WARNING!
In the event of accidental
defrosting, for example due
to a power failure, if the
power has been off for
longer than the value shown
in the technical
characteristics chart under
"rising time", the defrosted
food must be consumed
quickly or cooked
immediately and then re-
frozen (after cooling).
4.6 Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to
being used, can be thawed in the
refrigerator compartment or at room
temperature, depending on the time
available for this operation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still
frozen, directly from the freezer: in this
case, cooking will take longer.
4.7 LongFresh 0°C
Compartment
In the LongFresh compartment the
temperature is controlled automatically.
It stays constantly at about 0°C, no
adjustment is necessary.
The constant storage temperature of
about 0°C and the relative humidity of
between 45 and 90 % provide optimal
conditions for the various kinds of food.
You can therefore store a
variety of fresh food in the
LongFresh compartment,
where it will last up to 3
times longer with better
quality compared to normal
refrigerator compartments.
This allows you to stock
more fresh food. Taste,
degree of freshness, quality
and nutritional values
(vitamins and minerals) are
well preserved. Loss of
weight in vegetables and
fruit diminishes. Food yields
a higher degree of
nutritional value.
The LongFresh
compartment is also suitable
for defrosting food.
In this case the thawed food
can be stored up to two
days.
4.8 Humidity control
The wire shelves inside the drawers
permit that air can circulate freely and
consequently allow better conservation
of food.
The compartment has stops that prevent
the drawers from falling out when fully
extended. To remove the drawer:
1. Pull the drawer to the maximum.
2. Lift and pull out the drawer.
L O N G F R E S H
The drawers marked with water drop
symbols:
and
according to the desired storage
conditions independently of each other
with lower or higher humidity.
Regulation for each drawer is separate
and is controlled using the slide valve at
the front of the drawer.
• "Dry": low air humidity - up to 50 %
relative humidity.
This humidity level is reached when
both sliders are set into this position
and the ventilation openings are
wide open.
• Humid": high relative humidity - up to
90%.
This humidity level is reached when
both sliders are set in this position
and the ventilation openings are
closed. Humidity is kept and can not
escape.
