Fruit and vegetable bins and humidity control cover

The fruit and vegetable bins feature a unique cover which provides two functions:

The humidity cover seals the bins and provides a humid microclimate to extend storage times
of fruits and vegetables.

The humidity cover prevents condensation, which forms at high humidities, from dripping down
onto the fruit and vegetables. The ability to retain high humidity in the fruit and vegetable bin
may produce small amounts of water in the bottom of the fruit and vegetable bins. This can be
wiped out as required.

Fruit and vegetable bins and humidity slide (where fitted)

Each fruit and vegetable bin has a humidity slide 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.

Remember a small amount of water in the bins is beneficial for fruit and vegetable storage.
