Automatic Humidity Control

Some crispers are equipped with an Automatic Humidity Control system, eliminating the need for manual humidity slide controls on the drawer. A fabric-like material* covers small air vents in the shelf insert above the crispers.

This material controls the flow of moisture out of the crisper. If a food spill should occur on the air vent or fabric-like material, wipe with a clean, damp cloth.

*Maytag Automatic Humidity Control system features a unique, patented material called Shape Memory Polymer (SMP) that when laminated to fabric, becomes DIAPLEX. DIAPLEX is manufactured by Mitsubishi.

For best results, keep crispers tightly closed.
