PerfectFresh Active zone

The PerfectFresh Active zone satisfies
the requirements of a chill
compartment to
DIN EN 62552:2020.
The PerfectFresh Active 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
Active zone is controlled automatically
and maintained at 0 to 3 °C. While
lower than the temperature in a
standard refrigerator section, this is the
optimum temperature range for storing
fresh food which is not sensitive to cold.
The humidity level in the PerfectFresh
Active zone can also be regulated to suit
the food being stored. If the
humidifier  is switched on, water
vapour is supplied to the stored fruit and
vegetables. The humidifier  switches
on approximately every 90 minutes and
each time the appliance door is opened.
Food retains its own moisture if stored
at a higher humidity and so does not dry
out as quickly.
Remember that the fresher the food
when placed in the appliance, the
longer it will stay fresh.
Take food out of the PerfectFresh
Active zone approx. 30 to 60 minutes
before using it. The aroma and taste do
not fully develop until the food has
reached room temperature.

Humidity-controlled
compartment
 |   
The upper humidity-controlled
compartment has a temperature of
0 to 3 °C, and the humidity level is
increased depending on the position of
the compartment cover:  not
increased or  increased.
Humidity level not increased 
When the  setting is used, the

humidity-controlled compartment

becomes a dry compartment (see "Dry
compartment").
Increased humidity 
At this setting, the humidity-controlled
compartment is suitable for storing fruit
and vegetables.
Increased humidity in the humidity-
controlled compartment can cause a
build-up of condensate.
If you find that too much condensate
has formed and this is affecting the
food, proceed as follows:
Wipe off any condensate with a
cloth.
Open the compartment cover by
moving it to the low humidity 
position.
Switch the humidifier  off.
