Storing food in the PerfectFresh Active zone

PerfectFresh Active zone
The PerfectFresh Active zone satisfies
the requirements of a chill compart-
ment to DINEN62552:2020.
The PerfectFresh Active zone provides
ideal storage conditions for fruit, veget-
ables, fish, meat and dairy products.
Food stays fresh considerably longer
while retaining both flavour and vitam-
ins.
The temperature in the PerfectFresh
Active zone is controlled automatically
and maintained at 0to3°C. While
lower than the temperature in a stand-
ard refrigerator section, this is the op-
timum temperature range for storing
fresh food which is not sensitive to
cold.
The humidity level in the PerfectFresh
Active zone can also be regulated to
suit the food being stored. If the humidi-
fier is switched on, water vapour is
supplied to the stored fruit and veget-
ables. The humidifier switches on ap-
proximately every 90minutes and each
time the appliance door is opened.
Food retains its own moisture if stored
at a higher humidity and so does not
dry out as quickly.
Remember that the fresher the food
when placed in the appliance, the
longer it will stay fresh.
Take food out of the PerfectFresh Act-
ive zone approx.30to60minutes be-
fore using it. The aroma and taste do
not fully develop until the food has
reached room temperature.
Humidity-controlled compart-

The upper humidity-controlled com-
partment has a temperature of
0to3°C, and the humidity level is in-
creased depending on the position of
the compartment cover: not in-
creased or increased.
Humidity level not increased
When the setting is used, the humid-
ity-controlled compartment becomes a
dry compartment (see “Dry compart-
ment”).
Increased humidity
When this setting is used, the compart-
ment is suitable for storing fruit and ve-
getables.
High humidity in the humidity-con-
trolled compartment can cause con-
densate to build up on the floor of
the compartment as well as beneath
the cover.
Wipe off any condensate with a
cloth.
