The "cool-fresh" compartment

The temperature in the fridge is about 0 °C. The low

storage conditions for fresh food.
Food can be kept fresh up to three times longer in the
"cool-fresh" compartment than in the normal cooling
zone – for even longer freshness, nutrient retention
and flavour.

Humidity container

The humidity container is covered with a special filter
which optimises retention of the air humidity
in the storage compartment. As a result, there is up
to 95 % air humidity in the humidity container,
depending on the amount of products put in. This
storage climate offers ideal conditions for fresh fruit,
salad greens, vegetables, herbs and mushrooms.
Notes
▯
Fruit sensitive to cold (e.g. pineapple, banana,
papaya and citrus fruit) and vegetables sensitive
to cold (e.g. aubergines, cucumbers, zucchini,
peppers, tomatoes and potatoes) should be
stored outside the refrigerator at temperatures
of approx. 8 °C to 12 °C for optimum
preservation of quality and flavour.
▯
Condensation may form in the humidity container
depending on the type and quantity of products
stored. Remove condensation with a dry cloth.
