Storing Food In The Perfectfresh Pro Zone - Miele KFN 29683 D Operating And Installation Instructions

Storing food in the PerfectFresh Pro zone

The PerfectFresh Pro zone provides
ideal storage conditions for fruit, veget-
ables, fish, meat and dairy products.
Food stays fresh considerably longer
while retaining both flavour and vitam-
ins.
The temperature in the PerfectFresh Pro
zone is maintained automatically at
between 0 and 3 °C. While lower than
the temperature in a standard refriger-
ator, this is the optimum temperature
range for storing fresh food which is not
sensitive to cold. The deterioration pro-
cess is decelerated at this temperature
range so food can be stored without
loss of freshness for considerably
longer than in a standard refrigerator.
The humidity level in the PerfectFresh
Pro zone can also be regulated to suit
the food being stored. Food retains its
own moisture if stored at a higher hu-
midity and so does not dry out as
quickly. This allows it to stay crisp and
fresh for longer.
Remember that the fresher the food
when placed in the appliance, the
longer it will stay fresh.
Take food out of the PerfectFresh Pro
zone approx. 30 to 60 minutes before
using it. The aroma and taste do not
fully develop until the food has
reached room temperature.

The PerfectFresh Pro zone is divided
into two areas:
The Info system (shown here in sec-
tions) above the PerfectFresh Pro zone
helps you to choose the correct com-
partment and the appropriate setting in
the humidity controlled compartment.
– The temperature is between
0 and 3 °C in the top dry compart-
ment and the humidity level is not in-
creased . Use this compartment to
store fish, meat, dairy products and
any other type of food, providing it is
wrapped.
– The temperature is between 0 - 3 °C
in the bottom humidity controlled
compartment (depending on model,
there may be one or more of this type
of compartment). Depending on the
position of the regulator, the humidity
level is not increased  or increased
 / . Fruit and vegetables can be
stored in this compartment with the
humidity increased.
Each type of food has its own charac-
teristics which determine the specific
storage conditions it requires.
