ACTIVESMART™ SPECIAL FEATURES
Humidity control system
Humidity control lids
The control lids are fitted to the fruit and vegetable bins and slim bin of your refrigerator.
These lids seal the bins and provide a humid microclimate to extend the storage times
of fruit and vegetables.
The lids have specially designed grooves that retain moisture to prevent condensation
from dripping onto the fruits and vegetables at times of high humidity.
Humidity slide
Each bin has an adjustable humidity slide that enables you to choose a fruit or
vegetable setting depending on your storage needs.
If there is too much water in the bins (due to high humidity), the control can be
adjustedtowards the fruit setting to reduce drips of water and/or wipe the water
dry (if required).
Be aware that a small amount of water in the bins is beneficial for fruit and vegetable
storage.
We recommend using the vegetable setting when you store ethylene-sensitive
vegetables such as lettuce, spinach, broccoli, cabbage, carrots.
We recommend using the fruit setting when you store high-ethylene fruits such as
citrus fruits, stone fruits and some tropical fruits.
We recommend adjusting the humidity slide to the center when you store both fruits
and vegetables.
We recommend storing all fruits and vegetables without external packaging and in
separate bins.
– Separating the fruits and vegetables prevent ethylene-sensitive produce from
ripening too quickly, and help extend their storage life.
