Install Produce Preserver

(on some models)

The accessory packet includes two produce preserver pouches, which should be installed in a crisper drawer prior to use.

NOTE: For best performance, always use two pouches.

The produce preserver absorbs ethylene, to slow the ripening process of many produce items. As a result, certain produce items will stay fresh longer.

Ethylene production and sensitivity varies depending on the type of fruit or vegetable. To preserve freshness, it is best to separate produce with sensitivity to ethylene from fruits that produce moderate to high amounts of ethylene.

	Produces
	Ethylene
	Very	Low	High	Very
	Low			High
Sensitivity
to Ethylene
High	Broccoli			Apples
	Lettuce			Pears
	Spinach
Med.	Asparagus		Cantaloupe
	Citrus fruit
Low	Carrots	Berries
	Grapes
