Storing food in the DailyFresh drawer
Storage results for food stored
in the DailyFresh drawer
Observe the following tips 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 place fresh food in the appli-
ance. The initial condition of the food
is crucial to maintaining freshness.
– Clean the drawer before storing food
in it.
– Very wet food should be dried off be-
fore storing it.
– Do not store food which is sensitive
to cold in the drawer (see "Food
which is not suitable for storing in the
refrigerator section").
– Set the slide control to the correct
position for the food being stored (hu-
midity not increased or humidity in-
creased).
– An increased humidity level  in the
humidity controlled compartment is
achieved by 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 collects in the
compartment at the  setting and
the food is affected, dry the floor with
a cloth, and place a rack or similar
item in the compartment so that ex-
cess moisture can drip down.
If the humidity level becomes too low,
wrap the food in airtight packaging.
