Fruit and vegetable bins and humidity control lid

33

The fruit and vegetable bins feature a unique lid which provides two functions:

■■The humidity lid seals the bins and provides a humid microclimate to extend storage times of fruit and vegetables.

■■The humidity lid prevents condensation, which forms at high humidities, from dripping down onto the fruit and vegetables by retaining it in the grooves of the lid.

Fruit and vegetable bins and humidity slide

■■Each fruit and vegetable bin has a humidity slide control that can be adjusted to a fruit or vegetable setting depending on what is stored in the bins.

■■If possible try to store fruit and vegetables separately. This will help extend their storage life.

■■If there is a mixture of fruit and vegetables in the bin adjust the position of the control to the centre.

■■If there is too much water in the bins (due to the high humidity in the bins), the control can be adjusted towards the setting with fewer drips (fruit setting) and/or the water can be wiped out as required.

■■Remember a minimum amount of water in the bins is beneficial for fruit and vegetable storage.
