The “cool-fresh”
compartment
The temperature in the fridge is about
0 °C. The low temperature and the
optimum moisture provide ideal storage
conditions for fresh food.
Food can be kept fresh up to three times
longer in the “cool-fresh” compartment
than in the normal cooling zone – for
even longer freshness, nutrient retention
and flavour.
Humidity container
Fig. 1/17
The humidity container is covered with
a special filter which optimises retention
of the air humidity in the storage
compartment. As a result, there is up
to 95% air humidity in the humidity
container, depending on the amount of
products put in. This storage climate
offers ideal conditions for fresh fruit,
salad greens, vegetables, herbs and
mushrooms.
Foods suitable for “cool-fresh”
container:
In the “cool-fresh” container:

iceberg lettuce, chicory, lettuce)
■ Herbs (e.g. dill, parsley, chives, basil)
■ Fruit (types insensitive to cold, e.g.
apples, peaches, berries, grapes)
Foods not suitable for
the “cool-fresh” drawer:
Fruit and vegetables sensitive to cold
(e.g.: tropical fruit such as pineapples,
bananas, papaya, citrus fruits, melons as
well as tomatoes, aubergines, zucchini,
capsicums, cucumbers, potatoes).
The ideal storage location for these
foods is the refrigerator compartment.
When purchasing food, please
note:
The “purchase freshness” is important
for the shelf-life of your food.
In principle, the fresher the produce
when placed in the “cool-fresh”
compartment, the longer it stays fresh.
Therefore, when buying food, always pay
attention to the degree of freshness.
Observe the best-before date specified
by the manufacturer for ready products
and bottled products.
