Storing Food In The Perfectfresh Pro Zone - Miele KFNS 37692 iDE Operating And Installation Instructions

Storing food in the PerfectFresh Pro zone

Due to the optimum storage conditions
in the PerfectFresh Pro zone for fruit,
vegetables, fish, meat and dairy
products, food remains fresh for longer,
and flavor and vitamins are retained.
The optimum storage temperature for
fresh food which is not sensitive to the
cold is 32-37°F (0-3 °C). This is the
temperature range which is
automatically maintained in the
PerfectFresh Pro zone. Food which is
not sensitive to cold can be stored in
the PerfectFresh Pro zone at this
temperature without loss of freshness
for considerably longer than in a stan-
dard refrigerator, as the deterioration
process is decelerated at this
temperature.
The humidity level in the PerfectFresh
Pro zone can also be regulated to
provide the correct conditions for food
stored inside it. An increase in the
humidity level ensures that food retains
its own moisture and does not dry out
so quickly. Therefore, such food will
remain firm and fresh for longer.
Remember that food has to be in
good condition from the start to get
good storage results!

Take food out of the PerfectFresh Pro
zone approx. 30 - 60 minutes before
using it. The aroma and flavor do not
fully develop until the food has
reached room temperature.
The PerfectFresh Pro zone is divided
into two compartments:
– The upper dry compartment has a
temperature of between 32-37°F
(0-3 °C). The humidity level in this
compartment is not increased ,. In this
compartment you should store fish,
meat, dairy products and any other
type of food as long as it is packaged.
– The lower humidity controlled
compartment (in different numbers
depending on model) has a
temperature of between 32-37°F
(0-3 °C). The humidity level can be
kept low , or high . / -,
depending on the position of the
slide control.
If the humidity is increased in this
compartment, fruit and vegetables
should be stored inside it.
Each type of food has its own
characteristics and requires certain
storage conditions.
The info system above the
PerfectFresh Pro zone helps you
choose the correct compartment and/or
select the appropriate setting in the
humidity controlled compartment.
