Food retains its own moisture if stored at a higher humidity and so does not dry out as quickly. This allows it to stay crisp and fresh for longer.

The closer the air humidity in the humiditycontrolled compartment is to the humidity content of the food, the crisper and fresher the food remains over a longer period, as the water content of the food is largely retained.

MastertFresh zone
The MastertFresh zone provides ideal
storage conditions for fruit, vegetables,
fish, meat, and dairy products. Food
stays fresh considerably longer while
retaining both flavor and vitamins.
The MasterFresh zone comprises a
humidity-controlled and a dry
compartment.
-
Depending on the moisture-regulator
setting, the
humidity-controlled
compartment
is particularly suitable
for
storing fruit and vegetables
.
- The
dry compartment
is suitable for
storing perishable foods
such as
fish, meat, and dairy products.
Any type of food can in fact be stored
in this compartment, as long as it is
packaged.
Max. load of the
drawers in the
MasterFresh
zone

Humidity-controlled compartment
with moisture regulator
The humidity level in the humidity-
controlled compartment can be
regulated to approximately suit the food
being stored. Food retains its own
moisture if stored at a higher humidity
and so does not dry out as quickly. This
allows it to stay crisp and fresh for
longer.
The moisture released by food in
storage is kept within the humidity-
controlled compartment drawer. The
closer the air humidity in the humidity-
controlled compartment is to the
humidity content of the food, the crisper
and fresher the food remains over a
longer period, as the water content of
the food is largely retained.
The moisture level greatly depends on
the type and quantity of food being
stored, if stored unwrapped.
The temperature in the humidity-
controlled compartment is
approximately equivalent to the
temperature in the conventional
refrigerator section.
Remember that the fresher the food
when it is placed in the appliance, the
longer it will stay fresh.
