ACTIVESMART™ REFRIGERATOR SPECIAL FEATURES
Fruit and vegetable bins with humidity control lids
Your refrigerator has two fruit and vegetable bins and one slim bin. These bins are fitted
● ●
with humidity control lids and settings for either fruit or vegetable storage.
The unique humidity control lid functions to seal the bins and provide a humid
● ●
microclimate to extend the storage times of fruit and vegetables.
During times of high humidity the lid also functions to prevent condensation from
● ●
dripping onto the fruit and vegetable by retaining this moisture in the lid's specially
designed grooves.
Fruit and vegetable bins with humidity slide
All fruit and vegetable bins have an adjustable humidity slide which 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 adjusted
● ●
towards the setting with fewer drips (fruit setting,
dry when required.
Remember a small amount of water in the bins is beneficial for fruit and vegetable storage.
● ●
When storing vegetables; which are ethylene-sensitive produce such as lettuce, spinach,
● ●
broccoli, cabbage, carrots. We recommend using the vegetable setting,
When storing fruits which are generally high ethylene producers; such as citrus fruits,
● ●
stone fruits and some tropical fruits. We recommend using the fruit setting,
When storing a combination of fruit and vegetable, we recommend adjusting the
● ●
humidity slide to the center.
Ideally store whole fruits and vegetables without external packaging, if possible, and in
● ●
separate bins. Separating fruit and vegetables will prevent ethylene-sensitive produce
from ripening too quickly, and help extend their storage life.
