Chill mode

The Chill mode sets the compartment at a temperature that is ideal for the storage of highly
perishable fresh meats, poultry and fish products. It is ideal to hold highly perishable food at a
temperature as close to freezing as possible to retain their vital freshness.
This mode sets the compartment at 31°F / -0.5°C, just above the freezing temperature for meat.
This reduces the amount of microbial activity and slows physical changes, ensuring that meat
stays fresher for longer.
The quality of the perishable food that is placed in Chill mode will be critical to successful
storage. Ensure that meat is fresh when purchased and stored.
The Chill mode can also be used for chilling alcoholic beverages.
Important!
This setting is not recommended for any other food or non-alcoholic drink items.
