Storage Of Food In The Fresh Zone - Smeg Fridge-freezer Instructions For Use Manual

Storage of food in the FRESH ZONE

The FRESH ZONE 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 FRESH ZONE drawer: pineapple, avocado, bananas,
olives, potato, eggplant, cucumber, beans, bell pepper,
melons, water melons, pumpkins,...
• Pulling out the drawer:
- open the drawer door (1), hold them in the middle (as
indicated in the photo above) and simultaneously pull it
upwards and towards yourself.
- Pull out the drawer as far as the position indicated in the
fi gure (detail A); then, rotate it downwards and pull out
