Refrigerators with fresh zone

Fresh zone

— a special compartment designed for long-term storage of fresh vegetables, herbs and other similar products.

Such a compartment can be made in the form of a completely separate zero chamber or, more often, the fresh zone is located inside the main compartment. Anyway, the humidity in this zone is somewhat higher than in the refrigerator compartment, and the temperature is somewhat lower: in some models, it is about zero (which allows you to store raw meat or fish), in others it is about +1 .. .3 °C (this is only suitable for fruits, vegetables and cheeses).

This feature is especially useful if there is a No Frost system in the unit's refrigerator compartment (see "Full No Frost"). Also note that the humidity zone has a similar purpose, but it provides for slightly different conditions; see the relevant paragraph for more details.
