TCool-fresh compartment
T he temperature in the cool-fresh compartment is
C o o l - f r e s h c o m p a r t m e n t
kept at around 32°F (0°C).
The low temperature and the optimum moisture
provide ideal storage conditions for fresh food.
With cool-fresh storage, you can keep fresh
foodstuffs fresh for up to three times longer than in
the refrigerator compartment – for even longer
freshness and nutrient retention, and improved
flavor.

Vegetable container

The vegetable container is the optimum storage
location for fresh fruit and vegetables. You can
adjust the humidity in the vegetable container via the
division plate's humidity controller and a special
seal.
The humidity in the vegetable container can be set
according to the type and quantity of products to be
stored:
Mainly fruit as well as for a large load – set lower
■
air humidity
Mainly vegetables as well as for a mixed or small
■
load – set higher air humidity
Notes
Fruit sensitive to cold (e.g. pineapple, banana,
■
papaya and citrus fruit) and vegetables sensitive
to cold (e.g. eggplant, cucumbers, zucchini,
peppers, tomatoes and potatoes) should be
stored outside of the appliance at temperatures
of approx. +46°F ... +54°F (+8°C ... +12°C) for
optimum preservation of quality and aroma.
Condensation may form in the vegetable
■
container depending on the type and quantity of
products stored.
Remove condensation with a dry cloth and adjust air
humidity in the vegetable container with the humidity
controller.
