Fresh zone
◆
The fresh zone means that you can control its temperature independently.
◆
Fresh zone temperature ranges from -3℃ (27 ℉ ) to 3℃ (37 ℉ ).
◆
The fresh zone is designed to make it easier to handle ingredients in a short period of time, when you handle
frozen foods.
◆
Zero-degrees preservation technology guarantees a relatively stable, independent, very close to -3 ℃ (27 ℉ ),
but not less than -3 ℃ (27 ℉ ) fresh-keeping compartment, maintaining a steady temperature level - so that
the food will be kept fresh for a longer period of time and will not be frozen
◆
Suggestions for use: It is recommended to store fresh fish, fresh meat and dried fruit in condition of -2℃
(28℉) to 0℃ (32℉). Put the frozen ingredients into the fresh zone 4/5 hours before use, you can
cut or cook frozen foods effortlessly and enjoy a faster and healthier cooking experience.
◆
It is recommended to store vegetables and fruits at 0℃ (32℉) to 3℃ (37℉).
◆
Note: If you want to store easy-drying ingredients such as meat into the zero-temperature zone for more
than 4 hours, you should use plastic wraps to avoid excessive moisture loss and affect the taste.
Crisper drawer humidity adjustment
◆
The crisper drawer within this appliance features a humidity level adjustment slider. Vegetables and similar
produce that are subject to wilting (e.g. arugula, spinach leaves, herbs such as basil etc.) should be kept in the
crisper drawer and the adjustment slider kept closed (fully to the left - high). By keeping the adjustment
slider closed, water vapor is held in the drawer and subsequently greens are kept crisper and fresher for
longer
◆
By contrast, fruits that are susceptible to rotting should be stored in the crisper drawer with the humidity
adjustment slider fully open (to the right - low). This will allow gases, emitted by certain produce and that
accelerate the rotting process, to exit the crisper drawer
◆
The drawer is marked high and low with vegetable and fruit symbols to aid you
