Vegetable container with
humidity control
~ Fig. ,
The vegetable container is the best
storage location for fresh fruit and
vegetables. You can adjust the air
humidity in the vegetable container via
the humidity controller and a special
seal. This allows fresh fruit and
vegetables to be stored twice as long
as with conventional storage.
The air humidity in the vegetable
container can be set according to
the type and amount of products to be
stored:
Mainly fruit as well as for a large
■
load – set lower air humidity
Mainly vegetables as well as for
■
a mixed load or small load – set
higher air humidity
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 – +12 °C for optimum
preservation of quality and flavour.
Condensation may form in the
■
vegetable container depending on
the food and quantity stored.
Remove condensation with a dry
cloth and adjust air humidity in the
vegetable container with
the humidity controller.

The freezer compartment can be used
to store perishable foods long-term
almost without any noticeable reduction
in quality, as the low temperatures
considerably slow down or stop
deterioration. Appearance, flavour and
all valuable ingredients are largely
retained.
Long-term storage of food should be at
–18 °C or lower.
The time between putting fresh food in
the freezer compartment and it freezing
solid depends on the following factors:
set temperature
■
type of food
■
amount of food in the freezer
■
compartment
quantity and type of storage
■
Maximum freezing capacity
The maximum freezing capacity
indicates the quantity of food which can
be frozen solid within 24 hours.
Information on the max. freezing
capacity can be found on the rating
plate.
To use the maximum freezer capacity,
switch on Super freeze 24 hours before
placing the fresh food in the freezer
