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 drawer before storing food in it.
Very wet food should be dried off before storing it.
Allocate the optimum settings to food you wish to store (e.g. humidity or temperature).
An increased humidity level in the humidity-controlled compartment is achieved with the moisture present in the food being stored. The more food stored, the higher the humidity. If the humidity level is too high and a lot of moisture has collected, select a setting with lower humidity. Wipe off any condensate with a cleaning cloth. If necessary, place a rack or similar item in the compartment so that excess moisture can drain away.
If the humidity level is too low and food is withering quickly, select a setting with higher humidity. If the quantity of food being stored in this compartment is small, the humidity level may be too low. If you are only storing a small amount of food, wrap it in airtight packaging.
If the temperature in the PerfectFresh/MasterFresh Pro drawer is too high or too low, adjust the temperature. If ice crystals start to form on the floor of the drawer, increase the temperature as otherwise the cold temperature will damage the food.
Store fruit and vegetables unwrapped.
Always store cut fruit and vegetables covered or wrapped in an airtight container.
Do not store any food which is sensitive to cold in the PerfectFresh/MasterFresh Pro drawer.
