control
The vegetable container is the best storage location for
fresh fruit and vegetables.You can adjust the humidity in
the vegetable container via the humidity controller and a
special seal. This allows fresh fruit and vegetables to be
stored up to 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 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, courgettes,
peppers, tomatoes and potatoes) should be stored
outside the appliance 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
