kinds of food,
providing it is wrapped.
The main advantage of the dry com-
partment is the low temperature (rather
than the humidity). The humidity in the
dry compartment is approximately the
same as in a standard refrigerator.
Please note that food rich in protein de-
teriorates faster than other types of
food.
Shellfish, for example, deteriorates
faster than fish, and fish deteriorates
faster than meat.
Always keep these foods covered or
wrapped.
Humidity controlled compart-
ment , /
Humidity level not increased
At the  setting the humidity controlled
compartment becomes a dry compart-
ment - the regulator opens the vents in
the compartment so the humidity es-
capes (see "Dry compartment").
Increased humidity/
With the regulator at the  or set-
ting, the humidity controlled compart-
ment is suitable for storing fruit and ve-
getables:
– Select the setting if storing a large
quantity of fruit and vegetables (the
regulator partially closes the vents in
the compartment so that some of the
moisture already present is retained).
– Select the setting, if using the hu-
midity controlled compartment to
store only a small quantity of fruit and
vegetables (the regulator closes the
vents in the compartment completely
so that all of the moisture already
present is retained).
Tip: If the humidity level is too high and
a lot of moisture has collected in the
compartment, select the setting. If
the humidity level is too low, wrap the
food in airtight packaging.
The humidity level greatly depends on
the type and quantity of food being
stored, if stored unwrapped.
