Storing food in the DailyFresh drawer
55
Observe the following tips if you find that food you have stored does not keep
well (e.g. food becomes limp or wilts after only being stored for a short time):
Only place fresh food in the appliance. The initial condition of the food is crucial
to maintaining freshness.
Clean the DailyFresh drawer before storing food in it.
Very wet food should be dried off before storing it.
Do not store food which is sensitive to cold in the DailyFresh drawer (see “Stor-
ing food in the fridge zone – Food which is not suitable for storage in the fridge
zone”).
Set the compartment cover to the correct position for the food being stored (hu-
midity not increased
or humidity increased
).
An increased humidity level
in the humidity-controlled compartment is
achieved with the moisture present in the food being stored if it is stored un-
wrapped. The more food stored in the compartment, the higher the humidity.
If too much moisture collects in the compartment at the
setting and the food
is affected, dry the floor and place a rack or similar item in the compartment so
that excess moisture can drip down. Alternatively, reduce the humidity
by
pulling the compartment cover forwards.
If the humidity level is too low despite the
setting, wrap the food in airtight
packaging.
