Fresh food features

The fresh food compartment is designed to keep your food as fresh, nutritious and flavoursome as possible.

Fruit and vegetable storage

Fruit and vegetables stored in the normal refrigerator environment will lose moisture very quickly to the cold, dry air. This decreases their storage life as they will lose moisture and shrivel very quickly. The fruit and vegetable storage bin provides an environment in which you control the humidity. By controlling the humidity in the bin, the air is kept moist, and fruit and vegetables retain significantly more moisture. This increases their storage life, keeping them fresher for longer.

Fruit and vegetables have slightly different humidity/storage requirements, so the storage bin has an adjustable humidity slide with three settings. Fruit requires lower humidity storage compared with vegetables.

Meat drawer Fig.11 Fruit and vegetable bin

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 slide settings – cold, 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 to the fresh food compartment, and is great for other fresh foods.
