For better use of space, the front half-
shelves (A) can be placed under the rear
ones. (B)
Do not move the glass shelf
above the vegetable drawer
to ensure correct air
circulation.5.3  LongFresh Compartment
The storage temperature and the relative
humidity (between 45 and 90 %) provide
optimal conditions for the storage of
various kinds of food.
To learn about the temperature settings
in the LongFresh compartment please
refer to the “LongFresh compartment setting” section
LongFresh compartment is suitable for
the storage of a variety of fresh food as it
preserves its high nutritional values as

in comparison to the regular refrigerator.
The LongFresh compartment is also
suitable for defrosting food.
The thawed food can be stored up to
two days.5.4  Humidity control
Both drawers can be used according to
the desired storage conditions
independently of each other with lower
or higher humidity.
Regulation for each drawer is separate
and is controlled using the slide valve at the front of the drawer.
• “Dry“: low air humidity - up to 50 % relative humidity
This humidity level is reached when both sliders are set into this position
and the ventilation openings are
wide open.
• Humid“: high relative humidity - up to 90%
This humidity level is reached when both sliders are set in this position
and the ventilation openings are
closed. Humidity is kept and can not escape.

							Type of foodAir humidity adjustmentStorage timeBlueberries, raspberries “humid”up to 5 daysCakes containing cream and
other kinds of pastry
products can be stored in
the LongFresh compartment
for 2 or 3 days.Not to be placed in the
LongFresh compartment:
• cold sensitive fruit which have to be stored at cellar or room temperature
like pineapple, bananas, grapefruit, melons, mango, papaya, oranges,
lemons, kiwi fruit.
• The types of food not mentioned above should be stored in the
refrigerator compartment (e.g. all
sorts of cheese, cold cuts, etc.)
The level of air humidity in
the drawers depends on the
content of humidity in the
stored food, vegetable and
fruit and on the frequency of
door opening
The LongFresh compartment is also
suitable for slow thawing of food. In this
case the thawed food can be stored in the LongFresh compartment for up to
two days.
• Pay attention to the freshness of the food, especially on the expiry date.Quality and freshness influence the
storage time.
• The whole storage cycle time will depend on the preservation
conditions made prior to the final
storage in the fridge.
• Food, fruit or vegetables should always be packed or wrapped up
before storage.
• Animal food always store packed and dry.
• Food rich in proteins will go bad quicker. This means seafood will spoil
before fish which in turn will spoil
before meat. While storing food in a
LongFresh compartment storage time
for that kind of food can be increased by up to three times as well without loss on quality.
• All food stored in a LongFresh compartment should be taken out of
the drawers roughly 15-30 min before
consumption, particularly fruit and
vegetables to be consumed without
any additional cooking process.
Allowing fruit and vegetables to
return to room temperature will
improve the texture and flavour.5.6  DYNAMICAIR
The refrigerator compartment is
equipped with a device that allows for
rapid cooling of foods and more uniform temperature in the compartment.
This device activates by itself when
needed, for example for a quick
temperature recovering after door opening or when the ambient
temperature is high.
The DYNAMICAIR device
stops when the door is open
and restarts immediately
after the door closing.www.aeg.com10
