BioFresh compartment
The BioFresh compartment enables you to keep a range of fresh food fresh for up to three times as long as you would in a standard refrigerator, thus making your stocks last longer. Taste, freshness and nutritional value (vitamin B and C group content) remain largely intact. Spoilage and weight loss in vegetables and fruit are reduced, leaving food more fresh and natural.
The automatically controlled storage temperature, which is kept between 0°C and 2°C, and the resultant humidity provi- de the ideal storage conditions for different types of food.
The top drawer
is suitable for storing dry and wrapped food (e.g. dairy pro- ducts, meat, fish, cold meats). The storage climate in this drawer is relatively dry.

The drawer with humidity control
can be set to "humid" for storage of unwrapped salad, vege- tables and fruit. When the drawer is full, the climate will be
You can set the humidity in this drawer to dry or moist as required.
Humidity selection, fig. A2:
W"dry" setting: small humidity symbol - slide control to left. Insert food that is suitable for being stored in a dry climate.
W"humid" setting: high relative humidity of max. 90%, large humidity symbol - slide control to right. This setting is suitable for storing unwrapped food with a high mois- ture content such as fresh lettuce.
Notes:
WThe humidity in the compartment depends on the moisture content of the food in it, and the frequency with which the compartment is opened.
WWhen buying food, check that it is fresh - the fresher the product and the higher its quality, the longer it will keep.
WUnwrapped animal and vegetable foods should be stored separately in the drawers. If there is not enough space for them to be stored separately, make sure that they are wrapped.
Do not allow different types of meat to come into contact with one another but keep them packaged separately so as to avoid premature bacterial spoilage.
WPlease note that
WRemove food from the drawers some time before con- sumption. Enjoyment will be enhanced in this way as the aroma and flavour develop best at room temperature.
WIf you require space for large bottles and containers,
-lift the front half of the split glass shelf* and carefully slide it under the back half until the stops click into the recesses, see figure.
