It is very important to set the correct temperature for storing food in the appliance. Micro-organisms will cause food which is not stored at the correct temperature to deteriorate rapidly. Temperature influences the growth rate of these micro-organisms. Reducing the temperature reduces their growth rate. The temperature in the appliance will rise:[...]

– Each subsequent touch of a sensor: changes the setting incrementally. – Leaving a finger on the sensor: changes the setting continuously. Approx. 5 seconds after taking your finger off a sensor, the current setting of the PerfectFresh zone is automatically shown.

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. Cucumbers, for example, become glassy, aubergines bitter and potatoes sweet. Tomatoes and oranges loose their aroma, and the peel on citrus fruits hardens. Food which is se[...]

Please take into account that high humidity is only achieved and effective if the food is stored unwrapped or loosely wrapped . – The high humidity setting . is ideal for storing freshly harvested produce such as vegetables, salad, herbs, cabbage and home-grown seasonal fruit. , = low humidity. The regulator opens the vents to the compartment all[...]

Can all types of food be stored together? Do not place all types of food together in one compartment. Some types of food do not store well together. Aromas and flavours can transfer from one type of food to another (e.g. carrots absorb the smell and flavour of onions very easily). 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. It can then be raised or lowered to the required level. The raised edge at the back must face upwards to prevent food from touching the back of the applia[...]

PerfectFresh zone compartments The compartments in the PerfectFresh zone are on telescopic rails, and can be removed for filling, emptying or cleaning purposes. ^ Pull out the compartment as far as it will go, and then lift it up and out. Push the runners back in again to avoid injury or damage. ^ Carefully pull out the lid between the compartments[...]

Maximum freezing capacity To ensure that fresh food placed in the freezer freezes through to the core as quickly as possible, the maximum freezing capacity must not be exceeded. The maximum freezing capacity for freezing within a 24-hour period is given on the data plate: "Freezing capacity ....kg/24 hrs". The maximum freezing capacity gi[...]

Home freezing Only freeze fresh food which is in a good condition. Hints on home freezing – The following types of food are suitable for freezing: Fresh meat, poultry, game, fish, vegetables, herbs, fresh fruit, dairy products, pastry, leftovers, egg yolks, egg whites and a range of pre-cooked meals. – The following types of food are not suitab[...]

Before placing food in the freezer section ^ When freezing more than 2 kg of fresh food, switch on the Super freeze function for some time before placing the food in the freezer (see "Super freeze").

Defrosting Frozen food can be defrosted in different ways: – in a microwave oven, – in an oven using the "Fan" or "Defrost" setting, – at room temperature, – in the refrigerator (the cold given off by the frozen food helps to keep the other food cold), – in a steam oven. Poultry It is particularly important to observe [...]

Cool pack The cool pack prevents the temperature in the freezer rising too quickly in the event of a power cut. Place the cool pack in the top drawer of the freezer section, directly on top of the food. The cool pack will be at its most effective after it has been in the freezer for approx. 24 hours. If there is a power cut, place the cool pack dir[...]
