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

Storing food in the PerfectFresh Pro zone

The PerfectFresh Pro zone provides
ideal storage conditions for fruit,
vegetables, fish, meat and dairy
products. Food stays fresh considerably
longer while retaining both flavour and
vitamins.
The temperature in the PerfectFresh Pro
zone is maintained automatically at
between 0 and 3 °C. While lower than
the temperature in a standard
refrigerator, this is the optimum
temperature range for storing fresh food
which is not sensitive to cold. The
deterioration process 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
humidity 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
sections) above the PerfectFresh Pro
zone helps you to choose the correct
compartment and the appropriate
setting in the humidity controlled
compartment.
– The temperature is between
0 and 3 °C in the top dry
compartment and the humidity level
is not increased . 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
characteristics which determine the
specific storage conditions it requires.
