Technical data

The PerfectFresh zone
has a dry and a humidity
controlled compartment and
is particularly suitable for long
term storage of fresh food. Because the
temperature is electronically maintained at
just above freezing point, fruit, vegetables,
fish, meat and poultry can be stored for
twice as long as in the refrigerator and
still maintain their freshness. Tests have
shown that vitamin C levels in food stored
in the PerfectFresh zone hardly change
over a period of time, so its health benefits
are great too.
The dry compartment is excellent for
storing meat, fish, poultry and dairy
products. And with relative humidity levels
adjustable between 45% and 90% in the
humidity controlled compartment, you can
adjust the climate inside the compartment
to suit the type of food you are storing. It
is particularly suit able for storing fruit and
vegetables as well as salad items which
have a high water content and need to
be kept moist. All models come with the
drawers fitted on telescopic runners.
* Storage times are guidelines only and depend on the quality and freshness of the food.
N.B. Some fruit and vegetables give off gases which cause them to deteriorate rapidly. These include bananas, avocado pears, pineapple, mangos, olives, papaya, passionfruit and citrus fruit as
well as aubergines, cucumbers, green beans, potatoes, melons, peppers, tomatoes and courgettes.
No more defrosting!
Frost-free is a perfect system
for optimum convenience
and removes the tedious task
of emptying and repacking the freezer. It
results in zero build-up of frost on both
food and the evaporator, saving time and
electricity.
How it works…
In appliances which feature the frost-
free system, cool air is circulated by a
fan, enabling the food to freeze more
quickly and thoroughly. Moisture in
the air condenses and freezes on the
evaporator, where it melts automatically
and drains through a channel into a
condensate tray. The heat from the
compressor then causes the water to
evaporate.
Enclosed evaporator
Selected frost-free models also feature
an enclosed evaporator. The evaporator,
instead of being located at the back of
the appliance fits into the front casing.
The cabinet interior is surrounded on all
sides by concealed aluminium evaporator
tubing, which leaves the surface smooth
on all sides and exceptionally easy to
clean. The positioning of the evaporator
offers more flexible storage options, as
the glass shelves can be removed easily
allowing the drawers to accommodate
much larger items.
