Humidity control lids
The control lids are fitted to the fruit and vegetable bins and slim bin 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

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

Use the fruit setting

stone fruits and some tropical fruits.
We recommend adjusting the humidity slide to the center when you store both

fruits and vegetables.
We recommend storing all fruit and vegetables without external packaging and

in separate bins.
Separating the fruit and vegetables prevent ethylene-sensitive produce from ripening too
z
quickly, and help extend their storage life.
