Using The Masterfresh Zone; Storage Temperature; Humidity Level; Storing Food In The Masterfresh Zones - Miele KF 1801 Vi Operating And Installation Instructions

Food is stored in the MasterFresh zone
at lower temperatures than in the
conventional refrigerator section. The
humidity level in the MasterFresh zone
can be regulated to provide the correct
conditions for food stored inside it.
Due to the optimum storage conditions
created within the MasterFresh zone,
food remains fresh for longer, and
flavour and vitamins are retained.

Storage temperature

The optimum storage temperature for
fresh food which is not sensitive to the
cold is 0 - 3 °C. This is the temperature
range which is automatically
maintained in the MasterFresh zone.
Food can be stored the MasterFresh
zone at this temperature without loss of
freshness for considerably longer than
in a standard refrigerator, as the
deterioration process is decelerated at
this temperature.
Remember that the initial freshness
of the food when placed in the
refrigerator is crucial for good
storage results.

Using the MasterFresh zone

Humidity level

The humidity level in the
MasterFresh zone depends on:
– the moisture content of the
stored food, and
– the quantity of food
being stored.
The closer the storage humidity is to the
moisture content of the food, the crisper
and fresher the food remains over a
longer period, as the water content of
the food is largely retained.
Storing food in the MasterFresh
zones
The MasterFresh drawer is divided into
two zones.

atmosphere such as meat, fish and
dairy products
