Crisper and Crisper Shelf
The crisper compartment absorbs and decomposes ethylene gas (*) emitted from
fruits and vegetables with a FILTER in the crisper shelf, keeping fruits and vegetables
fresh. The filter also eliminates unpleasant odours from inside the crisper, and control
the excess water released by the vegetables, maintaining a high humidity environment
inside the crisper. When the crisper shelf become dirty, remove the filter by taking out the
filter cover and wash the crisper cover with water.
! Do not wash the Humidity-Control Filter with water.
(*) NOTE; Ethylene gas is a gas, produced from fruits and vegetables, which acceler-
ates the ageing of fruits and vegetables. For example, spinach and broccoli turn to yellow
colour easily in places where ethylene gas is abundant
