Food is stored at a lower temperature in the PerfectFresh zone than in the refrigerator section. The humidity in the PerfectFresh zone compartment can also be regulated to suit the food being stored. Providing ideal storage conditions ensures that food stays fresh considerably longer while retaining both flavour and vitamins. Storage temperature Th[...]

Food which is not suitable for storing in the refrigerator Not all food is suitable for storing in a refrigerator at temperatures below 5 °C, as some food is sensitive to cold.

Some food also gives off a natural gas (ethylene) which speeds up th[...]

The following tips may help if you find that food you have stored does not keep well (e.g. food becomes limp or wilts after only being stored for a short time): ^ Only use the appliance for storing fresh food. The condition of the food when it is first placed in the appliance is an important factor in determining how long it stays fresh. ^ Clean fo[...]

Moving the shelves The shelves can be adjusted according to the height of the food. ^ Raise the shelf, and pull it forwards slightly until the notch at the side is in line with the shelf support.
