Customizing the storage environment

Fridge mode

13

The Fridge mode is the ideal storage environment for most fresh foods.

When storing fresh fruits and vegetables, we recommend that they are stored in either the bin on the top tray or the bin on the left-hand side of the main tray. Both of these bins are humidity controlled. This will help to preserve the quality of the fruits and vegetables, therefore increasing their storage life.

If possible, separate fruit and vegetables for optimum storage life.

Ensure all food is well wrapped (except for fruit and vegetables stored in the vegetable bins), covered or placed in a container before it is stored.

To use Fridge mode:

1Press and hold the LOCK button for 3 seconds to unlock the control panel.

2Press the MODE SELECT button.

3 Scroll to FRIDGE mode.

4 The Fridge mode icon will flash until the compartment is at a suitable temperature for food to be added into the compartment (this will take between 1 – 6 hours).

Fruit and vegetable Humidity Control System (HCS)

Humidity control cover

The vegetable bins feature a unique hidden cover which provides two functions:

The humidity cover seals the bins and provides a humid micro climate to extend storage times of fruits and vegetables.

The humidity cover prevents condensation, which forms at high humidity, from dripping down onto the fruit and vegetables by retaining the moisture droplets in the lid. The ability to maintain high humidity in the fruit and vegetable bins may produce small amounts of water in the bottom of the fruit and vegetable bins. This can be wiped out as necessary.
