Fresh food features, Meat drawer | Fisher & Paykel RX256, RX216

Fresh food features 17

The fresh food compartment is designed to keep your fresh food as fresh, chilled, healthy, and

tasty as possible.

Fruit and vegetable storage

The fruit and vegetable storage bin provides an environment in which you control the humidity.

Fruit and vegetables stored in the normal refrigerator environment will lose moisture very quickly to the cold, dry air. This means they will shrivel and lose flavor very quickly. By controlling the humidity in the bin, the air is kept moist, and fruit and vegetables retain significantly more moisture. This keeps them more flavorsome, fresher and healthier, for longer.

Fruit needs slightly lower humidity than vegetables, so the storage bin has an adjustable slide with three settings.

Meat drawer

The temperature controlled meat drawer at the bottom of the fresh food compartment provides an environment perfect for storing a range of items. It has two settings – cold setting and coldest setting.

The coldest setting is slightly colder than the rest of the fresh food compartment, and is perfect for storing meat. The cold setting is a similar temperature as the fresh food compartment, and is great for other fresh foods. To change between settings slide the control to the desired setting.
