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