~ Fig. *
The vegetable container is the best
storage location for fresh fruit and
vegetables. You can adjust the air
humidity in the vegetable container via
the humidity controller and a special
seal. This allows fresh fruit and
vegetables to be stored twice as long
as with conventional storage.
The air humidity in the vegetable
container can be set according to
the type and amount of products to
be stored:
Mainly fruit as well as for a large
■
load – set lower air humidity
Mainly vegetables as well as for
■
a mixed load or small load – set
higher air humidity
Notes

■
(e.g. pineapple, banana, papaya
and citrus fruit) and vegetables
sensitive to cold (e.g. aubergines,
cucumbers, zucchini, peppers,
tomatoes and potatoes) should be
stored outside the refrigerator
at temperatures of approx.
+8 °C – +12 °C for optimum
preservation of quality and flavour.
Condensation may form in the
■
vegetable container depending on
the food and quantity stored.
Remove condensation with a dry
cloth and adjust air humidity in the
vegetable container with
the humidity controller.
