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 timesof
fruit and vegetables.

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
adjustedtowards the fruit setting to reduce drips of water and/or wipe the
waterdry (if required).
z
Be aware that a small amount of water in the bins is beneficial for fruit and
vegetablestorage.
z
Use the vegetable setting when you store ethylene-sensitive vegetables such
aslettuce, spinach, broccoli, cabbage, carrots.
z
Use the fruit setting when you store high-ethylene fruits such ascitrus fruits,
stonefruits and some tropical fruits.
z
We recommend adjusting the humidity slide to the center when you store both
fruitsandvegetables.
z
We recommend storing all fruit and vegetables without external packaging and
inseparate bins.
z
Separating the fruit and vegetables prevent ethylene-sensitive produce fromripening too
quickly, and help extend their storage life.
