Variable-temperature drawer
This drawer 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 drawer to
operate from -5°C to 3°C. This enables you to set the perfect temperature based on what you are
storing in the drawer.
The variable-temperature drawer is suitable for storing fruit and vegetables as well as dairy
products, deli products and fresh meats.
■
■
The 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 drawer set at 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 -1°C. Ensure the meat is
fresh when purchased and covered or wrapped-well during storage.
