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 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.
5.5.2 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.
5.5.3 Storing food
Note
uVegetables sensitive to cold, such as cucumbers, aubergines,
semi-ripe tomatoes, zucchinis and all tropical fruits sensitive
to cold, do not belong in the BioFresh compartment.
uTo 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:
uwrap the food.
