SPECIAL FEATURES
Variable temperature compartment
This compartment is controlled by a separate system to the refrigerator and freezer
compartments to provide you with greater flexibility of food storage.
Different foods require different storage temperatures so we have designed this
compartment to operate from 23°F–37°F (-5°C–3°C). This enables you to set the
perfect temperature based on what you are storing in the compartment.
The variable temperature compartment is suitable for storing fruit and vegetables as
well as dairy products, deli products and fresh meats.
 The 37°F (3°C) setting is suitable for most fresh, perishable food items such as fruit
andvegetables, dairy products and deli items.
 If you are storing fruit and vegetables, keep the compartment set at 37°F (3°C) and
loosely wrap your produce in plastic bags. This will reduce moisture loss and prevent
excess moisture build-up.
 To store fresh meat, adjust the temperature to a lower (colder) setting eg 30°F (-1°C).
Ensure the meat is fresh when purchased and covered or wrapped-well during storage.
