Humidity control system
Humidity control lids
The control lids are fitted to the fruit and vegetable bins of your refrigerator.
z
These lids seal the bins and provide a humid microclimate to extend the storage times of
fruit and vegetables.
z
The lids have specially designed grooves that retain moisture to prevent condensation
from dripping onto the fruits and vegetables at times of high humidity.
Humidity slide
STORAGE FEATURES
Each bin has an adjustable humidity slide that enables you to choose a fruit or vegetable
setting depending on your storage needs.
z
If there is too much water in the bins (due to high humidity), the control can be
adjusted towards the fruit setting
to reduce drips of water and/or wipe the
water dry (if required).
z
Be aware that a small amount of water in the bins is beneficial for fruit and
vegetable storage.
z
Use the vegetable setting
when you store ethylene-sensitive vegetables such
as lettuce, spinach, broccoli, cabbage, carrots.
z
Use the fruit setting
when you store high-ethylene fruits such as citrus fruits,
stone fruits and some tropical fruits.
z
We recommend adjusting the humidity slide to the center when you store both
fruits and vegetables.
z
We recommend storing all fruit and vegetables without external packaging and
in separate bins.
z
Separating the fruit and vegetables prevent ethylene-sensitive produce from ripening too
quickly, and help extend their storage life.
