Customizing the storage environment
Humidity control
Each fruit and vegetable bin has a humidity control button that can be adjusted to care for fruit or vegetables depending on what is stored in the bins. The humidity controls are located on the left hand side of the compartment (as shown in fig 3, on the previous page).
If possible, try to store fruit and vegetables separately. This will help to extend their storage life. If there is too much water in the bins, the control can be adjusted to the FRUIT setting.
Remember a small amount of water in the bins is beneficial for fruit and vegetable storage. The vegetable screens, in the bottom of the bins, will ensure that fresh produce is held above any moisture in the bottom of the bins to retain optimum freshness.
To adjust the humidity setting:
The picture on the top of the humidity control button will show the current setting. To change the setting, simply push the adjustment button.
