Using the MasterFresh zone
^ Touch the sensor for the type of food
that you wish to store in the
MasterFresh zone selected.
The humidity level for the food
selected will automatically be set.
^ You can deselect the type of food by
touching the relevant sensor again.
You cannot store foods that like high
humidity alongside foods that prefer a
dry atmosphere. However, you can
store several foods from the same
humidity/dry group at the same time.
^ Now place the food in its
corresponding MasterFresh zone.
The humidity level can be regulated
with the help of a special filter located
above the MasterFresh zones. This filter
is air permeable, but retains the
humidity.
Foods that prefer a higher humidity
include:
– Freshly picked vegetables, lettuce,
herbs, mushrooms, cabbages and
fruit.
Please take into account that a high
humidity is only achieved and effective
if the food is stored unwrapped or
loosely wrapped.

Foods that prefer a dry atmosphere
include:
– fresh fish, shellfish, meat, poultry,
sausages, dairy products and
specialty salads.
Please note that foods rich in protein
deteriorate faster than others.
Shellfish, for example, deteriorates
faster than fish, and fish deteriorates
faster than meat.
Always keep these foods covered or
wrapped.
Exception: Meat The surface of the
meat dries out slightly, helping to
prevent the growth of bacteria, which
results in the meat lasting longer. To
prevent the risk of bacterial
cross-contamination and meat
deteriorating, do not let one type of
meat come into direct contact with
another type.
Take food out of the MasterFresh
zones approx. 30 - 60 minutes
before using it. The aroma and taste
do not fully develop until the food
has reached room temperature.
Please note: The function of the
MasterFresh zones is reduced when
the dividing panel is not in place.
