5.5 BioFresh compartment
The BioFresh compartment allows some types of fresh food to be stored up to three times longer than in conventional refriger- ators, without compromising quality.
For food with an indicated best before date, the date specified on the packaging always applies.
5.5.1 DrySafe
The DrySafe is suitable for storing dry or wrapped food (e.g. dairy products, meat, fish, sausages). A relatively dry storage climate is established here.
5.5.2 HydroSafe
The HydroSafe at the moist setting is suited for storing unwrapped salad, vegetables and fruit with high inherent mois- ture. When the drawer is well filled, a dewy climate with up to 90% humidity is established. The humidity in the compartment depends on the moisture content of the food stored and on the opening frequency. You can set the humidity yourself.
5.5.3 Setting the humidity in the HydroSafe
u
Low humidity: move the regulator to the left.
u
High humidity: move the regu- lator to the right.
5.5.4 Storing food
Note
u Vegetables sensitive to cold, such as cucumbers, auber- gines,
u To prevent food spoilage due to transfer of germs: Store unwrapped animal and vegetable products separate from one another in the drawers. This also applies to different sorts of meat.
If food has to be stored together due to lack of space: u wrap the food.
