Dry Compartment; Humidity-Controlled Compartment - Miele KFN 37692 iDE Operating And Installation Instructions

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. yogurt, cheese,
cream, quark etc;
– you can also use the dry
compartment to store all kinds 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
standard 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.
Storing food in the PerfectFresh Pro zone
Humidity-controlled
compartment ,  / 
Humidity level not increased 
At the  setting the humidity controlled
compartment becomes a dry
compartment - the regulator opens the
vents in the compartment to let the
moisture escape (see "Dry
compartment ").
Increased humidity /
With the regulator at the  or
 setting, the humidity controlled
compartment is suitable for storing fruit
and vegetables:
– Select the  setting if storing a large
quantity of fruit and vegetables (the
regulator partially closes the vents in
the compartment so that some of the
moisture already present is retained).
– Select the  setting if using the
humidity controlled compartment to
store only a small quantity of fruit and
vegetables (the regulator closes the
vents in the compartment completely
so that all of the moisture already
present is retained).
Tip: If the humidity level is too high and
a lot of moisture has collected in the
compartment, select the  setting. If
the humidity level is too low, place the
food in airtight packaging.
The humidity level greatly depends on
the type and quantity of food being
stored, if stored unwrapped.
