Storing food in the PerfectFresh Pro zone
The following tips may help if you
find that food you have stored does
not keep well (e.g. food becomes
limp or wilts after only being stored
for a short time):
 Only use the appliance for storing
fresh food. The condition of the food
when it is first placed in the appliance
is an important factor in determining
how long it stays fresh.
 Clean the PerfectFresh Pro compart-
ments before storing food in them.
 Allow very moist food to drain before
placing it in the PerfectFresh Pro zone
 Do not store food which is sensitive
to cold in the PerfectFresh Pro zone
(see "Food which is not suitable for
storing in the refrigerator").
 Select the correct PerfectFresh Pro
compartment as well as the correct
position for the humidity controlled
compartment regulator (humidity not
increased or humidity increased).

 Increased humidity  /  in the hu-
midity controlled compartment is
achieved via the moisture present in
the food being stored, i.e. the more
food stored in the compartment, the
higher the humidity.
If too much moisture has gathered on
the floor of the compartment and the
food has been affected, select the
 setting. Otherwise dry the floor
and underneath the lid with a cloth
and place a rack or similar item in the
compartment so that moisture can
then drip down.
If the humidity level becomes too low
at the  setting, wrap the food in
airtight packaging.
 If you think that the temperature in
the PerfectFresh Pro zone is too high
or too low, try regulating it by altering
the temperature of the refrigerator
section slightly by 1 to 2 °C. The tem-
perature must be increased if ice
crystals start to form on the floor of
the PerfectFresh Pro zone as other-
wise the cold temperature will dam-
age the food.
