Storing food in the PerfectFresh zone
Storage results for food stored

Observe the following tips if you find
that food you have stored does not
keep well (e.g. food becomes limp or
wilts after only being stored for a
short time):
– Only place fresh food in the appliance
as the initial condition of the food is
crucial to maintaining freshness.
– Clean the PerfectFresh compartments
before storing food in them.
– Dry the surface of very moist food
before placing it in the refrigerator.
– Do not store any food in the
PerfectFresh zone which is sensitive
to cold (see "Food which is not
suitable for storage in the
PerfectFresh zone").
– Select the correct PerfectFresh
compartment and the correct position
of the humidity controlled
compartment slide control (humidity
not increased or humidity increased).

– An increased humidity level  in the
humidity controlled compartment is
achieved by the moisture present in
the food being stored, i.e. the more
food stored in the compartment, the
higher the humidity.
If too much moisture collects in the
compartment at the  setting and
the food is affected, dry the floor and
underneath the lid with a cloth, and
place a rack or similar item in the
compartment so that excess moisture
can drip down.
If the humidity level is too low despite
the  setting, wrap the food in
airtight packaging.
– If you think that the temperature in
the PerfectFresh zone is too high or
too low, try regulating it slightly first
by selecting a different level. See
"Adjusting the temperature in the
PerfectFresh zone". If ice crystals
start to form on the floor of the
PerfectFresh compartments, increase
the temperature as otherwise the cold
temperature will damage the food.
Under certain circumstances, a setting
from level   to   can cause
negative temperatures to be reached.
Food could freeze.
