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 adaptor 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 centre.
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.
Ice trays and lid
To empty the ice cubes into the lid, hold the tray and lid together and twist to dislodge.
Refill the ice tray with water, place lid containing ice cubes on top and store in the freezer.
Ice cubes are best stored in a closed container or plastic bag as they readily absorb odours and
tastes from other foods.
Deodoriser (Where fitted)
A deodoriser is fitted to remove unpleasant odours from the refrigerator. It is located behind the
duct cover in the fresh food compartment and will last for the life of your fridge.
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.
