Storing Food In The Perfectfresh Pro Zone - Miele KFNS 37692 iDE Operating And Installation Instructions

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 controlled automatically and
maintained at 0 to 3 °C. While lower
than the temperature in a conventional
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.
In addition, the humidity level in the
PerfectFresh Pro zone can be regulated
to suit the food being stored. Food
retains its own moisture if stored at a
higher humidity and does not dry out as
quickly. This allows it to stay crisp and
fresh for longer.
Remember that the freshness of the
food when first placed in the
appliance is the most important factor
in determining how long 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.

Storing food in the PerfectFresh Pro zone

The PerfectFresh Pro zone is divided
into two compartments:
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 in the upper dry
compartment is between 0 and 3 °C
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 lower humidity controlled
compartment has a temperature of
0 °C to 3 °C, and the humidity level is
increased depending on the position
of the slide control:  not increased,
or / increased. With increased
humidity use this compartement to
store fruit and vegetables.
Each type of food has its own
characteristics and requires certain
storage conditions.
