The FreshZone drawer provides storage of wide selection of
fresh food longer than in the traditional refrigerator. Food
remains fresh for long time and it preserves its taste and nutritive
ingredients. It reduces decay and loss of mass, so fruit and
vegetables are more fresh and natural. The drawer must be
tightly closed to provide optimum operation.
• Moisture level in the drawer depends upon the moisture of
stored food, and on the frequency of opening the drawer.
• When you buy food check its freshness: quality and durability
of food depends on it.
• Store non-wrapped animal or vegetable food separately, or
wrap it in suitable packages. Be careful to prevent touching
of different types of meat. They should be packed and stored
separately to avoid bacterial decomposition in case meat turns
foul.
• Approximately 30-60 minutes prior use remove food from
the drawer to let its aroma and taste develop at ambient
temperature.
• Food sensitive to low temperatures is not suitable for storage
in the FreshZone drawer: pineapple, avocado, bananas,
olives, potato, eggplant, cucumber, beans, bell pepper,
melons, water melons, pumpkins,...
