MasterFresh zone

The MasterFresh 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 MasterFresh zone comprises a
humidity-controlled and a dry
compartment.
– Depending on the moisture regulator
setting, the humidity-controlled
compartment is particularly suitable
for storing fruit and vegetables.
– The dry compartment is suitable for
storing perishable foods such as
fish, meat, and dairy products.
Any type of food can in fact be stored
in this compartment, as long as it is
packaged.

Humidity-controlled compartment
with moisture regulator
The humidity level in the humidity-
controlled compartment can be
regulated to approximately 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.
The moisture released by food in
storage is kept within the humidity-
controlled compartment. The more the
humidity in the humidity-controlled
compartment corresponds to the food's
own humidity content, the crisper and
fresher the food will remain over a
longer period of time, as the water
content of the food is largely retained.
The moisture level greatly depends on
the type and quantity of the food
being stored, if stored unwrapped.
The temperature in the humidity-
controlled compartment is
approximately equivalent to the
temperature in a conventional
refrigerator.
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.
