ActiveSmart™ special features

Fruit and vegetable bins and humidity control lid

The 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 fruits 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 adaptor control that can be adjusted to fruit or vegetables 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 center.

■■If there is too much water 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 small amount of water in the bins is beneficial for fruit and vegetable storage.

Ice trays and lid

■■To empty the ice cubes into the lid, hold the tray and lid together and twist to dislodge the cubes.

■■Refill the ice tray with water, place lid containing ice cubes on top and store in the freezer.

■■Ice cubes are best stored in a closed container or plastic bag as they readily absorb odors and tastes from other foods.
