Fruit and vegetable bins and humidity control lid
The fruit and vegetable bins feature a unique lid which provides two functions:
The humidity lid seals the bins to provide a humid microclimate to extend storage times of fruits
and vegetables.
The humidity lid prevents condensation, which forms at high humidities, from dripping down
onto the fruit and vegetables by retaining it in the grooves of the lid.
Fruit and vegetable bins and humidity slide (where fitted)
Each fruit and vegetable bin has a humidity control slide that can be adjusted to fruit or
vegetable setting 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 centre.
If there is too much water in the bins (due to the high humidity in the bins) the control can be
adjusted towards the setting with fewer drips (fruit setting) and/or the water can be wiped out as
required.
Remember a small amount of water in the bins is beneficial for fruit and vegetable storage.

Door alarms
If the fresh food compartment door is left open the alarm will beep after 90 seconds and if the
freezer door is left open the alarm will beep after 60 seconds.
While either door remains open, subsequent beeps will sound every 30 seconds for 5 minutes.
A continuous alarm will sound if the door has been left open for 5 minutes or longer and the
light will turn off. The alarm will stop when the door is closed.
