WHAT CAN I DO TO
PROLONG THE LIFE
OF MY PRODUCE?
Please observe the following rules when
storing produce in humidity-controlled
crisper drawers:
DO NOT wash produce before placing
in crispers. Any additional moisture
added to the drawers may cause pro-
duce to prematurely spoil.
DO NOT line crispers with paper
towels. Towels will retain moisture.
DO NOT place leafy vegetables in the
temperature-controlled drawer. Colder
temperatures will damage leafy produce.
Follow control instructions carefully.
Not setting controls correctly may
damage produce.
