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. yoghurt, cheese,
cream, quark etc;
– You can also use the dry
compartment to store all types of
food, providing it is wrapped.
The main advantage of the dry
compartment is the low temperature
(rather than the humidity). The humidity
in the dry compartment is
approximately the same as in a stan-
dard refrigerator.
Please note that food rich in protein
deteriorates 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
compartments ,, .
The humidity controlled compartments
have a regulator which is used to adjust
the relative humidity.
Slide the regulator to the , or . setting.
Humidity level not increased ,
At the , setting, the humidity controlled
compartment becomes a dry
compartment - the regulator opens the
vents in the compartment allowing
moisture to escape (see "Dry
compartment ,").

Increased humidity .

With the regulator at the . setting, the
humidity controlled compartment is
suitable for storing fruit and vegetables.
The regulator closes the vents in the
compartment so that moisture is
retained.
The humidity level greatly depends on
the type and quantity of food being
stored, if stored unwrapped.
The humidity level can be too low if
there is only a small amount of food
stored in the compartment.
Tip: If you are only storing a small
amount of food, wrap it in airtight
packaging.
In some circumstances, condensate
can occur in the humidity controlled
compartment at the increased
humidity setting. Use a cloth to
remove the condensate.
